Lyrics: 

Green papers calculate how much you're valuable
Lincoln, Franklin, Washington and Hamilton
Read tha bank slip, insufficient capital
(Latido, they got some nerve callin' YOU a radical!)
Dinin' is denied without dinero
Behind on rent?  Evict!  Foreclosure peril
What's in tha cards for poor?  Consult tha tarot
Can't blame ya, black man, bank heist, double barrel
'Cause they gangsta, it's tha land they steal
We compete with Wall Street banker bandit breed
We sell our labor for basic standard needs
Tomorrow sure seems hollow on this hamster wheel

A boss tries 'til you're fired (pay to live...pay to die)
To work you to your bones (live to die...don't ask why)
From 5 to 9 we survive (pay to live...pay to die)
To earn food, shelter, clothes (live to die...don't ask why)

Legal tender is the perfume of serfdom
Odor bordering on feudalism it's so foul!
Fiat cash is a con game camouflaged
Owner in control, a proven pimp gorilla style
Why are weekends tha recess that they are?
Cool off tha human property with a shopping spree
Weekdays display tha trinkets that we bought
Tools of tha oligopoly!

Money dominates our lips!
'Cause ya gotta pay to live!
Tha economy is rigged
'Cause ya gotta pay to live!
Forever poverty persists
'Cause ya gotta pay to live!
Yeah, tha jobless rate can dip
STILL gotta pay to live!

Can ya college major fit?
'Cause ya gotta pay to live!
In an automated shift?
'Cause ya gotta pay to live!
We an army laborin'
'Cause ya gotta pay to live!
You a sovereign citizen?
STILL gotta pay to live! 

Exhausted energy these days, 21st century slave, is boss expectin'
Grateful marchers to our graves? I'm caught between tha
Pages of a periodical.  It's my fault I'm
Way too over and underqualified, modified my
Resume, listed all my office jobs.  Why I feel I'm
Marketing myself on an auction block?  These folks never
Met me, but control my destiny, read it and never
Called back, all that to reject my plea?!
(GED)  Part-time always seem like fool time
(CEO)  Full-time always seem like pool time
(But ya free)  No choice but overwork 'til we die
(To go broke)  Be homeless in cold weather freeze time
Ulcer recommend I see intestine surgeon
Debt prevents me from gettin' med insurance
On borrowed credit purchase, tomorrow left uncertain
Now how did my life end so early?

A boss tries 'til you're fired (pay to live...pay to die)
To work you to your bones (live to die...don't ask why)
From 5 to 9 we survive (pay to live...pay to die)
To earn food, shelter, clothes (live to die...don't ask why)
