Generate meaning
1
So there's a story about the lady in Louisiana
2
She's a flood survivor and the rescue teams
3
They come through, and they, I guess trying to recover people
4
And they see this women she's wading through the streets
5
I guess it'd been some time after the storm
6
And I guess they were shocked that you know she was alive
7
And rescue worker said, "So, oh my God h-how did you survive
8
How did you do it? Where've you been?"
9
And she said, "Where I been? Where you been?"
10
Where you been? You understand?
11
That's about the size of it
12
This for the streets, the streets everywhere
13
The streets affected by the storm called, America
14
I'm doing this for y'all, and for me, for the Creator
15
God save, these streets
16
One dollar per every human being
17
Feel that Katrina clap
18
See that Katrina clap
19
Listen, homie, it's Dollar Day in New Orleans
20
It's water water everywhere and people dead in the streets
21
And Mr. President he bout that cash
22
He got a policy for handling the niggas and trash
23
And if you poor you black
24
I laugh a laugh they won't give when you ask
25
You better off on crack
26
Dead or in jail, or with a gun in Iraq
27
And it's as simple as that
28
No opinion my man it's mathematical fact
29
Listen, a million poor since 2004
30
And they got -illions and killions to waste on the war
31
And make you question what the taxes is for
32
Or the cost to reinforce, the broke levee wall
33
Tell the boss, he shouldn't be the boss anymore
34
Y'all pray amin
35
God save, these streets
36
One dollar per every human being
37
Feel that Katrina clap

53

54

But if you ain't about the ghetto then fuck you too
56
Who care bout rock ' roll when babies can't eat food
57
Listen homie man that shit ain't cool
