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
