0:10D-D-daytrip took it to ten hey
0:11Now uh
0:13Ladies and gentlemen uh uh huh
0:15Boys and girls um yeah
0:16I wanna I wanna teach y'all a lil' somethin' today uh
0:18Yeah teach 'em teach 'em
0:20A lil' somethin' called uh
0:22Check me out listen
0:23Okay now let me start to tell y'all all about taxes
0:26How much do you pay well that depends on your bracket
0:29The fact is it's somethin' that affects all the masses
0:32But I'll break it down into a classic
0:34You see the internal revenue
0:36Service was discovered with a purpose
0:38By Abe Lincoln the rich be like
0:40What was they thinkin'
0:41Nah I'm playin' but let me
0:42Get back to what I was sayin'
0:44That the concept of tax can be a lil' complicated
0:47You see taxes pay for roads and interstates
0:50And our local library that they just had to renovate
0:53Not to mention I grew up on food stamps and section
0:55All of which co-exist because of taxes we pay
0:58You see nine percent of taxes help provide to the poor
1:01But fifteen goes to defense and supplyin' the war
1:04Now if you ask me I'd say that the numbers are shrewd
1:07But we agree that with no military we're screwed
1:10For real
1:11I'll drop a lil' knowledge for whatever it's worth
1:13Only two percent went to medical research
1:16Now we just gettin' started and I'll give you some more
1:19But we all know one thing's for sure
1:21Little homie you better pay your tax

1:43Pay your tax
1:45Now come on now come on check it
1:46You see to understand the present
1:48You must first learn the past
1:49The American revolution all started because of tax
1:52'Cause Britain was overtaxin' on sugar and paper
1:55And colonies was like
1:56Nah bruh I'ma have to see you later
1:58How the government spends money is all up for debate
2:01And what you got to pay
2:02Is based on how much that you make
2:04And I know what your kids thinkin'
2:05What this got to do with me
2:07But one day you gon' really need that social security
2:10And I always keep it real so I'ma have to say that
2:13Me and my family really benefit from Medicaid
2:16So you gotta vote bruh and it's super beneficial
2:19'Cause you have a say in who's your local officials
2:21And they decide on how to slice the pie
2:25And how to spend the budget to help the general public
2:27So you gotta stay aware and let's keep on discussin'
2:30'Cause if you don't use your
2:32Voice then you don't have nothin'
2:33And I don't have all the answers so
2:35I'll leave you with this
2:36Do your own research bruh 'cause it's to your benefit
2:39So whether you believe that taxes should be raised or lowered
2:42It only really matters if you voted so let me tell you
2:45Better pay your tax
