KRS-One - Mr. Percy songtekst

Je score:

(feat. Triune)



[Chorus: KRS-One & Triune]

Have mercy Mr. Percy

4 million people out of work, right now

Can't find a cent to pay my rent

Half of the youth population out of work, right now

Give me another day

Homelessness risin' upon families

So I can try to find my way

Word up! Homelessness



[KRS-One & Triune:]

And I work

Several resumés on E-Mail

And I work

CD's I'm sellin' my beats

And I work

Part time at the retail

And I work

I'm just about to be in the street

And I work

The car that I'm drivin' around

And I work

Will I ever be on my feet again?



[?]

We tellin' 'em this now



[KRS-One:]

Frankly, I don't see how

You can't see how you really, homeless now

When the emergency hits, who really holds you down?

When the sheriff's at your door, ready to throw you down

With the state of the economy and the way that it is

Many men are at the door with their wife and their kids, saying



[Chorus: KRS-One & Triune]

Have mercy Mr. Percy

4 million people out of work, right now

Can't find a cent to pay my rent

Half of the youth population out of work, right now

Give me another day

Homelessness risin' upon families

So I can try to find my way



And I work

Tried drive taxi cab

And I work

Enrolled in a technical school

And I work

My friends, my family for a loan

And I work

Dollar caps and car pools

And I work

Just another day now

And I work

I'm gettin' paid now



[?]

We tellin' 'em this now



[KRS-One:]

Everywhere across the nation

More people are joining the homeless population

From the south, to the north, to the west, to the east

People can't pay their mortgage or their lease

And last but not least

You better hear what I'm saying

So many men are at the door with their kids saying



Have mercy Mr. Percy

Can't find a cent to pay my rent

[?]

Give me another day

4 million people out of work right now, you gotta do something!

So I can try to find my way

[?]



[KRS-One:]

We're on the brink of revolution

You let it get to hot

So many people tryin' to hang on, and just cannot

They must have forgot

Last night's news spot

Read like a news murder plot

Starring who got shot

And very little upliftin'

Just who got knocked?

Very little givin'

Everybody's heart is locked

And they call this a civilization?

Where I can't even find work, with proper employment qualifications

Hip-Hop is the name of my nation

Where everyday is Saturday and 12 months is vacation

Peace, love, unity, havin' fun

You can tell by now, I'm not the average one



[Triune:]

Get choked for the dope here

Get stabbed for the stash

My X is brash

I rap for grabbin' the cash

They search for the blackless faces

So no need checkin' your [?] or applications

[?]

How the fuck I make thirty grand a year

With dudes holding a masters degree

It makes no sense, so I make no sense

Using my mind

[?]

There's a war going on outside, no man is safe from

I'm Tri-Uno, some call me the great one

Until Bush meet people in my community

I'm hustling for [?...] till I get an opportunity



Have mercy Mr. Percy

Can't find a cent to pay my rent

Give me another day

So I can try to find my way
