Chorus:
God save these streets,
One dollar per every human being,
Feel that Katrina Clap,
See that Katrina Clap,

Verse I:
Listen homie, It’s dollar day in New Orleans,
It’s where there water everywhere and people dead in the street ,
And Mr. President he ‘bout that cash,
He got a policy for handlin’ the niggas and trash,
And if you poor you black,
I laugh a laugh, they won’t give when you ask,
You betta off on crack, dead or in jail, or with a gun in Iraq ,
And it’s as simple as that,
No opinion my man it’s mathematical fact,
Listen, a million poor since 2004,
And they got illions and killions to waste on the War,
And make you question what the taxes is for,
Or the cost to reinforce the broke levee wall,
Tell the boss he shouldn’t be the boss anymore ,
Ya be ameen

Chorus :
God save these streets,
One dollar per every human being,
Feel that Katrina Clap,
See that Katrina Clap,
God save these streets,
Quit bein’ cheap  nigga freedom ain’t free,
Feel that Katrina Clap,
See that Katrina Clap,

Lord have mercy,
Lord God God save our souls,
A-God save our souls, A-God,
A-God save our souls,
Lord God God save our souls,
A-God save our soul soul soul,
Soul Survivor,

Verse 2:
It’s dollar day in New Orleans,
It’s where water everywhere and baby’s dead in the streets,
It’s enough to make you holler out,
Like where the fuck is Sir Bono and his famous friends now,
Don’t get it twisted man I dig U2,
But if you aint about the ghetto, Then Fuck You Too,
Who care bout Rock N’ Roll when babies can’t eat food,
Listen homie that shit ain’t cool,
It’s like dollar day for New Orleans,
It’s where the water everywhere and homies dead in the streets,
And Mr. President’s a natural ass,
He out treatin’  niggas worse than they treat the trash,

Chorus:
God save these streets,
One dollar per every human being,
Feel that Katrina Clap!
See that Katrina Clap!
God save these streets,
Quit bein’ cheap  nigga freedom ain’t free!
Feel that Katrina Clap!
See that Katrina Clap,

Soul Survivor,
Lord God God save our souls,
A-God save our souls, A-God,
A-God save our souls,

A-God save our soul A-God A-God save us,

Verse 3:
Lord did not intend for the wicked to rule the world,
Say God could not intend  for the wicked the rule the wor (o oorld),
God did not intend for the wicked to rule the world,
And even when they knew it’s a matter of truth, before they wicked ruling is through,

Chorus:
God save these streets,
A-dollar day for New Orleans,
God save these streets,
Quit bein’ cheap homie freedom ain’t free,

God save these streets,
One dollar per every human being,
