He Con No Me
Deaf lip readers
did you just listen to
another little White House lie
E coli
be bad, ghetto trickle down disease news:
empty purse ... blank bounced check
Pursed lips deleterious —
It’s the economy, stupid!
Happy Days for the hapless homeless
be recessive Recession
Sad Days for the evicted occupant
is dominant Depression
Eco lie
Sliced sound-byte white bread
buttered up real good
Empty promise humus money sandwich —
Phat wallets be lean
sawdust-cut paper wood
Feed the poor, parched souls
another little wet white lie
Watered down synthetic vow
Eco lie
Econ 101
Easy con
String attached dollar;
snatch it back, and listen to
the fleeced holla
One trick promise turn to zero
minus one
Dirty green pond flotsam
giving the bacterium sick kiss mono
Read his lips, taste the spit
E coli ... eco lie: easy con
E-con one zero one is voter poll sold plankton
This has always been fake prosperity headline news
to the ghetto wilderness earmuffed cormorants
Eco lie ... E coli
He con no me
E coli ... eco lie
It’s so hard for some to see
Eco lie ... E coli
Inoculate your mind or die
E coli ... eco lie
Mama and Papa didn’t raise no fool,
that be the cured truth why
