Kanye West — Crack Music Poetry Style

[Verse 1] How we stop the Black Panthers? Ronald Reagan cooked up an answer And people say, “Oh, Ronald Reagan’s that president” But type “Black Panther” and “Ronald Reagan” And see what you get Being that he was the governor of L.A Ronald Reagan cooked up an answer You hear that? What Gil-Scott was hearing Why all our heroes and heroines end up on heroin? Crack raised the murder rate in D.C. and Maryland We invested in that; it’s like we got Merrill lynched And we been hanging from the same tree ever since Sometimes I feel the music is the only medicine So we cook it, cut it, measure it, bag it, sell it The fiends cop it; nowadays, they can’t tell if… That’s that good shit? We ain’t sure, man Put the CD on your tongue; yeah, that’s pure, man [Chorus] That’s that crack music That real Black music La la la la la la la la La la la la la la [Verse 2] From the place where the fathers gone The mothers is hardly home And the maricóns lock us up in the Audy Home How the Mexicans say? “We just trying to party, homes” Who gave Saddam anthrax? George Bush got the answers Back in the hood, it's a different type of chemical Arm & Hammer baking soda; raised they whole quota Right when our soldiers ran for the stove 'cause 'Cause… dreams of being Hova Went from being a broke man to being a dopeman To being the President; look, there's hope man This that inspiration for the Moes and the folks man Shorty come and see his momma straight overdosing And this is the soundtrack This the type of music that you make when you 'round that Crack music!
