The Big One Lyrics |
||
 As you`re walkin` down the streetMight wanna skip a beat Think it over Walkin` to the corner store But it ain`t there no more If you want a loaf of bread You try a pharmacy instead Another chain will set you free When you go to pay the rent You see it`s all been spent The purse is empty Money, money make a buck But you`re all outta luck This town ain`t friendly now A thousand faces stare you down Each one`s afraid of what you see Slither in your sea (can`t deny it) Hide behind the view (gentrifying) Take a life or two (The revolution`s comin` round) Clingin` to the door ( quiver, cower ) Profit off the poor (fight the power) Pay `em even more (That`s why they took Bruce Bailey down) Took Bruce Bailey down Lookin` like the jack is back But he ain`t gonna attack His hands are flippin` Druggies dyin` in the halls They`re bangin` on the walls Your Ma ain`t trippin` now It ain`t a home if you ain`t allowed What time`s the cease fire Where`s the heat? Spittin` on the old (sister/brother) Shittin` on your soul (welfare mother) Profit is the goal (the revolution`s comin` round) Payin` off a loan (mass eviction) Elevate the zone (ain`t no fiction) Breakin` up a home (that`s why they took Bruce Bailey down) Took Bruce Bailey down No more tokens, take a train You swipe a piece of plastic paper No more smokin` on the plane You gripe they`ll take you to the jailer Bind your time, it`s all in vain They tell you as you meet your maker Grief`s the mother of invention Pain`s the midwife to your labor Turn it, burn it, cure it, endure it If you are able, sucker People standing in the park It`s getting mighty dark The kids are scowlin` Shutter up the windows tight This is an evil night The wind is howlin` fast Another tragedy has passed Another stain on you and me Slither in your sea (can`t deny it) Hide behind the view (gentrifying) Take a life or two (The revolution`s comin` round) Clingin` to the door (quiver, cower) Profit off the poor (fight the power) Pay `em even more (That`s why they took Bruce Bailey down) Took Bruce Bailey down Spittin` on the old (sister/brother) Shittin` on your soul (welfare mother) Profit is the goal (the revolution`s comin` round) Payin` off a loan (mass eviction) Elevate the zone (ain`t no fiction) Breakin` up a home (that`s why they took Bruce Bailey down) Took Bruce Bailey down |
