Jay Electronica feat. Tone Tresure - The Levees Broke Lyrics

Lyrics The Levees Broke - The-Dream , Jay-Z



I was on the corner with reem by tipitinas
He said "ri, what up my nig, i aint see ya since katrina"
Lil mikey doin time for flashin nines in pasadena
I tried to tell em chill and wait til niggas get they cream up
I aint gunna lie bra, niggas took that petty cash from fema
And copped a couple choppers why? cuz coppers on the clean up
You aint know? they hittin niggas left and right with bids
On the news i seen a family of a grandma and some kids
They tore down where she lived for sixty years and told her here goes
A voucher for some powdered milk and cleanex for your tears
You seen them tents outside of city hall? thats where they live
A trailer in the park a cardboard box under the bridge
They closed down all the projects
And all these wicked contractors cant see us makin profit *
Insurance companies fucked us up the ass nobody stopped it
Thats why im yellin fuck the world everytime i let my glock spit
My nigga, we aint got shit
I spent the night in jail three times just cuz i lost my id
I went to pastor raphael who said "son, thou shalt not kill"
And i said "why me"
He told me god gon try me
And when i left the church i heard the flashin lights and sirens
They said "let me see some id"
I said "yea sure ill oblige thee, here sir thats my passport"
They threw me on the gate i said "man why you go do that for?"
They said "cuz you the son of slaves your daddy was a bast-ard"
I couldnt take no more jay click clat sprrat blast blast thats what they asked for
We laughed he said "yea bra, you feel what niggas come from, its good to see your face again,
Tell me what elijah said bout how he came from space again?"
