Once upon a time in the land of The of lawyers, guns and money A little thing we all call greed my hometown down to its knees
A little bit 'bout the shape I'm in Baby needs shoes and the thin Got no gas or But everybody's singin' in
Sell me up, me down I be sold out sittin' here hangin' my house, take my car But you can't my seat at the corner bar my crib, take my car But I'm my seat at the corner bar
No block party, evicted No lights, no runnin' liquids I got no room on my credit And I'm three court from the prison yard
My score's fallen like the New York Mets There ain't a debt collector that called yet They say, "Money talk, it only swears" And got me in my underwear
me up, sell me down I be sold out sittin' here hangin' Take my house, my car But you can't take my seat at the bar my crib, take my car But I'm my seat at the corner bar
upon a time in America The politicians went and fell outta was a raping of the common man And us sittin' here without no plan
Swimmin' through bills like Michael Down and out and get no help The kids are hungry, peepin' French Pickin' through dumpsters for noodles
Standin' in line with a family to Tradin' for Indian beads It's been a long time we felt good Got everybody on Robin Hood
Sell me up, sell me I be sold out sittin' here hangin' my house, take my car But you can't my seat at the corner bar Take my crib, my car But I'm keepin' my at the corner bar
upon a time in America The politicians and fell outta love There was a raping of the man And left us here without no plan
Sell me up, me down I be sold out sittin' here hangin' Take my house, my car But you can't my seat at the corner bar Take my crib, my car But I'm keepin' my at the corner bar
