Once a time in the land of plenty The land of lawyers, and money A funny little thing we all call Brought my hometown down to its
A little bit worried the shape I'm in Baby needs shoes and the wallet's Got no gas or But everybody's singin' in
Sell me up, sell me 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 from the prison yard
My credit score's fallen like the New York There ain't a debt that ain't called yet They say, "Money don't talk, it swears" And got me in my underwear
me up, sell me down I be out sittin' here hangin' 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 at the corner bar
Once upon a time in The politicians went and fell outta was a raping of the common man And left us sittin' without no plan
Swimmin' through bills like Phelps and out and can't get no help The are hungry, peepin' French Poodles Pickin' dumpsters for Ramen noodles
Standin' in line with a family to Tradin' Manhattan for beads been a long time since we felt good Got everybody waitin' on Robin
Sell me up, sell me I be sold out sittin' hangin' around my house, take my car But you take my seat at the corner bar my crib, take my car But I'm my seat at the corner bar
Once upon a in America The politicians went and fell outta 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 Take my house, my car But you can't take my seat at the bar my crib, take my car But I'm keepin' my at the corner bar
