Once upon a time in the land of The land of lawyers, guns and A funny little thing we all call Brought my down to its knees
A bit worried 'bout the shape I'm in Baby shoes and the wallet's thin Got no gas or But everybody's in harmony
Sell me up, sell me I be sold out sittin' hangin' around my house, take my car But you can't take my seat at the bar my crib, take my car But I'm my seat at the corner bar
No block party, everybody's No lights, no runnin' liquids I got no room on my credit And I'm three court from the prison yard
My credit score's fallen like the New York There ain't a debt collector that called yet say, "Money don't talk, it only swears" And got me in my underwear
Sell me up, sell me I be out sittin' here hangin' around my house, take my car But you can't my seat at the corner bar my crib, take my car But I'm my seat at the corner bar
Once upon a in America The politicians went and fell outta There was a raping of the man And left us sittin' here without no
Swimmin' bills like Michael Phelps Down and out and get no help The are hungry, peepin' French Poodles Pickin' dumpsters for Ramen noodles
Standin' in line with a family to Tradin' Manhattan for Indian been a long time since we felt good Got everybody waitin' on Hood
Sell me up, me down I be out sittin' here hangin' around my house, take my car But you can't take my seat at the bar Take my crib, my car But I'm keepin' my seat at the bar
upon a time in America The politicians went and fell love was a raping of the common man And left us sittin' here no plan
Sell me up, me down I be sold out sittin' hangin' around Take my house, my car But you can't take my at the corner bar Take my crib, my car But I'm keepin' my seat at the bar
