《Financial Leprosy》歌词

[00:00:00] Financial Leprosy - The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy

[00:00:28] Financial Leprosy

[00:00:30] We got to get up

[00:00:31] And wait in line

[00:00:32] For the soup toilets

[00:00:34] And things to read

[00:00:35] Fill out 11-0-1's

[00:00:36] And take a seat

[00:00:37] But then we got to

[00:00:38] Find a place to sleep

[00:00:40] We got to lay down

[00:00:41] Upon newspaper cardboard

[00:00:43] Concrete and plastic sheets

[00:00:45] Effects of "Eighties" public policy

[00:00:47] We used to buy

[00:00:48] Full shopping carts

[00:00:49] And buy useless products

[00:00:51] Trained to drain

[00:00:52] Not to remain

[00:00:53] Red line economy

[00:00:55] "I have a dream"'s reality

[00:00:58] Self effacing and mirror hating

[00:01:00] The ethnic notions and potions

[00:01:03] But I still smell bad

[00:01:08] Skin fader and tanning booths

[00:01:10] In conjunction with their plastic boobs

[00:01:12] And diet pills

[00:01:17] ALL MEANS TO ATTRACT AND DISTRACT

[00:01:20] ALL MEANS TO ATTRACT AND DISTRACT

[00:01:22] ALL MEANS TO ATTRACT AND DISTRACT

[00:01:24] ALL MEANS TO ATTRACT AND DISTRACT

[00:01:27] Designer glasses to se designer clothes

[00:01:32] Designer cologne to wave under a designer drug nose

[00:01:37] That sniffs through the perfume scented

[00:01:39] Magazines

[00:01:41] Try to make sense out of dollars

[00:01:43] Often heard of rarely seen

[00:01:46] As an ear listens to the dial phone

[00:01:51] That I know I can't afford

[00:01:53] Well I used to own this street

[00:01:55] Now I'm living on Market Street

[00:02:01] Self effacing and mirror hating

[00:02:03] The ethnic notions and potions

[00:02:05] But I still smell bad

[00:02:11] Skin fader and tanning booths

[00:02:13] In conjunction with their plastic boobs

[00:02:15] And diet pills

[00:02:20] ALL MEANS TO ATTRACT AND DISTRACT

[00:02:23] ALL MEANS TO ATTRACT AND DISTRACT

[00:02:25] ALL MEANS TO ATTRACT AND DISTRACT

[00:02:27] ALL MEANS TO ATTRACT AND DISTRACT

[00:02:58] Thieves generating revenues

[00:03:00] Lottery poverty tax

[00:03:01] Druglords and

[00:03:03] Landlords

[00:03:04] And "praise the lords"

[00:03:06] They prey upon us

[00:03:08] How did they ever

[00:03:09] Manufacture consent

[00:03:10] A meal in every trashcan

[00:03:11] Myth of the "Happy Hobo"

[00:03:13] COINTELPRO The Cosby Show

[00:03:18] Why did the they cut the Pell

[00:03:19] Grant so they can build cells

[00:03:21] Ten years in prison

[00:03:22] But no tenure at the University

[00:03:25] IS this ethnic diversity

[00:03:28] Or is it public policy

[00:03:33] Chemical bullets

[00:03:37] Aimed at the Afro-Diaspora

[00:03:43] A genocidal ghost

[00:03:46] Manipulates a suicidal host

[00:03:53] And as high technology

[00:03:55] Eliminates the need for manual labor

[00:04:03] Mercedes-Benz logos replace peace signs

[00:04:06] On the necks of our youth

[00:04:12] Self effacing and mirror hating

[00:04:14] The ethnic notions and potions

[00:04:16] But I still smell bad

[00:04:22] Skin fader and tanning booths

[00:04:24] In conjunction with their plastic boobs

[00:04:26] And diet pills

[00:04:31] ALL MEANS TO ATTRACT AND DISTRACT

[00:04:33] ALL MEANS TO ATTRACT AND DISTRACT

[00:04:36] ALL MEANS TO ATTRACT AND DISTRACT

[00:04:38] ALL MEANS TO ATTRACT AND DISTRACT
