Cordae — Rap Politicians

[Intro: Malcolm X] For instance, the average so-called Negro, he doesn't think that he can go into business and provide jobs for himself And because of this, he thinks that he can only get a job from the White man Or he can only get clothes from the White man, or he can only get food from the White man [Verse 1] Uh, we're takin' over the the racist motive, the hatred's older The empire's retired, I'm just an ageist Yoda Get some powder and baking soda, don't take the culture They flip faster than racing motors. I'm made to blow up If you don't understand now, then you will later I'm from a place where they bust Glocks and steal paper Nah, I'm talking assassination, they kill mayors But can't overtake me because my skill's greater Rap politician.

And these are the niggas who make music Influence a generation, nobody relates to it Nigga, now you see the problem? Do you see the trouble? They're fucking up our brains for generational struggles That black waitress works doubles just to get by 'Cause her son needs some Jordans, dog, just to get fly I used to smoke an eighth a day, nigga, just to get high And Nelqueisha didn't get the job that Jessica got And when we get the 9 to 5s, we become satisfied Amend the rap politics.
