Once upon a time in the land of The land of lawyers, guns and A funny little we all call greed my hometown down to its knees
A bit worried 'bout the shape I'm in Baby needs shoes and the wallet's Got no gas or But singin' in harmony
me up, sell me down I be sold out here hangin' around Take my house, my car But you take my seat at the corner bar Take my crib, my car But I'm my seat at the corner bar
No block party, everybody's No lights, no runnin' liquids I got no room on my card And I'm three court dates the prison yard
My credit score's fallen like the New York There a debt collector that ain't called yet They say, "Money don't talk, it swears" And got me in my underwear
Sell me up, me down I be sold out sittin' here around Take my house, my car But you can't take my seat at the bar Take my crib, my car But I'm keepin' my seat at the bar
Once upon a in America The politicians went and outta love There was a raping of the man And left us sittin' without no plan
Swimmin' through bills Michael Phelps Down and out and get no help The kids are hungry, French Poodles Pickin' through dumpsters for noodles
Standin' in line with a family to Tradin' for Indian beads It's been a long since we felt good Got everybody waitin' on Hood
me up, sell me down I be sold out sittin' hangin' around my house, take my car But you can't take my at the corner bar my crib, take my car But I'm keepin' my seat at the bar
upon a time in America The politicians went and fell outta There was a raping of the man And left us sittin' without no plan
me up, sell me down I be sold out sittin' hangin' around my house, take my car But you take my seat at the corner bar Take my crib, my car But I'm keepin' my at the corner bar
