Lyrics
Times is hard baby
Expressing the difficulty of the current times.
Ain’t got no job lately
Conveying a lack of employment recently.
Government stealing from me
Accusing the government of theft or corruption.
Billions and Millions oh shit
Highlighting the vast sums of money involved.
Who got my back tell me
Pleading for support or loyalty from someone.
Who taking chances on me
Questioning who is willing to take risks for the speaker.
I guess it gotta be me
Accepting personal responsibility for one's situation.
I gotta lead me
Acknowledging the need to guide oneself.
To the land of Milk and Honey that was promised
Desiring to reach a promised land of prosperity.
Politicians, there are Christians
Criticizing politicians, possibly implying hypocrisy.
Playing the hero acting innocent
Accusing politicians of pretending to be heroes.
We know who the true villains is
Identifying true villains and pointing fingers.
Black suit in a black Benz we know who you is
Referring to a person in a black suit and a black Benz as someone known.
Only show up when you need your votes up
Criticizing politicians for selective appearances during elections.
Your kids in the States
Noting the privileged situation of politicians' children abroad.
While you sit in your place
Highlighting the contrast between the speaker's and politicians' lives.
Let the City go to waste
Suggesting negligence in city management by politicians.
Then show up at Church on Sunday
Criticizing politicians for attending church despite their actions.
Times is hard baby
Repeating the expression of hardship in the current times.
Ain’t got no job lately
Reiterating a recent lack of employment.
Government stealing from me
Repeating the accusation of government corruption or theft.
Billions and Millions oh shit
Reiterating the mention of significant amounts of money involved.
Who got my back tell me
Asking for support or loyalty, echoing line 5.
Who taking chances on me
Reiterating the question of who is willing to take risks for the speaker.
I guess it gotta be me
Reiterating the acceptance of personal responsibility.
I gotta lead me
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the need to guide oneself.
To the land of Milk and Honey that was promised
Reiterating the desire to reach a promised land of prosperity.
