Down in New Orleans (Finale) - Anika Noni Rose

Free! People are free! How can a fee enslave us? See How we can be Free from the chains He gave us! We're suffering now Such lives of sorrow Don't give us tomorrow Just give us today! Free! People are free! How can a fee enslave us? See? How we can be Free from the chains he gave us! We're suffering now Such lives of sorrow Don't give us tomorrow Just give us today! From every hill Every steeple Ring out the anthem Of the people Making a new way Breaking the clouds of gray To sing of today! Sing of today! Sing of today! Sing today Sing today Sing today A little brutality is exactly what these people need Officer Lockstock! Daddy, wait! He only wants the people to be happy Happy, you say? Happy? So you want happy, Mister Strong? Did you say happy, Mister Strong? If they pee today I'm sure they'll be As happy as a pup With no rules and no more fees to pay Things would be looking up! But too bad the water that we share Could fit inside a cup! What of tomorrow, Mister Strong? But what of today? But what of tomorrow, Mister Strong? Think of tomorrow, Mister Strong! Our resources are as fragile As a newborn baby's skull With your actions You would gut the child And leave a lifeless hull! Could it be you're so short-sighted So insensitive, so dull? Think of tomorrow, Mister Strong! But what of today? You are wrong, Mister Strong You and your socialistic throng If the people pee for free They'll push the system to the brink If today there's spillage Tell us how tomorrow will not stink! If it's you and me, now, Mister Strong Which one of us will blink? I say it's you, Mister Strong For on the subject of tomorrow You are wrong! Oh, Bobby Why didn't you tell me you were gonna start a revolution? Maybe for the same reason you didn't tell me you were a Cladwell So, you can join us Or you can stand aside Bobby, think! You're standing on the brink! You'll be arrested soon Perhaps as soon as noon And I could never bear To see you taken where The guilty pee-ers meet The toilet judgement seat! You said to follow your heart Here's where my heart leads Now I'll do my part To banish all needs You made me to see Fantastically clear When people pee free We've nothing to fear Give up now! We'll find a way somehow (your words were-) To help the people pee (-like seeds) Without a hefty fee (at first they) But if you must persist (seemed mild) Being an anarchist (they grew) My father's men will see (into deeds) You're sent away from me! (This riot's our child!) You'll get Urinetown! Sing of today. not tomorrow Bobby, you'll get Urinetown! End their lives of sorrow Off you'll go to Urinetown! (Today!) Urinetown! (Today!) Urinetown! (Sing of today!) You picked a fight you can't win today, Mr. Strong Your rabble is no match for my men You could punish our bodies, Mr. Cladwell But you could never punish our spirits Punish our bodies? I never agreed to any punishment of my body! Oh, ho ho Punishment is all you'll ever know Bobby, help He'll turn our brains to kelp (You are wrong, Mr. Strong) No matter what we do We're in a real bad stew (You are wrong, Mr. Strong) These cops look awful mean Like none we've ever seen (Very wrong, Mr. Strong) When Cladwell gives the cue Our revolution's through (You are wrong, Mr. Strong) Bobby, please (last night) There's no way to apease (your word were) A raging maniac (like seeds) A real insan-iac (at fist they) He's like a speeding train (seemed mild) Caught in a hurricane (they grew in-) But he is in control (-to deeds) And he is on a roll (this riot's our) Cladwell's nuts (child) With no ifs ands or buts (the child is) Yes, he's a real live loon (on fire) A freaking Looney Tune (he's hot as) And when he's done with us (the sun) We'll find we're on a bus (he burns like) Bound for that unknown place (a pyre) That we all dread to face ('til freedom is won) You'll get Urinetown! (Sing of today, not tomorrow) Bobby, you'll get Urinetown! (End their lives of sorrow) Off you'll go to Urinetown! (Today) Urinetown! (Today!) Urinetown! (Sing of today!) So? What'll it be, Bobby? Looks like we're in a real bad spot Doesn't it? I suppose we should leave Oh, Bobby They'll never let you leave now Not without you, they won't Which is why you're coming with us But- How can I come with you And not fight against my father? Unless... unless Oh, dear god Bobby, no! From every hill Every steeple Ring out the anthem of the people Making a new way Breaking the clouds of gray To sing of today Sing of today Sing of today! Sing today! Sing today! Sing today! Keep your men back, Cladwell We've got your daughter And we're not letting her go Boss, what do we do? Seize them! No! Don't let them get away! Help me! Help her! Now, run everybody Run for your lives! Run! Well, that's it for Act One (u-rine-town) As you can see (rine-town) The rebel poor are making their getaway (u-rine-town) With Hope as their hostage (rine-town) The rest of us (u-) Have been thrown into confusion (rine-town) Because, well (town, rine-town) Because we're all moving so damn slowly here (town) So, we don't get to catch them (rine-town) Not yet (rine-town, town) Enjoy Intermission (u-rine) And see you shortly (town) U-rine-town!

