The Louisiana Purchase
Akir

n[Akir]nYo, uhhnWhere was FEMA? What do they gain from Katrina?nAnd why it take so long to save us but so fast to clean up?nWho's in charge of them green bucks?nCause they supposed to give survivors least two G's plusnI need much in answers; was it because, they live below standardsnand drugs ran rapid that it's quiet up in the cabinet?nWho was on call, did they really drop the bomb?nDid they say {fuck} it? We're reminded 'bout them damn wallsnCan we call 'em levies? Did the water get heavy and overrun the townnor did people come knock 'em down?nAre they tryna help 'em out or tryna kick 'em out?nWhen you see them come around to evacuate a housenWho has insurance in one of the country's most poorest, communities?nIsn't this country for you and me?nSeparatin families, destroyin unity, conquer through dividenAre they gonna help us survive?nOr is it genocide, do they wanna help and all revive?nOr will it be, gentrified? Watch the choppers in the skiesnNo supplies, devils in disguise, spinnin stories on my people's livesnStandin by while they just lettin us die (die)nn[Immortal Technique]nI feel like the whole world gone crazynThe stadium smells like {fuckin} dead babiesnAnd old people, goin through rigamortisnWhile the government tortoise, slow to support usnInstead they record us and give us self-righteous ordersnReporters implore us, not to break the lawnI saw a {bitch} talkin on TV, I wanna break her jawnA teleprompter, can never describe what I sawnThe phones are dead, no police and no E.M.T.nPowerless like we got hit, with an E.M.P.nIt reminds me of the days when we lived as slavesnThey just denied the migrant workers, federal aidenAnd people tell me poverty, doesn't have any colornWell it does down here mother-{fucker}nAnd now they talk about, rebuildin where nothin is workin (nothin!)nJust lawyers gettin more contracts by Halliburtonnn[Poison Pen]nWe restored the fresh corner on some Mardi Gras {shit}nSwervin down Bourbon - on some party town {shit}nDrinkin {fuckin} liquor, I'm speakin real candidnWho knew, N.O. would turn president land thisndude got us lookin savage - like newer reportsnGet the rich ones out the tellies, and ignored the wartsnScores of people perched on top roofsn96 hours with no damn rule, but who the {fuck} wouldn't shoot?nSo would I says the catnBrother stranded, wife and seed on his side, {gat} on the lapnNow anarchy, rule the streetnMayor cuss the government out, on the TV all you hear is bleepsnDespair dro, some the samenSuper dope synonymous with pain, ironically they change quotes the samenI know firsthand I got blood (yeah) you heard from menSecond line been should be playin for eternitynn[Mojo]nWalk with imagination, prepare for the devastationnof these poor people bein displaced in our own nationnNo food or water with four days waitinnFearlessly they're flyin over to assess the situationnDirt they doin to my folks blatantnSatan they causes, breakin they clauses, lyin to our facesnTake a step back, let's retrace thisnCats were breakin into stores cause they were runnin out of patiencenMost of them gunshots you heard about, yeahnThey were pointed in the air cause the bullets were flaresnBut regardless if the media cares or notnWe should still share a lot of truth, keep stirrin the potninto a spicy gumbo, dig deep, let your funds gonNever know a storm might hit Flatbush or LudlownWho do you think they'll save, them or us?nMother Nature doesn't choose sides, cash flow does (that's right)nn{*music and sirens fade out*}n
