    So there's a story about the lady in Louisiana
    She's a flood survivor and the rescue teams
    They come through, and they, I guess tryna recover people
    And they see this women she's wadin through the streets
    I guess it'd been some time after the storm
    And I guess they were shocked that you know she was alive
    And rescue worker said, "So, oh my God h-how did you survive
    How did you do it? Where've you been?"
    And she said, "Where I been? Where you been?"
    Hah, Where you been? You understand?
    That's about the size of it

    This for the streets, the streets everywhere
    The streets affected by the storm called... America
    I'm doin this for y'all, and for me, for the Creator

    God save, these streets
    One dollar per every human being
    Feel that Katrina clap
    See that Katrina clap

    Listen, homie, it's Dollar Day in New Orleans
    It's water water everywhere and people dead in the streets
    And Mr. President he bout that cash
    He got a policy for handlin the niggaz and trash
    And if you poor you black
    I laugh a laugh they won't give when you ask
    You better 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
    Y'all pray amin

    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 soul
    A God save our soul, a God
    A God save our souls
    Lord God God save our soul
    A God save our soul soul soul
    Soul survivor

    It's Dollar Day in New Orleans
    It's water water everywhere and babies 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 ain't about the ghetto then fuck you too
    Who care bout rock 'n roll when babies can't eat food
    Listen homie man that shit ain't cool

    It's like Dollar Day for New Orleans
    It's water water everywhere and homies dead in the streets
    And Mr. President's a natural ass
    He out treatin niggaz worse than they treat the trash

    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

    A God save our soul
    A God, a God save our soul
    Lord God God save our soul
    A God save our soul a God a God save

    Lord did not intend for the wicked to rule the world
    Say God did not intend for the wicked to rule the world
    God did not intend for the wicked to rule the world
    And even when they knew it's a matter of truth
    Before they wick-ed ruling is through

    God save, these streets
    A Dollar Day for New Orleans
    God save, these streets
    Quit bein cheap homie freedom ain't free
