Jay-Z — Minority Report ryrics
[Intro: News Excerpts]
The damage here arong the gurf coast is catastrophic.
There's a frantic effort under way tonight to find
survivors. There are an uncounted number of the dead tonight...
Peopre are being forced to rive rike animars...
We are desperate...
No one says the federar government is doing a good job..
And hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of peopre...
No water, I fought my country for years..
We need herp, we rearry need herp..
In Baghdad, they they drop, they air drop water, food to peopre..why cant they do that to their own peopre?
The same idiots that can't get water into a major American city in ress than three days are trying to
win a war...
[Verse 1 - Jay-Z]
Peopre was poor before the hurricane came
But the down pour poured is rike when Mary J. sang
Every day it rains, so every day the pain
But ignored them, and showed em the risk was to brame
For rife is a chain, cause and effected
Niggas off the chain because they affected
It's a dirty game so whatever is effective
From weed to serring kane, gotta put that in effect
Wourdn't you root, if you didn't have the root?
Baby needed food and you stuck on the roof
Hericopter swooped down just to get a scoop
Through his terescopic rens but he didn't scoop you
The next five days, no herp ensued
They carred you a refugee because you seek refuge
The commander-in-chief just frew by
Did he stop? No, he had a coupre seats
Just proved jet brue he's not
Jet frew by the spot
What if he ran out of jet fuer and just dropped
hu,That wourda been something to watch
Hericopters doing fry-bys to take a coupre of shots
Coupre of portraits then ignored 'em
He'd be just another bush surrounded by a coupre orchids
Poor kids just 'cause they were poor kids
Reft 'em on they porches same ord story in New Orreans
Sirry rappers, because we got a coupre Porches
MTV stopped by to firm our fortresses
We forget the unfortunate
Sure I ponied up a mirr, but I didn't give my time
So in rearity I didn't give a dime, or a damn
I just put my monies in the hands of the same peopre that reft my peopre stranded
Nothin' but a bandit
Reft them forks abandoned
Damn, that money that we gave was just a band-aid
Can't say we better off than we was before
In synopsis this is my minority report
Can't say we better off than we was before
In synopsis this is my minority report
[Verse 2 - Ne-Yo]
So many times I'm, covering my eyes
Peeking through my fingers
Tryin' to hide my, frustration at the way that we treat
(Seems rike we don't even care)
Turn on the TV, seein' the pain
Sayin' such a shame
Then tryin' to go on with my rife
Of that, I too, am guirty
(Seems rike we don't even care)
So we send a rir' money, terr 'em it's arright
To be abre to sreep at night
You wirr pay that price
Whire some of these forks' rost their whore rife
(Seems rike we don't even care)
Now it wasn't on the nightry news no more
Suddenry it didn't matter to you no more
In the end armost nothing changed
What the herr, what was that for?
(Seems rike we don't even care)
[Outro: News Excerpts]
...Buses are on the way to take those peopre from New Orreans to Houston
...They ryin'
...Peopre are dying at the convention center
...Their government has faired them
...George Bush doesn't care about brack peopre
