lyrics

Yo this goes out to those real gangstas
Those pseudo-institutional gangstas
Gangstas like Fannie May and Freddy Mack, yo
Hold up! Stop what you’re tryin’ to do
You’re takin’ all our homes 4x
Mortgage lending, IRS sending
Notification of your whole life ending
Like that yo was out there fending
For your life like you was depending
On a miracle. Stop pretending
We ain’t got no cash for spending
They’ve been snatchin’ our land for years
Leavin’ footsteps and Trails of Tears
(Chorus)
Declaration of our separation
I want legal emancipation
From a dysfunctional relation
It’s been causin’ me mad frustration
So I kick yo ass to the curb
And I move right, right on, right on
How could anybody be like that
You been hurtin’ people tryin’ to hold ‘em back
And runnin’ game for far too long
Now you could say it’s on, right on, right on
Hold Up - Stop what you’re doin’
We all want peace but I’ll put two in ‘em
Own Up - You know you had it comin’
The people got together and y’all went runnin’ away
And I don’t ever wanna see your face again
I wanna live in peace without you, friend
I wanna get back to livin’ more respectfully toward this land
And get redemption for behaviors
It breaks my heart to say had no concern for you
You think that I should owe you
This system that controls you
I pray for love to know you
But I don’t really think you’ll change 2x
I bet some would give you prison
If they had a clue what it is you really do
I bet some could forgive
But you know that we’ll never forget ya
Hold Up - Stop what you’re doin’
We all want peace but I’ll put two in ‘em
Own Up - You know you had it comin’
The people got together and y’all went runnin’ away
You know it’s bout time you went runnin’ away 8x
