Macro Mode: A Macroeconomic Version of "Sicko Mode"
Gone on you with those OMO’s
Young Greenspan, he in macro mode
Made this here with the reserves up in the bank
At the Fed Reserve, when they pull up, I print some cash
Yeah, sell some bonds, when Donny lowering the tax
Demand is way too big, when we pull up we sell some bonds
(Sell me the bonds!)
Had to increase greatly, the interest rates
Had to cut the money, by selling bonds
Commander in Chief, he boosted spending
Now it's 4AM and I’m back up selling all the bonds
I just landed in, raising the reserve requirement
Different ratio, think my banks are giving out some loans
And they making bread, know the banks are charging interest rates
Some-some-some, someone said
When taxes increase, we all in too deep
P-p-purchase the bonds, don't sell the bonds (someone said)
When taxes increase, we all in too deep
P-p-purchase the bonds, don't sell the bonds (yeah)
These bonds way too big, y’all know I don’t sell them off
Janet Yellen, she doesn’t even have a clue
All of this cash, I made off bonds I produced
I might take all my bonds and put ‘em all in a fund
Need to lower, the discount rate
‘Bout to turn inflation, to Venezuela
Told em, unemployment, is going down
In the 202, Fed members call me Uncle Al
(Don’t stop, print that money)
Had to stop the money, from growing fast
She said “where we goin’?” I said, “The Fed”
In the long run, we’re all dead
She thought I’m running fiscal, I’m monetary
I don’t impose taxes, I don’t levy
Who controls the money, I’m the dude (interest rates)
I’m trying to keep inflation rates at 2
Interest rates (Buyin’ the bonds)
Interest rates, we want stable interest rates
(Don’t sell off the bonds)
Yeah
Macro
Yeah, yeah
Greenspan, bring employment up (Ay, ay)
Fed’s in love with discount rates
Back in ‘02 I used to take loans from the bank
Now I hit the Fed Reserve with bonds in my hands
I made half a plan, to boost aggregate demand
Had me buying all the bonds, ayy, yeah
All the bonds, ayy, yeah
All the bonds, ayy
Ceased capital flight, ayy
With financial might, ayy, treasury securities, man
This bank got excess reserves, man
I still got loans to settle, man
I crept through the fed (through the fed), bought a bond (yeah, bond)
Discount rates (yeah, what?) raise the price (yeah)
Loaners think it’s cheap, (nah, nah), that’s not right (yeah, what?)
Looking nice (yeah), investment looking nice (aww, man)
Donald Trump (yeah), bonds over stocks
That’s what I like (yeah), that’s what we like (yeah)
Lost my respect, stock not a threat
When I sell my stocks, I make bank like I’m Warren (Buffet!)
See the shares that I claimed (ayy), clever like I’m Keynes (ayy)
Sharp like I’m Mankiw, I be sellin’ stocks
Selling stocks til i’m dizzy (yeah, what)
Global warming (yeah, what)
Like a free lunch (yeah, yeah)
There’s no such thing (yeah)
Fed’s in love with discount rates
Back in ‘02 I used to take loans from the bank
Now I hit the Fed Reserve with bonds in my hands
I made half a plan, to boost aggregate demand
