Hurricane Pt2: (My verse)

Kinda funny to think what we drink was killing people/

guess you could call it, unecessary evil/

Homes that we live in are just as feeble/

as the bodies we live in/

Add class 5 storms in, and it's rippin people's lives apart/

while Condelissa Rice was shoppin for new shoes/

Cheney was fly fishing, Man, what's up with this dude?/

I could choose to use, other poets thoughts, 'bout them peoples on the roofs/

outkast spoke the truth/

"I'll be got damnit, they done changed the rules"/

So Here's the Scoop/

convention center won't be the same

in my lifetime/

If the NOLA ain't fine/

People were dying/

tryin, ta Swim over cars/

contaminated Water flooded corradors/
giving people sores, with outbreaks like Sars/

Prez in SanDiego playin air guitar/

Guess we'd have faired better off by far/

if we wuz living abroad/
U.S. don't stand for us/
though the money says "In God we Trust"/
Tsunami help only took 2 damn days/

What happened to our brothers w/the right Mindframe?/

helpin' New York face it's weakened state/

my people was cookin' Gumbo for em' that next day/

for this, day 5, people got guns waved in they face/

couldn't go to JP, that's right there off the causeway/

we ain't gon' take that lyin' down/

people gettin shot like it wasn't they side of town/

Prez flew overhead but never touched the ground

Never came around/

that's too little too late man/

We gotta do it for ourselves

This is OUR STate Man/

and that is my statement/

Still!!!/

and That's the tripple truth Ruth For Realz....
