Taxes Cordae

[Intro]
D-D-Daytrip took it to ten (Hey)
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

[Verse 1]
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 8
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
