[Verse]
I remember 2004, I would tell the homies about you
And they was into 50 Cent and all the gangsta rap
I told 'em you would change the game, they couldn't take it back
You brought them soul samples back, man I could relate to that
I read the credits on Blueprint and saw your name on that
Your verse on check out The Bounce, man, you was flamin' cats
So I knew when yo' shit dropped it'd be some different shit
Some conscious rap with some real street nigga shit mixed wit' it
You didn't disappoint it was so intricate
You spoke for those at the bottom and really meant the shit
And when you mention chicks you would always mention your girl
And that told me that was the centerpiece to your world
Either that or yo' mama, the black queens you would honor
And that helped me throughout my relationships if I'm honest
I was a student of you, there's so much stuff that you taught us
And I never could forget all the classic hits that you brought us
But now-a-days I feel like maybe you just caught up
Forgot how you was brought up
Got your nose all up in the air like you are not us
And got the nerve to say that racism dead
But why don't you call up your buddy Trump and ask him
How come the prisons is all us?
Are we more prone to violence?
Are we more prone to do drugs than the whites is?
Man you don't see this crisis?
You don't see how police do these white kids
Shoot up the school, get arrested, gentle treated the nicest
How many brothers got shot to death with a phone on 'em
How do you reconside with they mama in those moments?
You know the system got a hold on us
But you'd rather fashion and ask 'em if they'll let you put clothes on 'em
I love you brother I'm just disappointed
You made Jesus Walks and we all thought you was annointed
I don't even believe in Jesus, but that's a different topic
I'd much rather hear you rap the gospel than rap the gossip
You gotta stop it dawg, this is not what hip hop is
You at the top but you disregarding the total populace
You know the words of Christopher Wallace, Mo' Money, Mo Problem
You gotta stay grounded or surround yourself with some pilots
That can help you through the turbulance
Disturbing since you told us it was in yo' blood to be different since yo' mama did sit ins
We don't want yo' opinions on politics, you not wit' us
Just made G.O.O.D. Music or good ridance
Just entertain us like you do for mass and them
Keep tap dancing and give us some guest appearances on Kardashians
Just be yourself that's all we ask of 'em
But please don't try to brainwash some artists around like Cyhi and Chance and them
Just a quick convo then I put this to rest
Sleep well just let us know when you wake up Mr. West
