[Chorus: Zi]
Having enough to feed your family is it too much to ask for
Looking around and there’s no open door
See the rich gets richer off the poor
Why don’t we let the president go to war
Having enough to feed your family is it too much to ask for
Looking around and there’s no open door
See the rich gets richer off the poor
Why don’t we let the president go to war
[Verse 1: Zi]
They say change is coming but they ain’t saying from where
They’re pretending they’re bluffing they really don’t care
‘Cause there’s no rain above ‘em so fuck what happens over there
They call it life or bad luck when we call it unfair
See between the rich and the poor there’s a world I don’t call it a gap
They got more power than us but still they stab us in the back
30 years of loyal services they got the nerve to treat you like trash
And if you got nobody to support you your house will turn into a bag
See money rules the globe to a point where socialism is a bad word
Plus half of us don’t vote so what we go through doesn’t really matter
Life is a bitch but I ain’t mad at her
Bullshit is bullshit even if they bring it to you on a silver platter
And the few who make it from the bottom to the top are quick to kick the ladder
[Chorus: Zi]
Having enough to feed your family is it too much to ask for
Looking around and there’s no open door
See the rich gets richer off the poor
Why don’t we let the president go to war
Having enough to feed your family is it too much to ask for
Looking around and there’s no open door
See the rich gets richer off the poor
Why don’t we let the president go to war
[Verse 2: Zi]
Individualistic society is an oxymoron
Don’t call this conscience rap call it a love song
See I ain’t mad at you getting money but the way you act is so wrong
You got it you can buy it but the consequences you ignore
‘Cause Scarface was a liar man the world ain’t yours
Stopping an earthquake is not something you can pay for
See we’re all equal in front tragedy in front of God
So we all need each other whether you like it or not
That’s why we call it a society and not a jungle
But they’ve turned it into a place where you try to see the other stumble
It’s about what you do and don’t do other than that nobody hates you
It’s about dignity and justice not about begging for your paper
To have a chance to make even if we weren’t favored by nature
[Chorus: Zi]
Having enough to feed your family is it too much to ask for
Looking around and there’s no open door
See the rich gets richer off the poor
Why don’t we let the president go to war
Having enough to feed your family is it too much to ask for
Looking around and there’s no open door
See the rich gets richer off the poor
Why don’t we let the president go to war
[Verse 3: Zi]
I ain’t trying to kick knowledge I ain’t trying to sound smart
This shit ain’t coming from my brain shit is coming from my heart
I wanna be good citizen but why would I vote at all
When the pen that writes checks is the one that writes laws
See we save banks with our taxes but who saves us
They like to blame rappers politicians showing fake love
But we get paid for making music you get paid to change stuff
It maybe changing for them but it ain’t changing for us
Keep thinking y’all can backstab us we’re getting laced up
And people telling me it’s just the way it is
But I believe in throwing up a fist I believe in men
I believe I’m not the only one believing in this
And I believe in a different definition for rich
We had enough love Obama but
I believe in changing things from the bottom up
[Chorus: Zi]
Having enough to feed your family is it too much to ask for
Looking around and there’s no open door
See the rich gets richer off the poor
Why don’t we let the president go to war
Having enough to feed your family is it too much to ask for
Looking around and there’s no open door
See the rich gets richer off the poor
Why don’t we let the president go to war
