Updated: November 12, 2009

Health reform is half way home, don't forget it
The house approved a bill, now it's off to the senate

Republicans didn't think it was fine
Democratic party partied like (Prince in) 1999

Some things in the news leave me breathless
Like the shooting at Fort Hood in Texas

Obama and thousands paid respects
But it won't bring those 13 back from the dead

Nearly a third of teens who want to work
Can't find jobs, it's kind of absurd

So many people feel poor, even Sally
Lost her job selling sea shells by the sea shore

And Peter Piper went to college and got graded
Now Peter Piper's back picking peppers and he hates it

Hope he doesn't have to be pan-handling
At least Obama has a choice in Afghanistan

With four options for the number of troops
Could send thousands or just a couple of dudes

Here's a piece of advice that's enlightening
Don't cross the border of Iran when you're hiking

Ok? Their government's not inviting
Instead of "hi," they might accuse you of spying

It all falls down like the Berlin Wall
It divided a world, it wasn't that tall

But the wall was a symbol of us vs. them
When it broke up, it made us just friends

So now it's just remnants of that Wall
But there are still invisible walls dividing us all

Next thing you know, she hit the floor
Shawty got low, low...yeah low but not too close

Because some school dances have kids signing
Agreements that they won't be bumping and grinding

In South Carolina you can eat grits and peas
But your license plate cannot say "I Believe"

I'm bigger than Big Bird, I know the nerds heard me
I'm singing happy birthday to Bert and Ernie

Holiday seasons coming, I can't tell though
What'll be the hot toy like Tickle Me Elmo

Maybe it'll be a Flocab CD
We already have so many we released

These other rappers are Pinocchios, telling you lies
It's the Week in Rap, oops, pow, surprise
