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
The most powerful black man in the world
Ay, 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
I'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
