Section: March 4 Demonstrations
Administration still stick to their guns/
And we got proof that Elihu misappropriate funds/
They take the whole piece of pie and try to leave us the crumbs/
Like since Obama in office we can't complain about nothing/
How you think I'm supposed to act/
When you cutting $938 million and try to give us just $2 million back/
They cutting 600 classes, student services bus passes/
Schools with Army recruiters, we losing students by the masses/
Taking action, who coming with me/
I got three kids and I'm trying to get a Ph.D./
Up in the budget cuts meeting with the USCs/
And I've been beaten by the OPD/
And I've been reading about W.E.B./DuBois
So really, take it seriously/
Call the national security/
Cause there's too many of us in the streets fighting for the right to read"/
Chop from the Top
Cut the Board Administration/
Chop from Top
Don't limit our education/
Chop from the Top (4x)
Books $300/Fees $400/
Rent $900/Food $200/
Where our stimulus check?/
Where our stimulus check?//
You bailing out these banks,
But ain't help us yet!//
Books $300/Fees $400/
Rent $900/Food $200/
Where our stimulus check?
Where our stimulus check?
I'm a full-time student that's seeking employment.
