In just a few moments, we will hear from the most powerful black man in America today Everybody I don't think you heard me Ayy yo The most powerful black man in the world Ayy yo They asked why I seem so solemn On the throne between three stone columns Y'all know the name, fuckin' up the game, no condoms Everybody goddamn first world problem The truth is inconvenient as non-believers Fearing DACA dreamers instead of FEMA Bentley, Benz or a Beamer, Fiji or Aquafina (Everybody, every goddamn body) We fuck around and be the next Iwo Jima The tides risin' at the same time like they synchronized For makin' art, for makin' love, for makin' Hajj The home is where the hatred lies, they takin' lives But everybody just so saved and sanctified Then they rely upon, we, the few defiant ones (Everybody, every goddamn body) Communicate in the higher forms than Viacom To dialogue before the raw or the riot horn I wonder on which side of the lines I belong? Lady Liberty face full of concealer SongtexteI'm half Masta Killa and half Hugh Masekela Latrophobia, that's a fear of the healer Kaepernick is an activist, y'all in fear of the kneeler Everything's obtuse, nothin' is obscene Another young life was lost on live stream Another great fell from grace in high esteem Then the clock struck thirteen, we in some kind of dream First, I'm handling first things Decipher what it means to a planet of earthlings Where the question remains, am I am journal or journalist? Herbal eternalist, olympic tournament level genius author, affirmative Though turnin' back and returnin', I'm not concerned with it The permanent ink paved the way out the turbulence My hands against the wall outside a billiards hall I hear police discussin' whether to try and kill us all I questioned if that would matter Life is like a tree that falls in the woods Even with iPhone footage to see it fall Great men chose the Papermate Pen or State Pen The firin' pin of a pistol aimed at a playpen We go from musket to a missile to a revelation (Everybody, every goddamn body) Between heaven and Satan, while I'm steady creatin' And try to separate the truth from the lies that they told us I even heard the Soviet's, the 45th POTUS That ain't the photo they showed us, or acceptin' the onus Did they Washington us?
