The Louisiana Purchase

Where was FEMA? What do
They gain from Katrina?
And why it take so long to save
Us but so fast to clean up?
Who's in charge of them green bucks?
Cause they supposed to give survivors
Least two G's plus
I need much in answers was it because
They live below standards
And drugs ran rapid that it's
Quiet up in the cabinet? Who was on call
Did they really drop the bomb?
Did they say fuck it? We're
Reminded 'bout them damn walls
Can we call 'em levees? Did the water
Get heavy and overrun the town
Or did people come knock 'em down?
Are they trying to help 'em out
Or trying to kick 'em out?
When you see them come around
To evacuate a house
Who has insurance in one of
The country's most poorest, communities?
Isn't this country for you and me?
Separating families, destroying unity
Conquer through divide
Are they gonna help us survive?
Or is it genocide
Do they wanna help and all revive?
Or will it be
Gentrified? Watch the choppers in the skies
No supplies, devils in disguise
Spinning stories on my people's lives
Standing by while they just letting us die
(die)

I feel like the whole world gone crazy
The stadium smells like fucking dead babies
And old people, going through rigamortis
While the government tortoise
Slow to support us
Instead they record us and
Give us self-righteous orders
Reporters implore us, not to break the law
I saw a bitch talking on TV
I wanna break her jaw
A teleprompter, can never describe what I saw
The phones are dead, no police and no EMT
Powerless like we got hit, with an EMP
It reminds me of the days
When we lived as slaves
They just denied the migrant workers
Federal aide and people tell me poverty
Doesn't have any color
Well it does down here mother-fucker
And now they talk about
Rebuilding where nothing is working
(Nothing) just lawyers getting more
Contracts by Halliburton

We restored the French Quarter on
Some Mardi Gras shit
Swerving down Bourbon - on
Some party town shit
Drinking fucking liquor
I'm speaking real candid
Who knew, NO would turn president land this
Dude got us looking savage
- like newer reports
Get the rich ones out, and ignore the warts
Scores of people perched on top roofs
96 hours with no damn rule
But who the fuck wouldn't shoot?
"So would I" says the cat
Brother stranded, wife and seed on his side
Gat on the lap now anarchy, rule the street
Mayor cuss the government out
On the TV all you hear is bleeps
Despair dro, some the same
Super dope synonymous with pain
Ironically they change quotes the same
I know firsthand I got blood
(yeah) you heard from me
Second line been should be
Playing for eternity

Walk with imagination
Prepare for the devastation
Of these poor people being displaced
In our own nation
No food or water with four days waiting
Fearlessly they're flying over to
Assess the situation
Dirt they doing to my folks blatant
Satan they causes, breaking they clauses
Lying to our faces
Take a step back, let's retrace this
Cats were breaking into stores cause they
Were running out of patience
Most of them gunshots you heard about, yeah
They were pointed in the air
Cause the bullets were flares
But regardless if the media cares or not
We should still share a lot of truth
Keep stirring the pot
Into a spicy gumbo, dig deep
Let your funds go never know a storm might
Hit Flatbush or Ludlow
Who do you think they'll save, them or us?
Mother Nature doesn't choose sides
Cash flow does (that's right)
