Ye vs. the People (starring TI as the People) |
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 fu*kyour 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? |
