Slow down Huey you're killing em

[fingertrouble]

One of my favourite songs from one of my favourite rappers Sage Francis vs my current favourite cartoon - The Boondocks (Huey is my hero!), it seems appropriate to post this today with midterm elections in the US, with lines like:

Making you think you're crazy is a billion dollar industry.
If they could sell sanity in a bottle
They'd be charging for compressed air,
And marketing healthcare.
They demonize welfare,
Middle class eliminated,
Rich get richer til the poor get educated.

But some of y'all still haven’t grown into your face,
And your face doesn't quite match your head.
And I'm waiting for a brain to fill the dead space that's left,
You're all, "Give me ethnicity or give me dreads."*
Trustafundian rebel without a cause for alarm,
Cause when push turns to shove
You jump into your forefathers arms.
He's a banker, you're part of the system,
Off go the dreadlocks in comes the income.
The briefcase (the freebase)
The sickness (the symptom)
When the cameras start rollin' stay the fuck outta the picture pilgrim!*

One love, one life, one too many victims.
Republicrat, Democran, one party system.*
Media goes in a frenzy,
They're stripped of their credentials.
Presidential candidates can't debate over this instrumental.

Who's the one to blame for this strain in my vocal chords?
Who can pen a hateful threat but can't hold a sword?
It's the same who complain about the global war,
But can't overthrow the local joker that they voted for.

* these lines were running around my head today, hence this post....
