The Lyrics
The story of the Occupy Wall Street Gang in NYC in Zuccotti Park, as told by Coolio :)
As I walk through the park with no money or check
I see some folks camping out, in my mind say "What the heck"
Cause I've been lookin' for jobs so damn long that
Even my trust fund stinks, its all been withdrawn..
But I ain't never camped in parks, so I could try it
Me, be homeless in the street, hell no, occupy it
You better watch how you sleep, and where you creep
Cus you and your homies might be here for weeks
I really hate the cold, I hate being broke..
It's so cold when I breathe it looks like pistol smoke, fool
I'm the kinda G cool protesters wanna be like
In my tent in the night
Stealing power from the street lights
Been spending most our lives living in this Occuparadise
Been spending most our lives living in this Occuparadise
Keep spending most our lives living in this Occuparadise
Keep spending most our lives living in this Occuparadise
They say I'm one of them, they got me buggin'
I a 99 percent, got no cash for the rent
So I gotta be down with the livestream
Too much global revolution' got me chasin' dreams
I'm an educated kid with a huge student loan
Got a sign in my hand and my shiny Iphone
I'm a mad protester, in the streets full of rage
And all the hippies are here, they may die of old age, fool
Pizza ain't nothing but a food tent away
I'm living life here for free, what can I say?
I'm twenty-three now, Get a job when I'm twenty-fo'?
The way things are goin' I don't know
Been spending most our lives living in this Occuparadise
Been spending most our lives living in this Occuparadise
Keep spending most our lives living in this Occuparadise
Keep spending most our lives living in this Occuparadise
Bankers took my money, NYPD took my power
Lousy sanitation, cleaning here took hours
Now my tent is gone, Its getting kind of freezin'
What's going on in the park, We all are sick and wheezing
They say I got to move, that nobody wants us camping,
They just cant understand it, oh no my legs are cramping
I guess we can't; I guess we won't
I guess we're screwed; that's why I'm 99%, fool!
Been spending most our lives living in this Occuparadise
Been spending most our lives living in this Occuparadise
Keep spending most our lives living in this Occuparadise
Keep spending most our lives living in this Occuparadise
I see some folks camping out, in my mind say "What the heck"
Cause I've been lookin' for jobs so damn long that
Even my trust fund stinks, its all been withdrawn..
But I ain't never camped in parks, so I could try it
