No Place

No place in the city, shut off from the suburbs
Way outta this world, what’s being unearthed
Diggin’ our own graves while doin’ dirt to the planet
So Florida’s underwater, I’m sure DeSantis will manage
You throwin’ parties in mansions while my people are famished
Goin’ to war with a goddamn mouse
Even if you win you still lose
And 45’s such a genius—what great options to choose
So many fall for the ruse
Subterfuge no longer from the shadows
Anacostia and Appalachia fightin’ the same battles
Elites set poor against poor and frame it in color
But it was your ancestors from Ulster that raped our Great grandmothers
So it ain’t an issue of how we look
But the healthcare we both need that the rich will say they took
As the thieves take your money and call us crooks.
