i need you to show me stuff / show me how to work this shit from a different level and we'll blow sky high / 
just like we used to do on the courts main.   you and me.   hurry up main!

Check this my man / I was reading Forbes Magazine the other day main / them folk got a lot of money.  sayin?

Now I know these politicians aint gonna fix nothing so I am writing to the billionaires to
 see if they can give us a hand down under here, right about now, sayin? 

I figure they oughtta help us out a little bit to fix this here little thang we got here. OK!  cause they the ones caused it to be not happening.

Billionaires make a lots of money, yo.   Ophra, she got a billion too, lets not leave huh out of they stuff. 
I figure it this way.   about this.   This thing is gittin ugly.  We gotta do something about this thing called a crisis  
They say We.   But We know we aint Them.   We's us.   They trying to be us.   OK. 
They can say what they fuckin wanna say, cause We know it's them,  and they keep trying to play us.

I did the math.  Its like this.  there are - and I'm quoting Forbes Magazine, au ite.  You 'ont believe me then go to
http://www.forbes.com/lists/2008/10/billionaires08_The-Worlds-Billionaires_Rank_2.html / see for yo'self.  There is a lot of
other good business stuff up in that Forbes Magazine that folk dont ever know bout. 

You can also get a mini education bout how the banking system in the U. S. work by going to  http://www.federalreserveeducation.org/FRED/?CFID=1121420&CFTOKEN=34011618.  Dont faint when you see the crazy shit they be saying makes stuff work right.   I'm telling you, shit aint working.  They better change they game plan quick.

There are 1062 Billionaires in the world.  The top (1 thru 25) billionaires have a net worth of $760,000,000,000 and billionaires 26 thru
46 have a net worth of $419,000,000,000.  check this Jimmy. 

Them billionaires wanna stick your son Lil Jimmy, who aint gonna be earning shit till after another 10 years - they talking about the government buying up billions of dollars for some junk paper they call a security, with some initials on it calling it a CDO or some'n.  

I carry all kinds of junction to the junk yards, so i know the shit aint got no salvage value, worth nothing. 

They say if WE dont help'em, they gonna be hurt, and we go'on be hurt.  I say hurt'em. 
Help'em out of this little crisis- they say.   Crisis dont hurt me cause I'm African born in America,
so I know crisis like Langstons know him some rivers. 

What kindda shit is that?   WE.  they mean THEY.  They want me, Joe Public, to loan them $700,000,000,000.   
I say borrow it from the billionaires. They got it like that.    Hit me up on my cell Jimmy so we can run some ball.  
Gotta jump.
