- Congress Man LyricsCongress man
Let us stop exploiting our children
To all the gangsta man
I beg you stop harassing our women too
You seal yourself behind dem walls
Thinking nothing could ever get to you
You don't even care about the children
Lootin' and shootin' dem brothers and sisters down
Meanwhile our country is bombing
Somewhere in the middle of Afghanistan
And they don't even care about the people
Who suffering and dying inna Oakland
Well that's not I plan
Congress man
Let us stop exploiting our children
To all the gangsta man
I beg you stop harassing our women too
You hide yourself behind your dollar
Which one day crumbles down to the ground?
You don't seem to care about the youth man
As you glorifying the murderer you know
Today we're living in illusion
Between reality and what is on MTV
You don't even listen to the prophet saying
"Half the story has not yet been told"
Congress man
Let us stop exploiting our children
Gangsta man
I beg you stop harassing our women too
Oh Lord yeah, oh Lord yeah, oh Lord yeah
As the world goes down in flames
No the youth men are not to blame
To all evil workers underneath the sun
Your time is done; your time is done (x 2)
Your time is done, your time is done
Let us stop exploiting our children
To all the gangsta man
I beg you stop harassing our women too
You seal yourself behind dem walls
Thinking nothing could ever get to you
You don't even care about the children
Lootin' and shootin' dem brothers and sisters down
Meanwhile our country is bombing
Somewhere in the middle of Afghanistan
And they don't even care about the people
Who suffering and dying inna Oakland
Well that's not I plan
Congress man
Let us stop exploiting our children
To all the gangsta man
I beg you stop harassing our women too
You hide yourself behind your dollar
Which one day crumbles down to the ground?
As you glorifying the murderer you know
Today we're living in illusion
Between reality and what is on MTV
You don't even listen to the prophet saying
"Half the story has not yet been told"
Congress man
Let us stop exploiting our children
Gangsta man
I beg you stop harassing our women too
Oh Lord yeah, oh Lord yeah, oh Lord yeah
As the world goes down in flames
No the youth men are not to blame
To all evil workers underneath the sun
Your time is done; your time is done (x 2)
Your time is done, your time is done
