Who’s supposed to be the genius, me? Or is it you?
Well why do my homeless people still get abuse
from the way you shelter them
down to the way you feed them food? 

You talk to them like they’re trash, you make them sleep with rats
Years after years, you still feed them lunch bags
You make them feel unwanted
even if they’re spending their money

But what makes you any better than ours?
Why didn’t your family end up where mines is? 
The Creator always had this plan
 just like God told you 

Stop playing, how y’all virusly washing your hands 
Don’t get scared, now you SEE
God wasn’t pleased 
at how y’all fight over money 

Y’all think I’m crazy, huh?
Coronavirus is an attack on our government
It don’t take a rocket scientist to see
It’s evident.
