Everybodys Uptight Tryin to Get Your Money Right by Jocko Lyrics
Everybody's uptight
(Everybody's uptight)
Trying to get their money right
(Trying to get their money right)
Jocko, Jocko where have ya been?
I rapped with Reagan, now I'm back again
When you can't find a job you're in a hell of a fix
Reagan-omics got you in a bag of tricks
Things are bad, no relief in sight
Everybody's uptight trying to get their money right
Inflation, got the nation
When it comes to the rap a dab dab
I want you to know I'm the best at that
You gotta keep on rappin' through the budget cuts
RAP when the government kicks your butt
Holler loud, holler clear, holler if you need some help out there
HELP! HELP! HELP! HELP!
Whole lotta people need a whole lot of help
No if ands or buts, the government is kickin' our butts
To all this panic you might as well know
It ain't no better in Puerto Rico
Detroit was hit hardest by far
Many people ain't buyin' the American car
Employment lines are from here to there
There ain't no good jobs anywhere
Foods all gone, the rents past due
I can't hack it and neither can you
Chicka boom chicka boom chicka bombidy dare
Say a little prayer keep a-hanging in there
Things are bad, no relief in sight
Everybody's uptight trying to get their money right
You're out there struttin' try to make it some way
The junkies schemin' how to taketh away
While your working hard they breakin' your back
[?] are you mad
You get a guard dog, that's the thing to do
Damn if the junkies are stealing them too
Say ho, ho, chow, chow, they even got your bow wow
Tough deal, its for real, never met a junkie that didn't steal
Ain't no solution to the junkie revolution
So now this game is going that's where its at
Stakes getting over like a big fat cat
If you really don't wanna go hungry
Don't blow all your money on the lottery
Hey Liz! What it is, I'm obligated to tell it like it is
Hey dude, yeah, is your name Bob?
Your girlfriend split when you lost your job
She met a cat with some money and a shiny car
Can't separate them with a crow bar
She boogaloos downtown likes to hug and kiss
Put you out of her mind like you didn't exists
Jocko this ain't no joke, I don't need no dude that's broke
Hey Sonny, that's me, you can lose your honey when the money gets funny
Say ho, ho, shout, shout!
Ain't no more love when your money runs out
Forget [?] way no place to be everyone I see is doing bad like me
Can't take it can't make it through another day
Gotta get my head together find a better way
Chicky boom chicky boom chicky boom biddy boom
Got my things all packed and I'm splitin' real soon
Hey yall let me make this clear I gotta, gotta, gotta gotta get outa here
Things are bad, no relief in sight, everybody's uptight trying to get their money right
Rap up the job mr Vietnam vet
Rap a dab dab when you missed your number bet
Rap, when you ain't got cash
I can rap better than Grand Master Flash
Rap up some love your car is parked
Rap when if mugger catches you in the dark
Chicky boom chicky boom chick boomity dact
You can't get pulled over when your rappin' white
Take a look at that girl she's 13
They nick named her the street queen
Hooked on drugs she needs the loot
God help her she's nothin but a prostitute
This pitiful girl is just a tot
The pusher gets every dime she's got
Hey Pearl, what a world, gotta find a way to help that girl
Ain't no solution to the junkie revolution
Gonna rap, through the arms race
Every nation in the world wants to be in first place
Spend billions on bombs thats a lot of dough
With a nuclear war everybody's gotta go
If they push for the button for the bombs release
The world been shot through the grease
Say oh oh, oh oh, sorry to tell you that's the way they go
No if ands or buts the government is kickin' our butts
They got a master plan throughout the land
It started with that Reagan man
The rich stay rich, the poor stay poor
Then they lock every door just to make sure
Hey lift, I'm about to have a fit
That's about the size of it
Inflation got the nation
No time for, celebration
Celebration time, no way!
Jocko Jocko where ya been?
I've caught hell out there
Now I'm back again
Chicky boom chicky boom chickity boomity boom
Got my things all packed and I'm splitting real soon
Hey y'all let me make this clear
I gotta gotta gotta get outta here
Chicky boom chicky boom chicky boom biddy boom
Got my things all packed and I'm splitting real soon
Hey y'all let me make this clear...
