While the Fed isn't forecasting a recession yet

Plenty of other forecasters are and it would hurt

No one's whispering about the R word anymore

Now they just come right out and say it

The US economy will slip into a recession this year

I think they think they government has failed them


[Intro]

Yeah, man, what do I think about the gas?

I didn't know gas was gonna be a bill!

People out here hurtin man, ??????????? he ain't got nuttin yet, man I make 12 dollars an hour. gas is $3.79, $4.29 after that how ima pay my, how take care my kids after that

(YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHH!!!!)

I think the richer get richer and the poorer get poorer and ain't nobody givin a damn about what we think! we need somebody to come and help us!! we need somebody ????????


[Verse 1]

I said the drought got a nigga drunk

I'm still tryna sober up

Wish I had me some money I buy me some better luck

Might buy me a bigger truck, buy me some mo time

Ain't nobody got it now need to find me a new gri grind

Hey got a 9 left, just know I'mma grind that til I ain't got a dime left

Speaking of dime left, now I ain't got a nine left

Had to pay up my bills now I ain't got a dime left


[Hook]

It's a recession everybody broke

So I just came back to give everybody hope

Just looking out for my folk given the whole nine

Yeah you ain't got it now so you keep the whole nine

(Repeat)


[Verse 2]

God bless america never been to Colombia

So I'mma need one a ya get da word to Colombia

That if need be I get the work to Columbia

That's South Carolina just pay my driver

They say young won't you make it rain, bitch is you insane

Went about once a month and them numbers be insane in the membrane

Got me wracking my damn brain, want me just damn caine

I'm going through a damn thang, hey


[Hook]


[Verse 3]

We tolerate either or money or white squares

War really going but tell me who really cares

My auntie on section 8, then why ain't her credit straight

See you payin all of that, which means she ain't neva late

She said I'm always on time like Ashanti and Ja Rule

And just tell us anything what we look like some damn fools

Her son got a cells charge and he never comin home

Imagine the phone bill cause he always calling home

This shit is ridiculous unacceptable

I hope its acceptable if I don't be respectable

Just know I'm in grind mode like a real nigga spose to

Stay down maintain like a real nigga spose to heeey


[Hook]
