Culturally Woke

I got talent
And nobody knows it
I work hard and try to elevate
And I gotta show it
Because I write
And I thrive to survive
But die inside
When worthless artists
Take the recognition that
Should me mine
Just step aside
I’m tired of sitting on the sidelines
Running thoughts through my mind
Watching the world burn
And reading about celebrity suicide
And I ain’t got anything else better to do with
My time except write rhymes and screenplays
Worlds changing these days
Another way of life is just what I need
To stay awake and to quit bleeding jealously
Watching kids like me endlessly
Gain money and fame eventually
They got the world in their hand
All they do is expand
Their just talentless individuals feeding
Off of auto tune and flexing counterfeit jewels
They think their hotshots
But they’re just fools
That’s not talent
Or skill
Just manipulation and the thrill of being fake and unintelligent
Not wise an illegitimate
Not committed to the art
You don’t have a single drop of gratitude for the people with heart
The people who came before you
With all disrespect, your views are
Gonna get screwed real soon
Cause I’m gonna knock some sense into you ignorant prudes
Cause cheap dudes
Acting like you
Only ignite feuds like Drake and T
And I’m not sorry if I offended you
Or if your too blind to see
Cause your nothing without
The Lyft drivers
You just a survivor
Of your incompetent writers
Your hidden meanings are so hard to decipher
To listen to your songs
I gotta higher an analyzer
Your voice sounds like a broken synthesizer
So to all the Lil Tays, Lil Pumps, Tentacion, Trump, Romney, Harvey, Bill O’Riley, Vicky, Bregoli, Yachty, Tekashi and Kapri
The list goes on and on really
There’s something that’s seriously wrong with y’all
I’ll write my way out before I fall
And bury you in my rhymes
It’s all I have to offer of mine
And I’m not really a rapper
I might be wasting my life
No I don’t fit the type
I’m writing day and night
Like Spielberg on a caffeine high
This is America
And Glover knows all to well
I idolize that man
Now our country’s goin straight to hell
All we do is sit here and dwell on
Internet trends and photoshop
Followers, likes, tweets, comment mentions and snapshots
I’m giving you the spot for
Something to talk about
Something to write about
Something to listen to
With every sense of doubt
Barack could’ve done so much better then this crazy drought
I make a lot of sense you just can’t admit it without saying
That he’s a Muslim
And I got the rhymes to bust em
And I’ve got the strength to speak out
To the clown
Throwing minorities through customs
Waiting for his damn crown
Just sit down
Don’t make a sound
Snack on some tic tacs
If you think you’re so profound
Father Klansman would be so proud
Doggfather was right about
America with three k’s
Are you even allowed to zip your lips?
Or has the public gotten you that sick?
Or is it just tanning slips?
It’s astonishing it really is
The way you’re leading world tension
And dividing the feelings please
Stop the Russian interventions
You keep grabbing the peoples attention

(Spoken)

Wouldn’t be the only thing you grab

Oh did I strike a nerve?
Wait you don’t agree?
You just got roasted by a minor without a degree
I got the same honesty as TBS when it airs Sam Bee
These deaths are crippling me
From Puerto Rico to the Stephon Clarks murdered by the police
Oh y’all are killing me
You guys are as trustworthy as Fox News and Warren Beity
Miranda’s not throwing away his shot
And I ain’t either
I’ll show you just how smart I am
Without an IQ meter
I’ve never been a sleeper
Always writing and sketching and betting on my chances of rising and finding a reason to keep reading and leading myself to Hollywood
Hope everything is all good
When I’m done
You’ve never seen me up front
But I’m here now
And I’m about to plow through every politician on the ground
Like Jurraissic Park
You all belong in a zoo
That’s the definition of savage
Not the ice and the drug crew
Y’all are so attention hungry you’ll do anything to not lose
You amaze me you really do
Maybe you won’t listen to a kid like me, why should you
I’m overlooked
Misunderstood
If I could pay for a K-Dot feature you know I would
Then maybe you could
Listen to me
You didn’t even listen when Kaepernik took a knee
Understand it ain’t about the military
It’s about racial injustice
Turning white police officers carrying guns vicious and destructive
I’m sorry I have the confidence to talk about corruption
You can go back to hiding underneath your rock now
While I sit in silence as North Korea takes aim any second any way how
But I got your back till 3005
Cause I will no longer deprive myself
Of music, movies and pride
Throw activism into the mix
It’s time to fix
Our shattered society
We quietly start rivalries
Instead of focusing on priorities
Two eyes
One chance
To write a song by myself
If you don’t believe I wrote this on my own
Just check my UpWord for yourself
I’ll fight this battle till my legs start to tear and shatter
You best believe that I’m gonna matter
You won’t be able to compare me
To any of the others I listed before
Can’t scare me
I’m rising up
I’m not gonna ignore anymore
This democracy’s a nightmare
Tupac, your always in my prayers
Wish you were more aware
Cause now a citizen like you is dead
And the cops act all innocent
You stood up for what you believed in
Just like me
You got a brutal sense of honesty
They see the conspiracy as a comedy
And I flawlessly praise every mic that you raised
Because a revelation began in the legacy that you laid
Maybe that’s why I’m writing this verse to say
I humbly thank you
For all the poetry that you gave
Rest in piece at your grave
Your name will forever be engraved in history
We need more people who foresee
These types of tragedies
Stranger Things be happening in the cities
And only true artists will twist what we are made to believe
That’s why Millie made the Time 100 list
I know that girl will succeed
If only more young people would stand for what they know and what they need
And what they owe to humanity
Your eyes are twitching with greed
Logic is packing irony
That’s why he wrote anziety
To show us we ain’t alone
Pick up the phone and call somebody
Start a movement
You got the choice
Just like I had the choice to take shots at the big phonies running the concert clock
You know I got the shock
That I served to then
Now they can stumble to preserve their failure
Like Mama Don’t Worry, Gummo, and Gucci Gang, cut it out with that false hype slang
You ain’t gonna look the same
Once I’m done with this song
You perception is dead and wrong
Because stupid is the new turn on
You’ve never been strong enough to take a verse like this
I hope you hurt like this
Cause when you hear this track
Your gonna know that it ain’t work like this
You probably think I’m
Not qualified or solidified
To jeopardize the careers of a few
Worshipped and recognized people
When you didn’t even know my name until now
I’ll bust out my town
Like King Fu Kenny on the round table of legends
And maybe then
I’ll take my place in history
With my abilities
To create new worlds beyond this rap game
Today is a new day
Let’s just say this is part one
Now let’s talk about the fame
