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