emcee lynx - bailout freestyle lyrics

[verse 1] what does it mean to be a man
where i am
where i come from
understand my place in this world
it’s a conundrum
a gordion knot
a minotaurs maze
an ape in the lab
a rat in a cage
they’ve stolen our habitat
trained us how to act
like poison plastic particles stored in your body fat
so where my scholars at, holla back if ya feel me
the situation we live in is filthy
there’s poison in the water, poison in the air
poison in the food
we’re taught not to care
shut our eyes tight, pretend it’s not there
like it’s unpatriotic to say it’s not fair
we get a raw deal, ‘s i keep this raw feel
why i’m on the mic day and night with raw sk!ll
spittin’ nonfiction, this is all real
if we leave it to the feds they gon’ get us all k!lled

[hook] they externalize the costs, socialize the risk
privatize the profits, give ‘em to the rich
crush all the movements, leave us powerless
see capital’s the cancer it’s time to make a switch
they externalize the costs, socialize the risk
privatize the profits, give ‘em to the rich
wouldn’t know a free market if it spit in their faces
want it tightly controlled to keep us all in our places

[verse 2] tell me, why’s a civilization, so uncivilized
it doesn’t have to be, but it is, i’ve realized
it’s not technology, it’s the social system
life, liberty, and happiness are all the victims
of politricks that don’t give a d-mn about truth
use propaganda to deceive the youth
from the cradle to the grave
we live and die as slaves
the rich get richer and the pigs get paid
even got us trained so we chain ourselves
trade the pursuit of happiness for the pursuit of wealth
an impossible dream, an illusion at best
an impractical scheme, a nation obsessed
with bigger, better, stronger, never get enough
as we drown our fears, buying useless stuff
enoughs enough y’all, it’s time to stand
for human dignity, the rights of man
[hook]
they externalize the costs, socialize the risk
privatize the profits, give ‘em to the rich
crush all the movements, leave us powerless
see capital’s the cancer it’s time to make a switch
they externalize the costs, socialize the risk
privatize the profits, give ‘em to the rich
wouldn’t know a free market if it spit in their faces
want it tightly controlled to keep us all in our places
[verse 3]
if you’re broke and you’re starvin’ no one’s bailing you out
if your job gets downsized, no one’s bailing you out
over 3 million homeless, no one’s bailing them out
billionaires in trouble, oh we gon’ bail them out
ecosysytems collapsing, no one’s bailing them out
the middle cl-ss is disappearing, no one’s bailing them out
our schools are embarr-ssing, can’t you bail them out
they’d rather spend it all on war and givin’ banks a handout
i wanna grab your attention, hold it for a second
smash the barriers of fear and pretention
understand we’re all in the same boat and it’s sinkin’ fast
if we wanna stay afloat we gotta bail ourselves out by working together
that starts with the belief that this world can be better
listen, humans are imperfect, you can’t change that
that’s the why this system doesn’t work this may seem a strange fact
but politicians are always gonna act like politicians
their parties and their platforms are irrelevant listen
they prost-tute the people to improve their positions
and when ya vote for them you’re just giving them permission
we don’t need them, we can self organize
stop expecting the impossible it’s time to realize
we are the ones that we’ve been waiting for
and we don’t need them or they’re lies anymore
[hook]
they externalize the costs, socialize the risk
privatize the profits, give ‘em to the rich
crush all the movements, leave us powerless
see capital’s the cancer it’s time to make a switch
they externalize the costs, socialize the risk
privatize the profits, give ‘em to the rich
wouldn’t know a free market if it spit in their faces
want it tightly controlled to keep us all in our places
