AnyTime

Jackass!
Aren't you tired of pushing around the poor?
Well, Babatunde's got a message for you, you see
Alright

Never let your problems bring you down
Gotta stay focused and hold your ground
Though it seems hopeless, there’s no progress
We’re still hustling 'round town
We do what we do just to stay alive
We sell what we sell just to survive
We’re tired of the bullshit
And we’ve been fed up since '95

So, tell them anytime we’re hungry again, they’ll see us with our nines
Police out on the streets say they’re fighting crime
And the holidays are coming, but I don’t see a dime
Tell them anytime the government’s policies undermine
The plight of the poor, that’s a sure sign
Corruption and war are gonna reach their prime
Tell them anytime we’re hungry again, they’ll see us with our nines
Police out on the streets say they’re fighting crime
And the holidays are coming, but I don’t see a dime
Tell them anytime the government’s policies undermine
The plight of the poor, that’s a sure sign
Corruption and war are gonna reach their prime

Imagine
After I try my best to survive the streets
Sometimes I wonder how some people do it
So many times it burns me
Mama cleans the dirty floor so the kids can eat
Five Christmases now, I haven’t had any sorrel
Landlord and mama are at the courthouse arguing
Chin’s sending a chrome nine in a barrel
What do you expect me to do?

Go tell them anytime we’re hungry again, they’ll see us with our nines
Police out on the streets say they’re fighting crime
And the holidays are coming, but I don’t see a dime
Tell them anytime the government’s policies undermine
The plight of the poor, that’s a sure sign
Corruption and war are gonna reach their prime
Tell them anytime we’re hungry again, they’ll see us with our nines
Police out on the streets say they’re fighting crime
And the holidays are coming, but I don’t see a dime
Tell them anytime the government’s policies undermine
The plight of the poor, that’s a sure sign
Corruption and war are gonna reach their prime

Well!
They mess with our future, we take it with a smile
We feel the pinch now when everything’s gone bad
Poverty and hunger aren’t an easy lifestyle
We’re tired, and we’re tired, and we’re tired

Tell them anytime we’re hungry again, they’ll see us with our nines
Police out on the streets say they’re fighting crime
And the holidays are coming, but I don’t see a dime
Tell them anytime the government’s policies undermine
The plight of the poor, that’s a sure sign
Corruption and war are gonna reach their prime
Tell them anytime we’re hungry again, they’ll see us with our nines
Police out on the streets say they’re fighting crime
And the holidays are coming, but I don’t see a dime
Tell them anytime the government’s policies undermine
The plight of the poor, that’s a sure sign
Corruption and war are gonna reach their prime
