Hey Auntie, why do they want our votes
Politricks, politricks
In school I learned about We the people
But the State separates from the church and the steeple
America one voice, and one land,
But they twist the words, divide where we stand
Poli-tricks playin' games, like us v. them
Dividing everyone into Reps and Dems
Elections bring out the wolves on the hunt
And sheeple fall for every trick and stunt
They feed us lies, make us choose a side
But the power they hold is to make us divide
We're caught in the trap, they don't want us to see
We're pawns in this game and we ain't really free
Gang bangers rep colors, they throw up their signs
But politicians are more dangerous with the laws they design
They don't throw hands, just laws and bills
Lockin' up brothers, that's how they kill
Red's War on drugs, the hood paid the price
Blue's Three strikes rule, destroyed more black lives
Now they fight in the House, like turf on the street
But it's all a game, and we're still in defeat
Broken families, both sides are to blame
With Red and Blue playin' the same dirty game
They rep their colors the like gang signs of old
But the prisons they fill is the story untold
They want our votes, but they play us for fools
Tell us they'll change things, but still use the same rules
Black voices scream, but they turn a blind eye
A system of lies just watching us die. (politricks)
They want our votes, but they play us for fools
Tell us they'll change things, but still use the same rules
Black voices scream, but they turn a blind eye
A system of lies just watching us die
Poly means many tricks usually for kids
Dems tricks for Dixie Repubs trick for wigs
We got two parties, dance floors, lights and smoke machines
Hide behind Great
Not going back like time machines
Beat to Satans pattern like shared drum machines
Is the vote so close we're like human voting machines
When I hear right from left why do I feel like I'm punched
Wobbling like a drunk sandwiched like I'm lunch
Being consumed by a system that pushes picking the lesser
If my lesser is the aggressor, I'll have to be the coalessor
Or rally around the one who needs to be impeached
Or stranded on the island with sharks guarding the beach
Going back is not bad unless it fixes moving ahead
Unless the reason that you said is because of something that you said
The only great I want is the great I am right now
And if I have him now, I'll Love like him right now
They want our votes, but they play us for fools
Tell us they'll change things, but still use the same rules
Black voices scream, but they turn a blind eye
A system of lies just watching us die
They want our votes, but they play us for fools
Tell us they'll change things, but still use the same rules
Black voices scream, but they turn a blind eye
A system of lies just watching us die
We know the hustle, we see through the lies
Don't need fake leaders who won't even try
They left the hood for dead, but we're still alive
Time for self-rule, time to thrive
Stop lookin' for change in their empty hands
They don't know the struggle, they don't understand
Let's govern ourselves, stand up for our own
No more blind allegiance with no meat on their bone
No real policies, just tricks on the street
Take what they want, leave us crumbs to eat
While we fly in circles, never breakin' free
They got the nerve to preach UNITY
They want our votes, but they play us for fools
Tell us they'll change things, but still use the same rules
Black voices scream, but they turn a blind eye
A system of lies just watching us die
They want our votes, but they play us for fools
Tell us they'll change things, but still use the same rules
Black voices scream, but they turn a blind eye
A system of lies just watching us die.
Hey Auntie, Wait I thought tricks were for kids
That's politricks
Politricks
Yeah, politricks politricks politricks
