Power and the money, money and the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybody's runnin, but half of them ain't lookin
What's goin on in the kitchen,
but I dont know what's cookin
Tell me why are we, so blind to see
That the ones we hurt, are you and me
Been spending most our lives
living in the Gangsta's Paradise
PUSH BACK
Let us never forget that we are dealing with the same government
