Jay-Z - Minority report

Tekst :

[Intro: News Excerpts]
The damage here along the gulf coast is catastrophic.
There s a frantic effort under way tonight to find
survivors. There are an uncounted number of the dead tonight...
People are being forced to live like animals...
We are desperate...
No one says the federal government is doing a good job..
And hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people...
No water, I fought my country for years..
We need help, we really need help..

do that to their own people?

three days are trying to
win a war...

[Verse 1 - Jay-Z]
People was poor before the hurricane came
But the down pour poured is like when Mary J. sang
Every day it rains, so every day the pain
But ignored them, and showed em the risk was to blame
For life is a chain, cause and effected
Niggas off the chain because they affected
It s a dirty game so whatever is effective
From weed to selling kane, gotta put that in effect
Wouldn t you loot, if you didn t have the loot?
Baby needed food and you stuck on the roof
Helicopter swooped down just to get a scoop
Through his telescopic lens but he didn t scoop you
The next five days, no help ensued
They called you a refugee because you seek refuge
The commander-in-chief just flew by
Did he stop? No, he had a couple seats
Just proved jet blue he s not
Jet flew by the spot
What if he ran out of jet fuel and just dropped
hu,That woulda been something to watch
Helicopters doing fly-bys to take a couple of shots
Couple of portraits then ignored em
He d be just another bush surrounded by a couple orchids
Poor kids just cause they were poor kids
Left em on they porches same old story in New Orleans
Silly rappers, because we got a couple Porches
MTV stopped by to film our fortresses
We forget the unfortunate
Sure I ponied up a mill, but I didn t give my time
So in reality I didn t give a dime, or a damn

stranded
Nothin but a bandit
Left them folks abandoned
Damn, that money that we gave was just a band-aid
Can t say we better off than we was before
In synopsis this is my minority report
Can t say we better off than we was before
In synopsis this is my minority report

[Verse 2 - Ne-Yo]
So many times I m, covering my eyes
Peeking through my fingers
Tryin to hide my, frustration at the way that we treat
(Seems like we don t even care)
Turn on the TV, seein the pain
Sayin such a shame
Then tryin to go on with my life
Of that, I too, am guilty
(Seems like we don t even care)
So we send a lil money, tell em it s alright
To be able to sleep at night
You will pay that price
While some of these folks lost their whole life
(Seems like we don t even care)
Now it wasn t on the nightly news no more
Suddenly it didn t matter to you no more
In the end almost nothing changed
What the hell, what was that for?
(Seems like we don t even care)

[Outro: News Excerpts]
...Buses are on the way to take those people from New Orleans to Houston
...They lyin
...People are dying at the convention center
...Their government has failed them
...George Bush doesn t care about black people

    Whole town laughing

    The truth about it baby, if it were me I would ve done the same thing.
    If it was me that caught you cheatin in the streets.
    If it was me that caught you creepin two or three times, I cried.
    The truth about it baby, you was the sweetest,...

    The way

    Forging the future from the timeless stone
    Oh let me know how far I can go
    Answering the questions that no one ever asks
    Float through the sea of madness
    And face the everlasting task

    So lonely to wander
    So sad to be alone
    In the mist of the unknown
    Trying to fool myself with dreams that never...

    The voice within

    Hey my dear old friend, do you remember me?
    You seem very sad, anything I can do?
    You tried to run away but you cannot hide from me
    There somewhere inside coming right back at you

    There like a sudden impulse don t persist let it out
    You cannot fight...

    Lecą anioły, lecą demony

    Lecą anioły, lecą demony, gdy zamkniesz oczy usłyszysz ich głos
    Jeden ci daje raj upragniony, drugi przewrotność, kłamstwo i stos

    Każdy musi wybrać sam komu dusze oddać chce
    Czy na Ziemi chce mieć raj, czy po życiu trafić tam

    Lecą anioły, lecą demony, wieczny wyścig o duszę trwa.