Yeah, oh you gotta love it Oh you got, oh you gotta love it I heard what circulated, let's get to the bottom of it I told 1da send me something and I got it covered Somehow always rise above it Why you think I got my head in the clouds on my last album cover? The game is all mine and I'm mighty possessive Lil Wayne could not have found him a better successor Every shot you see them take at me? They all contested Allen Iverson shoe deal, these niggas all in question Last night I went to sleep, wanted more Tried to decide what direction I should go towards Some nights I wish I could go back in life Not to change shit, just to feel a couple things twice 28 at midnight, wonder what's next for me Longevity, wonder how long they'll check for me Prolly forever if I stay in my zone I speak on this generation but can't change it alone I heard a lil lil homie talking reckless in Vibe Quite a platform you chose, you shoulda kept it inside Oh you tried, it's so childish calling my name on the world stage You need to act your age and not your girl's age It gets worse by the annual my career's like a how to manual So I guess it's understandable man Oh you gotta love it, you gotta love it cheer I know rappers that call Paparazzi to come and get 'em To show they outfits off, guess they need the attention I remember when it used to be music that did it But then again times have changed man, who are we kiddin'? I'm managed by my friends that I grew up with I'd rather give that 15% to people I fuck with If me and Future hadn't made it with this rappin' We prolly be out in Silicon tryna get our billions on But here we are, yeah Lately I feel the haters eatin' away at my confidence They scream out my failures and whisper my accomplishments Bitches alter my message like we have words And stories bout my life hit the net like a bad serve Bitter women I'm overtextin' are PMSing crazy this year Fuckin' with my image I've been tryna reach to you so I can save 'em this year Fuck it I guess I gotta wait til next year And I heard someone say something that stuck with me a lot Bout how we need protection from those protectin' the block Nobody lookin' out for nobody Maybe we should try and help somebody or be somebody Instead of bein' somebody that makes the news So everybody can tweet about it And then they start to RIP about it And four weeks later nobody even speaks about it Damn, I just had to say my peace about it Oh you gotta love it But they scared of the truth so back to me showin' out in public That's a hotter subject I've been whippin' Mercedes and nigga try to budget I gotta make it back to Memphis to check on my cousins Shout out to Ashley, Biama, Julia, Ericka, Southern America Part of my heritage, pardon my arrogance, part in my hair again That's that comeback flow, comeback flow Once I start it's apparent I wanted a girl whose ass is so big that's partly embarrassin' But fuck all the blushin' and fuck your discussions And fuck all the judgement Your content so aggressive lately, what's irkin' you? Shit is gettin' so personal in your verses too I wanna prove that I'm number one over all these niggas Bein' number two is just being the first to lose My city dictated music, nobody seein' us Winter here already but somehow I'm heatin' up Been observin' the game and felt like I've seen enough Let's drop a tape on these niggas then we'll see what's up Yea, boy you rappin' like you seen it all You rappin' like the throne should be the three of ya'll Best I Ever Had seems like a decade ago Decadent flow and I still got a decade to go Oh please, take at ease, where's the love and the peace Why you rappin' like you come from the streets? I got a backyard where money seems to come from the trees And I'm never ever scared to get some blood on my leaves Phantom slidin' like the shit just hit a puddle of grease I cook the beef well done on the double with cheese Special order for anybody that's comin' for me Shit you probably flinch if somebody sneeze You see they got me back like it's just 40, Oli, and me Cuttin' all loose ends, I be the barber for free I'm almost at four minutes going off on the beat Feel like I'm in the Malibu that had the cloth on the seats Man, oh you gotta love it And on top of that it's getting harder to eat Rappers downgrading houses Putting cars on the lease To think labels said they had a problem marketing me And now it's everybody else that's getting hard to believe Oh you gotta love it And head to toe I'm Prada covered I know your girl well, just not in public Blame the city, I'm a product of it Young nigga from the city You gotta love it
