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