American Greed

When George Bush took the oil from the soil
 I was in front of the counter buying some milk from the Arabs
 In the land of honey I order fries from Chinese surviving off of what's in the foil
 Gallon of gas, 2% is the same price
 So it seems to the villain goes the spoil
 It's cheap fuel, fried rice to my brother man
 Cheap fuel, pipelines from the motherland
 It's all the same, right?
 On the other hand supply and demand could fill the corners off a late night
 It's that suffering bestowed upon us by that great white
 Not Columbus but Colombians
 Cause ain't no coca leaves growing in the District
 Of Columbia, so the rut we in
 Got to be the best example of some pimp shit
 Hit the strip, nigga, get that money and bring it back to daddy
 Our forefathers been giving us the shaft
 Back lash of a whip, to them whips like the back of Caddies
 But we don't give a fuck cause we gettin cash, exactly
 This is everything you want, it's everything you need
 This is good old fashioned American greed
 See we get it how we get it and we spend it how we spend it
 Cause it's good old fashioned American greed
 I want that dollar, but when I got it it's not enough
 Fucking forget it, you think I'm quittin, you out of luck
 Cause I'm addicted to picket fences and getting profit
 Fuck penny pinching and pissy pensions amount to what?
 Never stoppin killin myself to make a living
 Make it, I spend it, they lend it, I take it, they print it, I fake it
 Them laws invented by those who break 'em, I bend 'em
 I'm painted as heinous by hypocrites who feel offended
 Blue collar due to the stains from the blood of royals
 Freedom rang, freedom rang but it didn't holler
 Hard knocking at opportunity's door for life
 Cause you can only reach the buzzer if you is a scholar
 Higher learning, higher earning at the same time
 The fire burning in the ghetto is about to boil... in the celebrated plot
 I got everything I need but but I want everything you got
