The government and private sector Shut Down entire entities at will.
Lyrics
(Larry Coleman) Verse One The Government will shutdown, the televisions shutdown Where will that leave us Sundays without a touchdown? Standing on the side of the road without a bus now Working hard in shitty conditions without a fuss, ouch Let me tell you what it’s like to be back in the game I’m feeling dominant again just like I’m Shaq in the paint I’m bringing everything positive that’s lacked in the game And being challenged by a new rapper is a slap in the face Obama care, “Obama cares” when it comes to our health Corporate lobbyists will keep us sick by spending their wealth Mass appeal to those in poverty to keep us in check; Larry Coleman Freedom Fighting sent to keep us in check The who what why and where, I am the stop scholar With all of Europe’s problems their currency tops dollars Nothing gets beneath my skin quite like when they trick the poor It’s hard for me to swallow “raw, I chewed it up and gave em “war” It’s hard for me to calm down, relax and not do shit about it When Russia’s had healthcare since 37’ ain’t no doubt about it It’s time we get aboard the ship, country number 70 Of course I was never worried, I was only 17 Now I play the game to win, I take responsibility Stop deducting from our checks, when money pays utilities Shutdown all the prison yards, hospitals and schools today Larry & Minister paving roads and changing lanes
