Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I had for us
You turned my dreams into dust
I watch a phone that, I had for us
You turned my dreams into dust

I know Obama was Heaven-sent
But ever since Trump won
it proved that I could be President
Yeah, you can, at what cost though?
Don't that go against the teachings
that Ye taught for?
Yo, Tip, I hear your side
and everybody talk, though
But ain't goin' against
the grain everything I fought for?
Prolly so, Ye, but where you
tryna go with this?
It's some shit you just don't align
with and don't go against
You just readin' the headlines
you don't see the fine print
You on some choosin'-side shit
I'm on some unified shit
It's bigger than your selfish agenda
If your election
ain't gon' stop police
from murderin' niggas, then shit...
Bruh, I never ever stopped
fightin' for the people
Actually, wearin' the hat'll
show people that we equal
You gotta see the vantage
point of the people
What makes you feel equal
makes them feel evil
See that's the problem
with this damn nation
All Blacks gotta be Democrats, man
we ain't made it off the plantation
Fuck who you choose
as your political party
You representin' dudes just seem
crude and cold-hearted
With blatant disregard
for the people who
put you in position
Don't you feel an obligation to them?
I feel a obligation to
show people new ideas
And if you wanna hear 'em,
there go two right here
Make America Great Again
had a negative perception
I took it, wore it, rocked it
gave it a new direction
Added empathy, care
and love and affection
And y'all simply questionin'
my methods
What you willin' to lose
for the point to be proved?
This shit is stubborn, selfish
bullheaded, even for you
You wore a dusty-ass hat to
represent the same views
As white supremacy, man
we expect better from you
All them times you sounded crazy
we defended you, homie
Not just to be let down
when we depend on you, homie
That's why it's important to know
what direction you're goin' now
'Cause everything that you built
can be destroyed and torn down
You think I ain't concerned about
how I affect the past?
I mean, that hat stayed in my closet
like 'bout a year and a half
Then one day I was like
"Fuck it, I'ma do me"
I was in the sunken place
and then I found the new me
Not worried about some image
that I gotta keep up
Lot of people agree with me
but they're too scared to speak up
The greater good of
the people is first
Have you considered all the damage
and the people you hurt?
You had a bad idea
and you're makin' it worse
This shit's just as bad as Catholic
preachers rapin' in church
Y'all been leadin' with hate
see I just approach it different
Like a gang truce
the first Blood to
shake the Crip's hand
I know everybody emotional
Is it better
if I rap about crack? Huh?
'Cause it's cultural?
Or how about I'ma shoot you
or fuck your bitch?
Or how about all this Gucci
'cause I'm fuckin' rich?
You'll deal with God for the
lack of respect
Startin' to make it seem like
Donnie cut you a check
Now you toyin' with hot lava
better be careful with that
What's it mean to gain the world
if you ain't standin' for shit?
Okay I gotta say it, Ye
you sound high as a bitch
Yeah, genocide and slavery
we should just try and forget
And all that free thought shit
find a better defense
But if Ye just stuck in his way
he can leave it at that
Fuck it

Alright, Tip, we could be
rappin' about this all day
man, why don't we just cut
the beat off
and let the people talk?
