It's a Recession

It's A Recession going on out here
Cars left unsold houses left empty and bare
No jobs, no food,no money for nothing
Everyday your out there hustling

It's A recession going on for everybody breathing
Baby's crying no milk no food for the feeding
No money bank balance is negative zero
Please send me my super hero

It's a Recession as we speak right now
Help your fellow neighbor some way some how
God say ask and you shall receive as long as you believe in me
Don't worry brighter days are soon coming
Learn not to fret but start singing and humming
Pray for everyone you know and love
And watch your blessings come pouring from above

IT's A Recession!!!
Learn to say it and watch you get some free s**t!
Learn to say "is that with the discount"?
Learn  to smile!

Congrats on "It's a Recession" being featured. In our new socialist bull--t government, we'll all soon be robots of the liberal congress. Vince
