Videoclip Jay-Z Minority Report

People was poor before the hurricane came 
But the down pour poured is like when Mary J. sang 
Every day it rains, so every day the pain 
But ignored them and showed 'em the rains was to blame 
 
But life is a chain, cause and effected 
Niggas off the chain because they affected 
It's a dirty game, so whatever is effective 
From weed to sellin' kane, gotta put that in effect 
 
Wouldn't you loot, if you didn't have the loot? 
Baby needed food and you stuck on the roof 
And helicopter swooped down just to get a scoop 
Through his telescopic lens but he didn't scoop you 
 
The next five days, no help ensued 
They called you a refugee because you seek refuge 
And the Commander-In-Chief just flew by 
Did he stop? No, he had a couple seats 
 
Just proved jet blue he's not, jet flew by the spot 
What if he ran out of jet fuel and just dropped? 
That woulda been somethin' to watch 
Helicopters doin' fly-bys to take a couple of shots 
 
Couple of portraits then ignored 'em 
He'd be just another bush surrounded by a couple orchids 
Poor kids just 'cause they were poor kids 
Left 'em on they porches, same old story in New Orleans 
 
Silly rappers, because we got a couple Porches 
MTV stopped by to film our fortresses 
We forget the unfortunate 
Sure I ponied up a mill, but I didn't give my time 
 
So in reality, I didn't give a dime or a damn 
I just put my monies in the hands of the same people 
That left my people stranded 
Nothin' but a bandit, left them folks abandoned 
Damn, that money that we gave was just a Band-Aid 
 
You can't say we better off than we was before 
In synopsis, this is my minority report 
Can't say we better off than we was before 
In synopsis, this is my minority report 
 
So many times, I'm coverin' my eyes 
Peekin' through my fingers, tryin' to hide 
My frustration at the way that we treat 
  (Seems like we don't even care) 
 
Turn on the TV, seein' the pain 
Sayin' such a shame 
Then tryin' to go on with my life 
Of that, I too, am guilty 
  (Seems like we don't even care) 
 
So we send a little money, tell 'em it's alright 
To be able to sleep at night 
You will pay that price 
While some of these folks' lost their whole life 
  (Seems like we don't even care) 
 
Now it wasn't on the nightly news no more 
Suddenly, it didn't matter to you no more 
It went in, almost nothing changed 
What the hell, what was that for? 
  (Seems like we don't even care) 
 
Seems like we don't even care 
Seems like we don't even care
