Reagan Lyrics

[Ronald Reagan:]
Our government has a firm policy not to capitulate to
terrorist demands. That no-concessions policy remains
in force, despite the wildly speculative and false
stories about arms for hostages and alleged ransom
payments, we did not, repeat, did not trade weapons or
anything else for hostages, nor will we

[Killer Mike:]
The ballot or the bullet, some freedom or some bullshit
Will we ever do it big, or keep just settling for
little shit
We brag on having bread, but none of us are bakers
We all talk having greens, but none of us own acres
If none of us on acres, and none of us grow wheat
Then who will feed our people when our people need to
eat
So it seems our people starve from lack of
understanding
Cause all we seem to give them is some balling and some
dancing
And some talking about our car and imaginary mansions
We should be indicted for bullshit we inciting
Hella children deaf and pretending it's exciting
We are advertisements for agony and pain
We exploit the youth, we tell them to join a gang
We tell them dope stories, introduce them to the game
Just like Oliver North introduced us to cocaine
In the 80s when the bricks came on military planes

[Ronald Reagan:]
A few months ago I told the american people I did not
trade arms for hostages. My heart and my best
intentions still tell me that's true, but the facts and
the evidence tell me it is not

[Killer Mike:]
The end of the Reagan Era, I'm like number twelver
Old enough to understand the shit'll change forever
They declared the war on drugs like a war on terror But it really did was let the police terrorize whoever
But mostly black boys, but they would call us "niggers"
And lay us on our belly, while they fingers on they
triggers
They boots was on our head, they dogs was on our
crotches
And they would beat us up if we had diamonds on our
watches
And they would take our drugs and money, as they pick
our pockets
I guess that that's the privilege of policing for some
profit
But thanks to Reaganomics, prisons turned to profits
Cause free labor is the cornerstone of US economics
Cause slavery was abolished, unless you are in prison
You think I am bullshitting, then read the 13th
Amendment
Involuntary servitude and slavery it prohibits
That's why they giving drug offenders time in double
digits
Ronald Reagan was an actor, not at all a factor
Just an employee of the country's real masters
Just like the Bushes, Clinton and Obama
Just another talking head telling lies on teleprompters
If you don't believe the theory, then argue with this
logic
Why did Reagan and Obama both go after Qaddafi
We invaded sovereign soil, going after oil
Taking countries is a hobby paid for by the oil lobby
Same as in Iraq, and Afghanistan
And Ahmadinejad say they coming for Iran
They only love the rich, and how they loathe the poor
If I say any more they might be at my door
Who the f*ck is that staring in my window
Doing that surveillance on Mister Michael Render
I'm dropping off the grid before they pump the lead
I leave you with four words: I'm glad Reagan dead
