Why the hell can’t I have clean water?
I said why the hell can’t I have clean water?
Are we gonna turn this into a fight?
Shouldn’t crystal clean water be in sight?
Who knew about emergency managers?
Who knew he was the devil’s ambassador?
As a bureaucrat, it’s your job to protect us.
Not create rust and lead
That causes all kinds of abnormalities and internal
tragedies in a child’s head.
Fuck that…In my head!
And it leads to all kinds of pathogens, which starve for
unique antigens.
I describe my temper as shorter
All I’m asking for is some new world water
I describe my temper as shorter
All I’m asking for is some new world water
Right now, I’m drinking piss
Or something that looks like piss
Something’s amiss
As I fish and dig and research
Clearer water for us was besmirched.
How you saving the State money?
When we find it hard to breathe?
How you saving the State money?
When the result inflects disease?
These are laws against human nature.
When suddenly the State becomes a traitor.
As if someone anointed them creator.
Waiting for the government to fix it can be slow yo’.
Or actually the problem is infectious with the slo-mo.
It doesn’t matter if you’re rural.
The plan is all about systemic poor urban removal.
You charging me for water I can’t drink?
Obviously, you have a PHD from the University of Don’t
of Think.
About the irrevocable harm and symptoms like:
Hair falling out what’s that all about
Back and muscles ache stuff you can’t fake.
Seizures in her sleep, now I can’t even sleep.
Long term heavy metals poisoning that I can’t say how
annoying.
Anemia, memory loss, brain fog and fatigue.
There have been reports of diverticulitis, a digestive
disease.
Chants of you gotta get the lead out
You gotta get the lead out
You gotta get the lead out
You gotta get the lead out
I describe my temper as shorter
All I’m asking for is some new world water
I describe my temper as shorter
All I’m asking for is some new world water
You mean to tell me that if it wasn’t for General Motors-
who complained that, the water was so corrosive that it
was affecting the manufacturing of their cars
That the people of Flint would still be displaying
undrinkable water in jars?
Rusting engine blocks exposed the problem
High levels of chloride was the problem
But if there was no General Motors would there be a
problem?
They threatened to leave the State if you don’t straighten
this shit out!
We can make cars in any fucking State with a doubt!
Man, you gotta cut off that water and switch back to the
Detroit water system now
Or we gonna move our whole manufacturing facility
somehow!
Finally, they have began to indict a few
But the process is so damn slow but you already know
what they were gonna say, “This will take time.”
Not when my friends are dying and it’s fucking with mine
These are inexcusable acts that are immoral and clearly
lack
The ability to right a wrong and get back on track
I say these are crimes against humanity
A psychosis defined as insanity
Equal to a cultural/class genocide that should be tried in
the world court
I say Loretta Lynch, please do your job
Before people assemble on the Great Lawn resemble a
mob
Put the Governor, Director of Water Works, and lastly the
Emergency Manager in jail
Left to drink that nasty shit they define as water with
every meal beginning with no bail
I describe my temper as shorter
All I’m asking for is some new world water
I describe my temper as shorter
All I’m asking for is some new world water
