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 woman, 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, 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
Hah, 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 about 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 amen
35
God save these streets
36
One dollar per every human being
37
Feel that Katrina clap
38
See that Katrina clap
39
God save these streets
40
Quit being cheap, nigga, freedom ain't free
41
Feel that Katrina clap
42

49
Soul survivor
50
It's Dollar Day in New Orleans
51
It's water, water everywhere and babies dead in the streets
52
It's enough to make you holler out
53
Like where the fuck is Sir Bono and his famous friends now
54
Don't get it twisted man, I dig U2
55
But if you ain't about the ghetto then fuck you too
56
Who care about rock '' roll when babies can't eat food
57
Listen homie man, that shit ain't cool
58
It's like Dollar Day for New Orleans
59
It's water, water everywhere and homies dead in the streets
60
And Mr. President's a natural ass
61
He out treatin niggas worse than they treat the trash
62
God save these streets
63
One dollar per every human being
64
Feel that Katrina Clap

Lord did not intend for the wicked to rule the world
77
Say God did not intend for the wicked to rule the world

Before they wicked ruling is through
