Its The Economy Stooped<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Hey homies
\nWelcome to the hows
\nOf whining elections
\nKnow madder how many dwellings
\nFalling flat
\nOr lodging complaints
\nIt really might be
\nA bout
\nProferring the will
\nOf the people
\nEstating undeniably
\nInhospitable a bode
\nIts the economy stooped
\nAnd no other
\nSubjects
\nA porched earth policy
\nWeather you like it or not
\nThere will be
\nKnow climate change
\nThere will be
\nNo real talk about race in this race
\nLet a loan
\nThe human race
\nIts
\nA bout just US
\nAnd tar nation
\nHell
\nO lord
\nIts
\nThe manor of things
\nAver ran duh
\nTo our buy and buy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
