 His story is not my story

When it’s proven to be a fallacy

Sixty years and we're still here

Embodying the movement that you fear

 So get behind us satan with yo" conservative" tears

Cause it's Martin's dream we hold dear

And when you try to resurrect 

your hateful flex

 We personify the spirit of the honorable

50 Years of Hip Hop

 50 Years 4 your ears

Hip Hop it don't stop

Long live Kool Herc and all who put n the work

Doin' it 4 the culture.    Imitated by the vultures

Tryin' to steal what they couldn't feel

The funky drummer breaks on the Wheels Of Steel

The rebellious uprising from the cotton fields

It's all there  Were u unaware?  Yet u stop and stare at the hair

The walk, the talk, the souls 2 bare

Melodically, hypnotically

Seduced by the experience so it's gotta' be

The knowledge, the graffiti, the dance, the beats, the words

Where were u when u first heard

The feelin', the expression, the power, the call

The tribal street rhythm that now live n us all

On the shoulders of giants we all stand tall

Cause Hip Hop just turned 50 years ya'll

I Believe In You

I believe in you

 you'll always find a way to make it through

Through the mysteries of another day

Beyond the obstacles that get in the way

And though the road gets lonely at times

With motivation seeming hard to find

I pray these words ring honest and true

Because, my friend

I believe in you

Unchecked Bias

 Every belief has a bit of built-in bias

and if left unchecked

It may lead to ignorance, intolerance or even ruin

Affirmative

 Affirmative.  We get it

You're willing to lie to get your way

Like calling a program of inclusion a dangerous giveaway

The privilege folks legacy for mediocre good ol boys

Brought to you by the epitome of simple minded white noise

Scared, fearful, haunted, terrorized by a level field

The toxic insecurities of a shrinking majority's ugly head revealed

In its actions, its institutions, its lineage, its song

In its five out of touch bigots and its one tap dancing uncle thom

But we let it happen on our watch   Losing an inheritance of our kin

So wake up my people   Break the curse of the devil's sin

Rise up in economic power   And if higher education is what we do

Defund their backwards schools and fill the halls of HBCU's

Poor Lil Hate-Monger

 Poor lil hate-monger   Life just ain't fair

If you wanna steal classified documents  why should we care

Cause, you've done so much for us.  No one can deny

Even bringing us together by telling us, "There are good people on both sides"

And your birther accusation  what a great campaign. 

I mean, who can trust a black man by the name of Barack Hussein

Obama and Hillary treated Putin so bad

But you embraced his communist ways and for that we're glad

The chosen one  Heaven sent. That's fo sho

And the way you pronounce Two Corinthians let us all know

Your missions is clear  Your jobs ain't done

And altho' you have millions your supporters will gladly donate to your legal fund
