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