[00:00:12] You know I was in New York City a few months ago

[00:00:16] And the garbage and the trash men were on strike

[00:00:18] I'm tellin' the maintenance people of the city

[00:00:21] What they were tryin' to do was

[00:00:22] They were tryin' to get a little more money

[00:00:23] You know get a little raise in pay

[00:00:26] But at that particular time the city was broke

[00:00:29] They were about to declare default

[00:00:32] I tell you the garbage in some places

[00:00:34] Was stacked up two three stories high

[00:00:37] At night haha boy at night it weren't even safe to walk the street

[00:00:40] 'Cause they caught the rats the roaches and the water bugs

[00:00:44] I mean they were hustlin' baby tryin' to get somethin' to eat see

[00:00:48] And let met tell you somethin' it was stinkin'

[00:00:49] And it was all kind of diseases in there you know

[00:00:54] But it only brought to mind the fact that

[00:00:56] You can no longer depend on the man downtown

[00:00:58] To take care of business like he's supposed to
