Been So Long
Crooked I

[Intro: Crooked I]

It's been so long since

Hip-Hop spoke to the problems of the world

Somethin's goin on

It's like a conspiracy,to stop us


[Crooked I]

Yo, nobody knows what goes on inside of me

So this time I'm rhymin out of my diary

See I ain't scared of society and Bill O'Reilly

Get tyranny, could never silence or either quiet me

I'm watchin every step you make, every breath you take

I'm thinkin F you snake

I'm focused on the future, I wonder 'bout my nephew's fate

Probably worse than FEMA's Katrina rescue rate

And I ain't talkin Crip or Blood when I say red-blue state

I mean Democrats and Repub's, best educate yourself, cause the drama's real

And Fox News Corporation want Obama killed; keep it trill

Barack gettin hated on by right-wing extremists

You're hatin on yourself cause he's half-white you genius

You're damn right, and Glenn Beck you redneck asswipe

You're presenty a dick and in your past life a penis!

I mean it, yeah


[Chorus: Sally Anthony]

And I know that something is going on

(Going on and on)

Cause we haven't spoken for so long

It's been so long


[Crooked I - over Chorus]

Somethin's goin on, yeah

I put it in a song

Been a long time

Since we did it like, this



[Crooked I]

Dear Mr. President it's time to cut your charm off

Reachin across the aisle to thos who will cut your arm off

The topic of public options set the alarm off

Look at the town halls, that was they downfall

They was supposed to be discussin health insurance but they wasn't

They was cussin, Hang that nigga by his brown balls!

I head 'em screamin, and I believe in freedom of speech

But I also believe in treason so what's the reason?

The people in Texas are stressin sucession? Answer that question

The answer his complexion, it ain't perplexin (naw)

They never wanted to see a black man move America in the right direction

Stop the war and fight recession

I represent for my citizens who don't have a chance

Can't afford a dental plan or a ride in a ambulance

For my soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan

Hope you don't get tortured by the Taliban

Cause the waterboardin, is so important, man!


[Chorus] - beings over last line


[Crooked I - over Chorus]

Yo! Somethin's going on

Open your eyes

Somethin's goin on

They don't want us talking about the real

We haven't talked about it in so long

It's been a long time


[Sally] Can I ask you somethin?

[Crook] Chea..

[Sally] Have you changed or are you the same?

[Crook] Let me know {*echoes*}
