Lawmakers say a prayer:
Good Lord, give us strength to cope,
help us cheat, rip and disfavor -
for above all things we loving dough.
Here lootmonkeys set directions,
there papercunts make up the law:
they forbid, and they allow -
yet they rather keen of sayin no.
Your life is your legal tender:
fill with it their pockets up the slit,
then once you're squeezed en in a bender,
they thrust ya in a shithole of defeat.
Justicedealers toss decisions:
black is white, and white is fuckin blue;
with a diabolical precision make sure,
Truth's the last thing in a queue.
CHORUS:
But I breathe - en I'mah legitimate,
And I feel - en I'mah legitimate.
Lawmakers say a prayer:
Good Lord, give us strength to cope,
help us cheat, rip and disfavor -
for above all things we loving dough.
Pigs of Justice shine and fatten
fed on sorrows of a man
reeking wealth, obscene and blatant:
yet their shit unlikely t'hit the fan.
CHORUS:
But I breathe - en I'mah legitimate,
And I laugh - en I'mah legitimate.
Pater noster in da heaven
Give us cash en daily bread.
Sed libera us from Evil -
Shut your mouth en don't fret!
CHORUS:
Cuz I breathe
I'mah legitimate,
Cuz I love
I'mah legitimate,
Cuz I dream
I'mah legitimate,
And cuz I hate
I'mah legitimate.
Is there the place
where we can breathe without being tried?
without being tried,
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
without being tried...
