Once upon a time in the land of The of lawyers, guns and money A funny little we all call greed my hometown down to its knees
A little bit worried the shape I'm in Baby needs shoes and the wallet's Got no gas or But everybody's singin' in
Sell me up, sell me I be out sittin' here hangin' around Take my house, my car But you take my seat at the corner bar Take my crib, my car But I'm keepin' my at the corner bar
No block party, evicted No lights, no runnin' liquids I got no room on my card And I'm three court dates from the prison

Sell me up, me down I be sold out sittin' here hangin' my house, take my car But you can't take my seat at the bar Take my crib, my car But I'm my seat at the corner bar
Once a time in America The politicians went and outta love There was a raping of the man And left us sittin' here no plan
Swimmin' through bills like Phelps and out and can't get no help The kids are hungry, peepin' French Pickin' through dumpsters for Ramen
Standin' in line with a to feed Tradin' Manhattan for beads It's been a time since we felt good Got everybody waitin' on Hood
Sell me up, me down I be sold out here hangin' around Take my house, my car But you can't take my at the corner bar my crib, take my car But I'm my seat at the corner bar
upon a time in America The politicians and fell outta love There was a of the common man And left us sittin' without no plan
me up, sell me down I be sold out here hangin' around my house, take my car But you can't take my at the corner bar my crib, take my car But I'm keepin' my seat at the bar
