(feat. Triune)
2
[Chorus: KRS-One & Triune]
3
Have mercy Mr. Percy
4
4 million people out of work, right now
5
Can't find a cent to pay my rent
6
Half of the youth population out of work, right now
7
Give me another day
8
Homelessness risin' upon families
9
So I can try to find my way
10
Word up! Homelessness
11
[KRS-One & Triune:]
12
And I work
13
Several resum?s on E-Mail
14
And I work
15
CD's I'm sellin' my beats
16
And I work
17
Part time at the retail
18
And I work
19
I'm just about to be in the street
20
And I work
21
The car that I'm drivin' around
22
And I work
23
Will I ever be on my feet again?
24
[?]
25
We tellin' 'em this now
26
[KRS-One:]
27
Frankly, I don't see how
28
You can't see how you really, homeless now
29
When the emergency hits, who really holds you down?
30
When the sheriff's at your door, ready to throw you down
31
With the state of the economy and the way that it is
32
Many men are at the door with their wife and their kids, saying
33
[Chorus: KRS-One & Triune]
34
Have mercy Mr. Percy
35
4 million people out of work, right now
36
Can't find a cent to pay my rent
37
Half of the youth population out of work, right now
38
Give me another day
39
Homelessness risin' upon families
40
So I can try to find my way
41
And I work
42
Tried drive taxi cab
43
And I work
44
Enrolled in a technical school
45
And I work
46
My friends, my family for a loan
47
And I work
48
Dollar caps and car pools
49
And I work
50
Just another day now
51
And I work
52
I'm gettin' paid now
53
[?]
54
We tellin' 'em this now
55
[KRS-One:]
56
Everywhere across the nation
57
More people are joining the homeless population
58
From the south, to the north, to the west, to the east
59
People can't pay their mortgage or their lease
60
And last but not least
61
You better hear what I'm saying
62
So many men are at the door with their kids saying
63
Have mercy Mr. Percy
64
Can't find a cent to pay my rent
65
[?]
66
Give me another day
67
4 million people out of work right now, you gotta do something!
68
So I can try to find my way

[KRS-One:]
71
We're on the brink of revolution
72
You let it get to hot
73
So many people tryin' to hang on, and just cannot
74
They must have forgot
75
Last night's news spot
76
Read like a news murder plot
77
Starring who got shot
78
And very little upliftin'
79
Just who got knocked?
80
Very little givin'
81
Everybody's heart is locked
82
And they call this a civilization?
83
Where I can't even find work, with proper employment qualifications
84
Hip-Hop is the name of my nation
85
Where everyday is Saturday and 12 months is vacation
86
Peace, love, unity, havin' fun
87
You can tell by now, I'm not the average one
88
[Triune:]
89
Get choked for the dope here
90
Get stabbed for the stash
91
My X is brash
92
I rap for grabbin' the cash
93
They search for the blackless faces
94
So no need checkin' your [?] or applications
95
[?]
96
How the fuck I make thirty grand a year
97
With dudes holding a masters degree
98
It makes no sense, so I make no sense
99
Using my mind
100
[?]
101
There's a war going on outside, no man is safe from
102
I'm Tri-Uno, some call me the great one
103
Until Bush meet people in my community
104
I'm hustling for [?...] till I get an opportunity
105
Have mercy Mr. Percy
106
Can't find a cent to pay my rent
107
Give me another day
108
So I can try to find my way
