Minority report - Jay-z[00:00:02]
The damage here along the gulf coast is catastrophic [00:00:15]
There's a frantic effort under way tonight to find[00:00:17]
Survivors There are an uncounted number of the dead tonight [00:00:21]
People are being forced to live like animals [00:00:25]
We are desperate [00:00:28]
No one says the federal government is doing a good job [00:00:32]
And hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people [00:00:37]
No water I fought my country for years [00:00:39]
We need help we really need help [00:00:43]
In Baghdad they they drop they air drop water food to people [00:00:46]
Why can't they do that to their own people [00:00:49]
The same idiots that can't get water into a major American city[00:00:52]
In less than three days are trying to[00:00:57]
Win a war [00:00:59]
People was poor before the hurricane came[00:01:00]
But the down pour poured is like when Mary J sang[00:01:02]
Every day it rains so every day the pain[00:01:05]
But ignored them and showed em the risk was to blame[00:01:08]
For life is a chain cause and effected[00:01:11]
Niggas off the chain because they affected[00:01:13]
It's a dirty game so whatever is effective[00:01:16]
From weed to selling kane gotta put that in effect[00:01:19]
Wouldn't you loot if you didn't have the loot [00:01:23]
Baby needed food and you stuck on the roof[00:01:25]
Helicopter swooped down just to get a scoop[00:01:28]
Through his telescopic lens but he didn't scoop you[00:01:32]
The next five days no help ensued[00:01:35]
They called you a refugee because you seek refuge[00:01:37]
The commander-in-chief just flew by[00:01:40]
Did he stop No he had a couple seats[00:01:43]
Just proved jet blue he's not[00:01:45]
Jet flew by the spot[00:01:47]
What if he ran out of jet fuel and just dropped[00:01:49]
Hu That woulda been something to watch[00:01:52]
Helicopters doing fly-bys to take a couple of shots[00:01:55]
Couple of portraits then ignored 'em[00:01:58]
He'd be just another bush surrounded by a couple orchids[00:02:00]
Poor kids just 'cause they were poor kids[00:02:04]
Left 'em on they porches same old story in New Orleans[00:02:06]
Silly rappers because we got a couple Porches[00:02:10]
MTV stopped by to film our fortresses[00:02:13]
We forget the unfortunate[00:02:16]
Sure I ponied up a mill but I didn't give my time[00:02:18]
So in reality I didn't give a dime or a damn[00:02:21]
I just put my monies in the hands of the same people[00:02:25]
That left my people stranded[00:02:28]
Nothin' but a bandit[00:02:30]
Left them folks abandoned[00:02:31]
Damn that money that we gave was just a band-aid[00:02:33]
Can't say we better off than we was before[00:02:37]
In synopsis this is my minority report[00:02:39]
Can't say we better off than we was before[00:02:41]
In synopsis this is my minority report[00:02:44]
So many times I'm covering my eyes[00:02:48]
Peeking through my fingers[00:02:50]
Tryin' to hide my frustration at the way that we treat[00:02:52]
(Seems like we don't even care)[00:02:57]
Turn on the TV seein' the pain[00:03:00]
Sayin' such a shame[00:03:03]
Then tryin' to go on with my life[00:03:04]
Of that I too am guilty[00:03:06]
(Seems like we don't even care)[00:03:09]
So we send a lil' money tell 'em it's alright[00:03:11]
To be able to sleep at night[00:03:14]
You will pay that price[00:03:16]
While some of these folks' lost their whole life[00:03:18]
(Seems like we don't even care)[00:03:21]
Now it wasn't on the nightly news no more[00:03:23]
Suddenly it didn't matter to you no more[00:03:26]
In the end almost nothing changed[00:03:28]
What the hell what was that for [00:03:31]
(Seems like we don't even care)[00:03:34]
Buses are on the way to take those people from New Orleans to Houston[00:03:37]
They lyin'[00:03:41]
People are dying at the convention center[00:03:42]
Their government has failed them[00:03:45]
George Bush doesn't care about black people[00:03:46]
