Bambu - A Dollar [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Sample]
Well I don't know, if I'm walking on solid ground
Cause everything around me is crumbling down
And all I want is for someone to help me

[Hook] {x2}
I need a dollar bill, a dollar bill is what I need
Gimmie that money
Gimmie that money

[Verse One]
The Obama promise that change is coming late
California state unemployment rate got daddy running in place
The change that wouldn't fill a homeless man's cup up
Foreclosure on a home got Americans fucked up
So what to do now?
Tea Party screaming and the Bush Administration wipe their hands clean Leaving that debt
And war budget's on Barack's black hands
George W. is laughing from his Texas land ranch
And smack dab in the center of it all is the fall
Of the gentrified homes of your mama and pa
Cause we done blew a whole wad on electing Barack
And now his feet up, complacent we just trusting 'em all
No question
So we gon' need a dollar and dream just to pay the school tuition
Car payments for the dean
Huh
Socialism hella scares y'all
But that's the only way to balance all I'm trying to tell y'all

[Hook]

[Verse Two]
Make money, spend money, lose money
It's fishy that big banks and presidents are chummy
Funny, that the term health insurance exists
Insuring cars, insuring health makes no sense
The basic needs of a people shouldn't ask to have it
And it shouldn't be determined by a man's tax bracket
Life has no price but the dollars to white
If the dollars stack high, you gon' have a long life
But, let you be that sucker with minimum wage
You gon' die from a flu while they living with AIDS
Pay big bucks for a pill just to breath straight
Might as well cover your house in yellow police tape
It's a crime scene, just to be a working class man
Complimented back hands, eating food out of a can
Immigrants land, hoping just for pieces of a pie
And turn to crime when they realize that dream is a lie
Because...

[Hook]
