Rent is too damn high (What?)
People working eight hours a day forty hours a week and a third job
(Watcha gonna do with all rent?)
Mothers can barely afford to feed their children breakfast lunch and dinner
If rent ain't too high in your state, something is high somewhere
Come and run with me
(Chorus 2X)
The Rent is too damn high
I said the Rent is too damn high
I'm Jimmy McMillan in 2013
I'm running for Mayor, come and run with me
(Verse)
It's been two long years since I've came on the scene
Now I'm back in the game, looking mean and lean
The race may be different, but the message is the same
RITDH is gonna change the game
Rent is too damn high
My mustache and hair cut is too damn fly
I'm on a mission again to give the people my word
That the rent around here is too damn absurd
Rent and the deficit is too damn high
Poverty and unemployment both up in the sky
Wages and education is too damn low
Economy recovery is too damn slow
This time we will change the game
If you're running with me then you know my name
The people of New York know I ain't no fool
I'm still talkin' 'bout rent and marrying shoes
(Chorus 2X)
The Rent is too damn high
I said the Rent is too damn high
I'm Jimmy McMillan in 2013
I'm running for Mayor, come and run with me
