Once upon a time in the of plenty The land of lawyers, and money A funny little we all call greed Brought my hometown down to its
A little bit worried 'bout the I'm in Baby needs shoes and the wallet's Got no gas or But everybody's in harmony
me up, sell 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 my seat at the corner bar
No block party, everybody's No street lights, no liquids I got no on my credit card And I'm three court dates from the prison
My credit score's fallen the New York Mets There ain't a debt that ain't called yet They say, "Money don't talk, it swears" And got me in my underwear
Sell me up, me down I be sold out sittin' here 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 at the corner bar
Once upon a time in The politicians went and fell outta There was a raping of the man And us sittin' here without no plan
through bills like Michael Phelps Down and out and get no help The kids are hungry, peepin' Poodles Pickin' through dumpsters for Ramen
Standin' in line with a family to Tradin' for Indian beads It's been a long time since we good Got everybody waitin' on Robin
Sell me up, me down I be sold out here 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
upon a time in America The politicians and fell outta love was a raping of the common man And us sittin' here without 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 at the corner bar
