Financial Leprosy - The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy[00:00:00]
Financial Leprosy[00:00:28]
We got to get up[00:00:30]
And wait in line[00:00:31]
For the soup toilets[00:00:32]
And things to read[00:00:34]
Fill out 11-0-1's[00:00:35]
And take a seat[00:00:36]
But then we got to[00:00:37]
Find a place to sleep[00:00:38]
We got to lay down[00:00:40]
Upon newspaper cardboard[00:00:41]
Concrete and plastic sheets[00:00:43]
Effects of "Eighties" public policy[00:00:45]
We used to buy[00:00:47]
Full shopping carts[00:00:48]
And buy useless products[00:00:49]
Trained to drain[00:00:51]
Not to remain[00:00:52]
Red line economy[00:00:53]
"I have a dream"'s reality[00:00:55]
Self effacing and mirror hating[00:00:58]
The ethnic notions and potions[00:01:00]
But I still smell bad[00:01:03]
Skin fader and tanning booths[00:01:08]
In conjunction with their plastic boobs[00:01:10]
And diet pills[00:01:12]
ALL MEANS TO ATTRACT AND DISTRACT[00:01:17]
ALL MEANS TO ATTRACT AND DISTRACT[00:01:20]
ALL MEANS TO ATTRACT AND DISTRACT[00:01:22]
ALL MEANS TO ATTRACT AND DISTRACT[00:01:24]
Designer glasses to se designer clothes[00:01:27]
Designer cologne to wave under a designer drug nose[00:01:32]
That sniffs through the perfume scented[00:01:37]
Magazines[00:01:39]
Try to make sense out of dollars[00:01:41]
Often heard of rarely seen[00:01:43]
As an ear listens to the dial phone[00:01:46]
That I know I can't afford[00:01:51]
Well I used to own this street[00:01:53]
Now I'm living on Market Street[00:01:55]
Self effacing and mirror hating[00:02:01]
The ethnic notions and potions[00:02:03]
But I still smell bad[00:02:05]
Skin fader and tanning booths[00:02:11]
In conjunction with their plastic boobs[00:02:13]
And diet pills[00:02:15]
ALL MEANS TO ATTRACT AND DISTRACT[00:02:20]
ALL MEANS TO ATTRACT AND DISTRACT[00:02:23]
ALL MEANS TO ATTRACT AND DISTRACT[00:02:25]
ALL MEANS TO ATTRACT AND DISTRACT[00:02:27]
Thieves generating revenues[00:02:58]
Lottery poverty tax[00:03:00]
Druglords and[00:03:01]
Landlords[00:03:03]
And "praise the lords"[00:03:04]
They prey upon us[00:03:06]
How did they ever[00:03:08]
Manufacture consent[00:03:09]
A meal in every trashcan[00:03:10]
Myth of the "Happy Hobo"[00:03:11]
COINTELPRO The Cosby Show[00:03:13]
Why did the they cut the Pell[00:03:18]
Grant so they can build cells[00:03:19]
Ten years in prison[00:03:21]
But no tenure at the University[00:03:22]
IS this ethnic diversity [00:03:25]
Or is it public policy[00:03:28]
Chemical bullets[00:03:33]
Aimed at the Afro-Diaspora[00:03:37]
A genocidal ghost[00:03:43]
Manipulates a suicidal host[00:03:46]
And as high technology[00:03:53]
Eliminates the need for manual labor[00:03:55]
Mercedes-Benz logos replace peace signs[00:04:03]
On the necks of our youth[00:04:06]
Self effacing and mirror hating[00:04:12]
The ethnic notions and potions[00:04:14]
But I still smell bad[00:04:16]
Skin fader and tanning booths[00:04:22]
In conjunction with their plastic boobs[00:04:24]
And diet pills[00:04:26]
ALL MEANS TO ATTRACT AND DISTRACT[00:04:31]
