Reagan - Killer Mike

[00:00.0]Reagan (Instrumental) - Killer Mike
[00:45.98]The ballot or the bullet
[00:47.11]Some freedom or some bullshit
[00:48.48]Will we ever do it big
[00:49.8]Or keep just settling for little sh*t
[00:51.48]We brag on having bread
[00:52.73]But none of us are bakers
[00:54.3]We all talk having greens
[00:55.61]But none of us own acres
[00:57.23]If none of us on acres
[00:58.55]And none of us grow wheat
[00:59.98]Then who will feed our people
[01:01.36]When our people need to eat
[01:02.86]So it seems our people
[01:03.98]Starve from lack of understanding
[01:05.73]Cause all we seem to give them
[01:07.11]Is some balling and some dancing
[01:08.24]And some talking about our car
[01:09.92]And imaginary mansions
[01:11.229996]We should be indicted for
[01:12.979996]Bullshit we inciting
[01:14.29]Hella children deaf
[01:15.61]And pretending it's exciting
[01:17.17]We are advertisements
[01:18.36]For agony and pain
[01:20.29]We exploit the youth
[01:21.36]We tell them to join a gang
[01:23.05]We tell them d**e stories
[01:24.11]Introduce them to the game
[01:25.79]Just like Oliver North
[01:26.99]Introduced us to coc*ine
[01:28.54]In the 80s when the bricks
[01:29.92]Came on military planes
[01:48.54]The end of the Reagan Era
[01:50.04]I'm like number twelver
[01:51.35]Old enough to understand
[01:52.729996]The sh*t'll change forever
[01:54.29]They declared the war
[01:55.29]On drugs like a war on terror
[01:57.05]But it really did was
[01:58.11]Let the police terrorize whoever
[01:59.8]But mostly black boys
[02:01.36]But they would call us "niggers"
[02:02.85]And lay us on our belly
[02:04.1]While they fingers on they triggers
[02:05.66]They boots was on our head
[02:07.1]They dogs was on our crotches
[02:08.54]And they would beat us up
[02:09.86]If we had diamonds on our watches
[02:11.54]And they would take
[02:12.48]Our drugs and money
[02:13.29]As they pick our pockets
[02:14.41]I guess that that's the
[02:15.42]Privilege of policing for some profit
[02:17.17]But thanks to Reaganomics
[02:18.48]Prisons turned to profits
[02:19.97]Cause free labor is the
[02:21.1]Cornerstone of US economics
[02:23.08]Cause slavery was abolished
[02:24.28]Unless you are in prison
[02:25.7]You think I am bullshitting
[02:26.95999]Then read the 13th Amendment
[02:28.72]Involuntary servitude
[02:29.95999]And slavery it prohibits
[02:31.39]That's why they giving drug
[02:32.65]Offenders time in double digits
[02:34.45999]Ronald Reagan was an actor
[02:35.65]Not at all a factor
[02:37.15]Just an employee of the
[02:38.58]Country's real masters
[02:40.02]Just like the Bushes
[02:41.41]Clinton and Obama
[02:42.72]Just another talking head
[02:43.91]Telling lies on teleprompters
[02:45.66]If you don't believe the theory
[02:47.16]Then argue with this logic
[02:48.6]Why did Reagan and Obama
[02:49.85]Both go after Qaddafi
[02:51.41]We invaded sovereign soil
[02:52.78]Going after oil
[02:54.22]Taking countries is a hobby
[02:55.66]Paid for by the oil lobby
[02:57.22]Same as in Iraq and Afghanistan
[02:59.91]And Ahmadinejad say
[03:01.53]They coming for Iran
[03:02.91]They only love the rich
[03:04.28]And how they loathe the poor
[03:05.73]If I say any more they
[03:07.35]Might be at my door
[03:08.66]Who the f**k is that
[03:10.1]Staring in my window
[03:11.41]Doing that surveillance
[03:12.78]On Mister Michael Render
[03:14.22]I'm dropping off the grid
[03:15.66]Before they pump the lead
[03:17.1]I leave you with four words:
[03:18.6]I'm glad Reagan dead
