Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Da, da-da-da
Da-da, da-do-da
Da, da-da-da
Da-da, da-do-da
[Verse 2]
Da, da-da-da
Da-da da-do-da
Da, da-da-da
Da-da, da-do-da
[Verse 3]
Rockets
Moon shots
Spend it on
The have-nots
Money
We make it
'Fore we see it
You take it
[Verse 4]
Inflation
No chance
To increase
Finance
Bills pile up
Sky high
Send that boy off
To die
[Verse 5]
Yeah, make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Yeah, make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
[Verse 6]
Da, da-da-da
Da-da, da-do-da
Da, da-da-da
Da-da, da-do-da
[Verse 7]
Hang ups
Let downs
Bad breaks
Setbacks
Natural
Fact is
I can't pay
My taxes
[Verse 8]
Well, make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Yeah, make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
[Verse 9]
Da, da-da-da
Da-da, da-do-da
Da, da-da-da
Da-da, da-do-da
[Verse 10]
Crime is
Increasing
Trigger happy
Policing
Panic
Is spreading
God knows where
We're heading
[Verse 11]
Well, make me wanna holler
And they don't understand
Yeah, make me wanna holler
And they don't understand
Well, make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Yeah, make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
[Verse 12]
Da, da-da-da
Da-da, da-do-da
Da, da-da-da
Da-da, da-do-da
[Verse 13]
Da, da-da-da
Da-da, da-do-da
Da, da-da-da
Da-da, da-do-da
