Sure I ponied up a mill, but I didn't give my time
Baby needed food and you stuck on the roof
(Seems like we don't even care)
Nothin' but a bandit, left them folks abandoned
Now it wasn't on the nightly news no more
The next five days, no help ensued
In synopsis, this is my minority report
It went in, almost nothing changed
Just proved jet blue he's not, jet flew by the spot
That woulda been somethin' to watch
(Seems like we don't even care)
Every day it rains, so every day the pain
What the hell, what was that for?
Of that, I too, am guilty
So in reality, I didn't give a dime or a damn
He'd be just another bush surrounded by a couple orchids
(Seems like we don't even care)
Damn, that money that we gave was just a Band-Aid
So many times, I'm coverin' my eyes
To be able to sleep at night
It's a dirty game, so whatever is effective
You will pay that price
Turn on the TV, seein' the pain
Sayin' such a shame
While some of these folks' lost their whole life
And helicopter swooped down just to get a scoop
And the Commander-In-Chief just flew by
Silly rappers, because we got a couple Porches
So we send a little money, tell 'em it's alright
My frustration at the way that we treat
Through his telescopic lens but he didn't scoop you
Left 'em on they porches, same old story in New Orleans
We forget the unfortunate
What if he ran out of jet fuel and just dropped?
You can't say we better off than we was before
Niggas off the chain because they affected
Poor kids just 'cause they were poor kids
But life is a chain, cause and effected
Helicopters doin' fly-bys to take a couple of shots
Wouldn't you loot, if you didn't have the loot?
MTV stopped by to film our fortresses
That left my people stranded
Suddenly, it didn't matter to you no more
(Seems like we don't even care)
They called you a refugee because you seek refuge
Can't say we better off than we was before
Did he stop? No, he had a couple seats
From weed to sellin' kane, gotta put that in effect
I just put my monies in the hands of the same people
Peekin' through my fingers, tryin' to hide
Seems like we don't even care
Then tryin' to go on with my life
But ignored them and showed 'em the rains was to blame
Couple of portraits then ignored 'em
In synopsis, this is my minority report
