My Vote Don't Count

Enough Electoral Vote. More than 270 More than enough to become the 44th President of the United States He will be the first African-American President of the United States Uh, I've been broke all my life But I kept hope all them nice You see business in my city Yeah they closed all them twice I was just riding down seeing all them pot holes I can't drive I know y'all can fix it faster But I know y'all won't try Nobody care about us And that's why I won't vote Voted for Obama back in 2012 I remember that's when I had hope He was saying, Yes, we can And everybody got less food stamps And when I turn 21 I was still broke God, I'll never vote again I don't think I ever had a president made my life better Did it all on my own, ain't no politician ever do a nice gesture I don't even know the mayor name I ain't ever seen one time ever Tell me how she gonna help the city What I suppose to do, write letters? What I suppose to do, blame Trump? He ain't never really give a uh Ain't nobody raise minimum wage None of these jobs pay enough I think they just wanna keep us broke Cause they ain't put none a place for us This how all my people feel But we gotta learn, we can complain enough Let me change it up Everything I just said, everybody I know think the same way See, they don't wanna see us vote And we never do so we see the same thing But all our votes really do count And they never really let it show Now I'm finna break it down Cause if I don't you would probably never know Fist thing first, you know back in middle school When they taught us, it was three branches of government? We forgot it when we got older It's the Judicial, the Legislative, and the Executive But all we know is the Executive That's the mayor, or governor, and the president Now none of them three people make no laws, they just be checking 'em The laws come to they desk and all they do is say, No, or Yes to it So when the news station tell us that Barrack Obama couldn't put us on We was all salty at Obama when it was the Congress members all along We gotta focus on the Legislative Branch; yeah they the ones that make the Laws Yeah they the ones that write how Much food stamps money you get on the card But when people that wanted to help us wanted the job I know they probably lost Cause we ain't even know they name We ain't know they face, we ain't know it all So the Congress or the State House That's the Legislative branch, they make Laws So what we want from the President is what they do, okay y'all? See they election every two years but we don't ever even go to those The Congress they could raise minimum Wage but we ain't even really know it thou So you know how back in '08, when we all voted for Obama We was all supposed to go back in 2010 and voted for the Congress Cause they the ones that make child support laws They the ones choose if your kids At school get to eat steak or corn dog The state house makes the courthouse So if the country fail you can't say it's them its your fault Cause ya ain't know to know to vote For Congress members that was for y'all And they don't gotta leave at the four year and we just let 'em sit They don't want to tell you this They want you to focus on the President Now the third branch is the Judicial, that's judges They the reason why John Crawford and Trayvon had justice So when Meek Mill got locked up just For popping wheelies we blam the judges And not the city, when they let her get voted in Cause they don't know who to vote against Imagine life on the other side; roles better, schools better Everybody get they license back, grocery store food better Custody of your kids back, homeless people get new shelters If we gonna fix the US, we gotta start with them two letters Me and you Somebody told us that the government want to keep us broke But the only reason why those people In the government is 'cause we ain't vote And I ain't talking about the President I'm talking about the ones we ain't know See they was gonna try keep it low But it's gonna hurt 'em when they see them polls Every time you stay one someone is making a decision about you Making about decision about the air you breath, the water you drink The food your kids eat And how much money you bring home very twice weeks So every time you seat out an election Every time you don't show up because you think it doesn't matter Someone else is happy that you didn't show up So they can make that decision for you, Vote
