"Recently there has been an emergence of socially[00:00:05]
Conscious and political rappers It seems to be[00:00:07]
A new trend in the Hip-Hop world "[00:00:11]
Yeah check it uh[00:00:27]
Spot build-rocker lil' papa killed Hoffa[00:00:28]
Beard lil' longer feel strong and I'll stop ya[00:00:29]
Drill sergeant still thorough wheelbarrows of distilled vodka[00:00:31]
Get me real bonkers like Will Ferrell on cat tranquilizer[00:00:35]
Rap guys get bank and think they messiahs but they liars[00:00:38]
Vote fo who now You're red white and blue [00:00:41]
I'm American too but I ain't with the president's crew[00:00:44]
What you peddlin' and who you peddlin' to [00:00:46]
You ain't got the ghetto with you[00:00:48]
Try'na lead my sheep to the slaughterhouse[00:00:50]
Talkin 'bout +Rap the Vote+ you ain't thought about[00:00:52]
The black vote mean nathan who you gonna elect[00:00:55]
Satan or Satan In the hood nothin is changin uh[00:00:57]
We ain't got no choices who to choose[00:01:00]
Ten-years ago they were tryin to stop our voices[00:01:02]
And end Hip-Hop they some hypocrites[00:01:04]
Condoleeza Rice - I don't really get this chick[00:01:07]
Tell her if she ever really cared about poor schools[00:01:09]
About poor children then she gotta prove that she[00:01:12]
Ain't just another coon Uncle Tom fool[00:01:15]
Like these MC's gotta give 'em the rules[00:01:17]
Lie to the youth Uncle Tom you confused[00:01:19]
Might as well give the Hip-Hop community a noose[00:01:21]
Need a truce with the gangs and some food for the hungry[00:01:24]
On Kerry nuts he look at you like a monkey[00:01:27]
You MC's on that old slavery path[00:01:29]
The Bushs'll look at yo' a** and laugh[00:01:31]
See it's all about community let's help ourselves[00:01:33]
Cops brutalize us get dealt with with shells[00:01:36]
It's our turn it's 'bout time we win[00:01:39]
Need somebody as the hood as my councilman uh[00:01:41]

Up in the steam room chillin' exfoliating the skin[00:02:02]
It's rarely men conversatin' on ends probably businessmen[00:02:05]
I sense good taste and they watch us the spots an expensive place[00:02:08]
Manhattan New York I'm try'na keep steamin'[00:02:12]
It's good for the lungs had plans for the evening[00:02:15]
This man leans in his boys laughing[00:02:17]
Now I'm the spokesperson for Black men this always happens[00:02:19]
Says "Since all Black women care about is who got dough[00:02:22]
And all we do is call them either b**ch or a Black hoe"[00:02:25]
I say first brotha you ain't gotta be that cold[00:02:28]
Since you ignorant I'ma show you how the facts go[00:02:30]
The biggest example in scandal of history[00:02:32]
Were Monica Lewinksy or Donald Trump's pimping spree[00:02:34]
Most woman who love Jeevanji of Gucci[00:02:37]
Are pretentious non-Black groupies or floozies[00:02:40]
But who are we to blame not the dames[00:02:42]
It's a man-made game in essence our woman the same[00:02:44]
Beautiful creatures Black girls birthed the earth[00:02:47]
So they deserve to earn man's purse[00:02:49]
Matter fact I'm about to go shopping with my dime[00:02:51]
Catch you cowards the next time the next rhyme uh[00:02:53]

I don't care about who's gay[00:03:18]
I don't care about dying of AIDS[00:03:20]
But I care if I got paid[00:03:22]
Who even cares about the president [00:03:24]
I think they're making a mistake[00:03:26]
I don't care about the hurricane[00:03:29]
As long as my family's safe[00:03:32]
I don't care about the candidates[00:03:34]
They burnt this country to bits[00:03:37]
Yeah I think about this everyday that's the American Way ( Uh)[00:03:39]
