THE GLOVES ARE OFF!
By Norris R. McDonald
Off... off... off!
The Gloves
Are Off, Lawd!
The Gloves Are Off! O! Lawd!
Lawd... Lawd!
Ten million Florida Medicaid Fraud,
Hospitals closed, life hard.
Lawd! O! Lawd, tings are hard!
Lawd! The Gloves Are Off!
The gloves are off,
The masks drop down,
Politricks runnin' dis town!
Money given
to Epstein Class,
While the poor put to the back, lef’ last.
Medicaid Fraud makes life very hard,
No milk, no food, for the working class!
Lawd, the Gloves are Off!
Lef' last... lef' last
Look at the
promise dem make on the stand,
Then dem turn ’round and strip up the land.
Politricks playin' with the people design,
Leave the youth dem stranded inna line.
The gloves are off,
The masks drop down,
Politricks runnin' dis town!
Dem a shout
and dem a scheme for the vote,
While the poor man a sink inna the boat.
No care for the sick, no care for the old,
Just another seat bought and sold.
Bought and sold... sold... sold...
Ten million
stolen from the needy child,
Rerouted, hidden, and completely defiled!
Slush funds fat while the hospitals drain,
Voters scream out inna hungah pain!
Dem a kick immigrant family off the roll,
Trading human lives for political control!
Money given
to Epstein Class,
Big luxury yacht and a sip from the glass,
While Pink champagne pour out for the elite mass,
The ghetto youth a walk pon the broken glass!
Dem a hide behind secrets and wall up dem yard,
But the fire a judge dem, life too hard!
Too hard... hard... hard...
The gloves are off,
The masks drop down,
Politricks runnin' dis town!
Time to
remove de dem masks,
Uncover the face, demand for the tasks!
No more pretty lie when the citizen asks.
Rip off the disguise, let the truth reveal,
No more fake smile and crooked deal!
Reveal... reveal... truth reveal...
Angie Nixon fighting for the Working Class,
She standing firm where the battle cast!Exposing the schemes and the corporate thieves,
Tearing down the lies that the system weaves!
Fighting cause life hard, standing fast,
No more champagne for the Epstein Class!
The masks
drop down!
The Gloves Are Off!
For the Epstein Class,
For the Working Class,
The Gloves Are Off!
Town... town... town...
