So there's a story about[00:00:00]
The lady in Louisiana[00:00:01]
She's a flood survivor[00:00:04]
And the rescue teams[00:00:06]
They come through[00:00:08]
And they[00:00:09]
I guess tryna recover people[00:00:11]
And they see this women[00:00:13]
She's wadin through the streets[00:00:14]
I guess it'd been[00:00:17]
Some time after the storm[00:00:18]
And I guess they were shocked[00:00:21]
That you know she was alive[00:00:23]
And rescue worker said[00:00:26]
So oh my God h-how[00:00:27]
Did you survive[00:00:29]
How did you do it[00:00:31]
Where've you been[00:00:32]
And she said[00:00:33]
Where I been[00:00:34]
Where you been[00:00:35]
Hah Where you been[00:00:38]

You better off on crack[00:01:27]
Dead or in jail[00:01:29]
Or with a gun in Iraq[00:01:30]
And it's as simple as that[00:01:34]
No opinion my man[00:01:35]

Listen a million poor since 2004[00:01:38]
And they got -illions and[00:01:41]
Killions to waste on the war[00:01:42]
And make you question[00:01:44]
What the taxes is for[00:01:45]
Or the cost to reinforce[00:01:47]
The broke levee wall[00:01:48]
Tell the boss[00:01:50]
