Now uh

Ladies and gentlemen uh uh huh

Boys and girls um yeah

I wanna I wanna teach y'all a lil' somethin' today uh

Yeah teach 'em teach 'em

A lil' somethin' called uh

Check me out listen

Okay now let me start to tell y'all all about taxes

How much do you pay well that depends on your bracket

The fact is it's somethin' that affects all the masses

But I'll break it down into a classic

You see the internal revenue

Service was discovered with a purpose

By Abe Lincoln the rich be like

What was they thinkin'

Nah I'm playin' but let me

Get back to what I was sayin'

That the concept of tax can be a lil' complicated

You see taxes pay for roads and interstates

And our local library that they just had to renovate

Not to mention I grew up on food stamps and section

All of which co-exist because of taxes we pay

You see nine percent of taxes help provide to the poor

But fifteen goes to defense and supplyin' the war

Now if you ask me I'd say that the numbers are shrewd

But we agree that with no military we're screwed

For real

I'll drop a lil' knowledge for whatever it's worth

Only two percent went to medical research

Now we just gettin' started and I'll give you some more

But we all know one thing's for sure

Little homie you better pay your tax

La da da da

Little homie you better pay your tax

Little homie you better pay your tax

I don't think you hear me

You better pay your tax

You better listen let me tell you

You better pay your tax

Now put your hand I know you hear me come on

Pay your tax

Now come on now come on check it

You see to understand the present

You must first learn the past

The American revolution all started because of tax

'Cause Britain was overtaxin' on sugar and paper

And colonies was like

Nah bruh I'ma have to see you later

How the government spends money is all up for debate

And what you got to pay

Is based on how much that you make

And I know what your kids thinkin'

What this got to do with me

But one day you gon' really need that social security

And I always keep it real so I'ma have to say that

Me and my family really benefit from Medicaid

So you gotta vote bruh and it's super beneficial

'Cause you have a say in who's your local officials

And they decide on how to slice the pie

And how to spend the budget to help the general public

So you gotta stay aware and let's keep on discussin'

'Cause if you don't use your

Voice then you don't have nothin'

And I don't have all the answers so

I'll leave you with this

Do your own research bruh 'cause it's to your benefit

So whether you believe that taxes should be raised or lowered

It only really matters if you voted so let me tell you

Better pay your tax
