[Intro]
Dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, duh, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, duh, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, duh, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, duh, dah

[Verse 1]
Rockets, moon shots
Spend it on, the have nots
Money, we make it
'Fore we see it, you take it
Inflation, no chance
To increase, finance
Bills pile up, sky high
Send that boy off, to die!

[Chorus]
Yeah make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Yeah make me wanna holler
The way they do my life

[Post-Chorus]
Dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, duh, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, duh, dah

[Verse 2]
Hang ups, let downs
Bad breaks, setbacks
Natural fact is
I can't pay, my taxes!

[Chorus]
Well make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Yеah make me wanna holler
Thе way they do my life

[Post-Chorus]
Dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, duh, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, duh, dah

[Verse 3]
Crime is increasing
Trigger happy, policin'
Panic is spreading
God's knows where we're heading!

[Chorus]
Well make me wanna holler
When they don't understand
Yeah make me wanna holler
When they don't understand
Well make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Yeah make me wanna holler
The way they do my life

[Outro]
Dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, duh, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, duh, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, duh, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, duh, dah
