lyrics:My people was poorBefore the hurricane cameBefore the downpour pouredIt's like when Mary J. sangEveryday it rainsSo everyday the painWent ignored and I'm sureIgnorance was to blameBut life is a chainCause and affectedNi**as off the chainBecause they affectedIt's a dirty gameSo whatever is effectiveFrom weed to selling 'caneGotta put that in effect, sh*tWouldn't you lootIf you didn't have the lootAnd your baby needed foodAnd you were stuck on the roofAnd the helicopters swoop downJust get a scoopThrough his telescopic lensBut he didn't scoop youAnd the next 5 daysNo help ensuedThey called you a refugeeCause you seek refugeAnd the Commander in ChiefJust flew byDidn't stopThough he had a couple of seatsJust rude, Jet Blue he is notJet blew by the spotBut if he ran outta jet fuelAnd just dropped, huhThat would've been something to watchHelicopters doin' fly-bysTo take a couple of shotsCouple of portraits then ignored 'emHe'd be just another BushSurrounded by a couple of orchidsPoor kids just cause they was poor kidsLeft 'em on their porchesSame ol' story in New OrleansSilly rappers cause we got a couple of PorschesAnd MTV stop by to film our fortressesWe forget the unfortunateSure I ponied up a millBut I didn't give my timeSo in reality I didn't give a dimeOr a damnI just put my monies in handsOf the same peopleThat left my people strandedNothing but a banditLeft them folks abandonedDamn, that money that we gaveWas just a Band-AidCan't say that we was better offThen we was beforeIn synopsisThis is my minority reportSo many times I'm covering my eyesPeeking through my fingers trying to hide myFrustrationSeems like we don't even careSo we send a lil moneyTell 'em it's alrightTo be able to sleep at nightYou would pay that priceWhile somebody's just lostTheir whole damn lifeSeems like we don't even careWhen it wasn't on the nightly news no moreSuddenly it didn't matter to you no moreThey went in and almost nothing changedSeems like we don't even careWhat the hell were they there forSeems like we don't even carein my opinion... anyone that takes the time to do something like this obviously shows they care.... can you see dip set doing some shit like this? thadal b the daybig ups to jayz
And the Commander in Chief
