My eyes is sore, bein the senator Behind closed doors hittin truths to the seafloor The rich don't know, ignore, this tug of war While the kids are poor open new and better drug stores So I became hardcore, couldn't take it no more I'ma reveal everythin change the law I find myself, walkin the streets Tryin to find what's really goin on in these streets
