take a look around do you see whats going on
people losing they jobs now they staying at home
they pray and they mourn but aint nobody kno whats happenin
its crashing smashing nothings left lasting
lives at risk how they gonna pay the bills
how they gonna take they pills how they gonna make a meal
its past fake or real stop lying to yourself
before you even know it you be crying about your wealth
major corporations dissappearing in minutes
an image of a famly stuck trying to be living
this is real life and its happening now
no need for asking aroudn grab your cap and your gown
just pray for better days as the new year approaches
keep hoping speak open we're here to be coping
it's happened before but we rose to the top
if you lucky like me just hold to your job
imagine a dad a mom kids by they side
no money coming in but they still gonna try
the rents past due tuiton is late
the current economy will chose your fate
bruise your face but who's to say
up one day then it's down the next
is it gonna progress or will it simply regress
headlines saying this headlines saying that
now people gettin scared with their money staying back
say they saw it coming couple a months ago
others simply stated that they had it under control
news flash mortages just going to waste
stock bonds hedge funds all going to waste
brokers going insane clients selling everything
do anything for money even selling wedding rings
you going to work it can be your last day
last pay a simple phone call happens fast man
pack your stuff up no two week warning
gotta be prepared when you leave in the morning
kids sorry this year santa ain't gon be around
dont' gotta clean the chimney cuz he ain't comin down
I mean i know it sounds bad I gotta let you know
of whats going on you'll see it when you old
feel it in your soul keep reaching for that goal
it's all gonna pass jus gotta wait it out
united we stand, now say it out loud
untied we stand, now say it out loud
united we stand, now say it out loud
