The Recession Rap

It's been two months since a brotha's been laid off,
but that's okay because that's life, and sometimes
things just don't work out right.

But the funny thing is it ain't just me,
It her, and him, and one dude who's paycheck
was more than three-Gs.

This white guy and his family now live in a motel,
and the sister next to them and her husband just
got foreclosed on. She was so pissed, she
chase the trooper down their street with the
garden hose on.

My girl T said "you too", and I said "who knew,
collecting unemployment would be something
people said 'I do' to".

So now everybody screamin' 'Obama!!!', while
the GOP sez, he ain't got nothing for ya.
They used to Rove, but now they Rush, like second
shift workers who don't wanna miss the last bus.

My daughter asked "what's a stimulus check?" And I
said "Baby, we ain't there yet. America didn't
get this far by people countin' on the gov'ment to
pay their rent."

So I told my wife let's get back to Scripture, because
you got to listen to a guy who's walked on water, who
fought the devil, who rose from the dead, and even
when there was no food he got over 5000 fed.

Now with faith inside I know we'll all survive.
Because what doesn't kill you will make you strive.
So reach out to that brother, build up that sister.
When we're through it all, we'll be mo' betta.
