Wall Street, Pay Your Taxes: The Music Video

LYRICS:

Early in the morning

I rise up in the street

We quit smokin' cigarettes

To have shoes on our feet

We all know the reason

The reason things went wrong

Yeah we all know the reason

Why our money's all gone

They robbed my generation

No one can get by

So listen to our protest

'Fore we mothafuckin' riot

(guitar solo)

Life is too short, we need what we don't got

'Cause we tryin to get over, but there's no good jobs

Workin' part-time but I ain't gettin no rest

Had to come in here so I could get it off my chest

Take a small example

A tip from me

Pay your tax money, don't deduct from charity-dee-dee

It's what you dodge

And you dodge a lot

The taxes that you dodge cost schools and jobs

We'll keep fightin' til we get what we deserve

Try and test that

You bound to get served

Pay what you dodged

It's not that hard

You'll feel us when the streets get hot, hot

CHORUS

Wall Street,

Pay your taxes

Don't censor that

Wall Street,

Pay your taxes

Don't censor that

I don't cry when my dog runs away

I don't get angry at the bills I have to pay

But I get angry at the high rent cost

Or if I ever get laid off from the boss

Bankers, robbers

They're all the same

They don't pay their taxes

'Cause they all rigged the game

Let some of that tax money come back to me

Wall Street,

Pay your taxes

Don't censor that

Wall Street,

Pay Your taxes

Don't censor that

(REPEAT)
