Reagan Lyrics - R.a.p. Music - Killer Mike

Our government has a firm policy not to capitulate to terrorist demands. That no-concessions policy remains in force, despite the wildly speculative and false stories about arms for hostages and alleged ransom payments, we did not, repeat, did not trade weapons or anything else for hostages, nor will we 

The ballot or the bullet 

, some freedom or some bullshit 

Will we ever do it big, or keep just settling for little shit 

We brag on having bread, but none of us are bakers 

We all talk having greens, but none of us own acres 

If none of us on acres, and none of us grow wheat 

Then who will feed our people when our people need to eat 

So it seems our people starve from lack of understanding 

Cos all we seem to give them is some balling and some dancing 

And some talking about our car and imaginary mansions 

We should be indited for bullshit we inciting 

Hand the children death and pretend that its exciting 

We are advertisements for agony and pain 

We exploit the youth, we tell them to join a gang 

We tell them dope stories, introduce them to the game 

Just like Oliver North introduced us to cocaine 

In the 80s when the bricks came on military planes 

A few months ago I told the american people I did not trade arms for hostages. My heart and my best intentions still tell me that's true, but the facts and the evidence tell me it is not 

The end of the Reagan Era, I'm like number twelver 

Old enough to understand the shit'll change forever 

They declared the war on drugs like a war on terror 

But it really did was let the police terrorize whoever 

But mostly black boys 

, but they would call us "niggers" 

And lay us on our belly, while they fingers on they triggers 

They boots was on our head, they dogs was on our crotches 

And they would beat us up if we had diamonds on our watches 

And they would take our drugs and money, as they pick our pockets 

I guess that that's the privilege of policing for some profit 

But thanks to Reaganomics, prisons turned to profits 

Cos free labor is the cornerstone of US economics 

Cos slavery was abolished, unless you are in prison 

You think I am bullshitting, then read the 13th Amendment 

Involuntary servitude and slavery it prohibits 

That's why they giving drug offenders time in double digits 

Ronald Reagan was an actor, not at all a factor 

Just an employee of the country's real masters 

Just like the Bushes, Clinton and Obama 

Just another talking head telling lies on teleprompters 

If you don't believe the theory, then argue with this logic 

Why did Reagan and Obama both go after Qaddafi 

We invaded sovereign soil, going after oil 

Taking countries is a hobby paid for by the oil lobby 

Same as in Iraq, and Afghanistan 

And Ahmadinejad say they coming for Iran 

They only love the rich, and how they loathe the poor 

If I say any more they might be at my door 

Who the fuck is that staring in my window 

Doing that surveillance on 

Mister Michael Render 

I'm dropping off the grid before they pump the lead 

I leave you with four words: I'm glad Reagan dead
