i had for us

turned my dreams into dust

i watch a phone that

i had for us

turned my dreams into dust

i know obama was heaven-sent

but ever since trump won

it proved that i could be president

yeah you can

at what cost though?

don't that go against the teachings that ye taught for?

yo t.i.p. i hear your side and everybody talk though

but ain't goin' against the grain everything i fought for?

prolly so

ye

but where you tryna go with this?

it's some shit you just don't align with and don't go against

you just readin' the headlines

you don't see the fine print

you on some choosin'-side shit

i'm on some unified shit

it's bigger than your selfish agenda

if your election ain't gon' stop police from murderin' niggas

then shit. bruh

i never ever stopped fightin' for the people

actually wearin' the hat'll show people that we equal

you gotta see the vantage point of the people

what makes you feel equal makes them feel evil

see that's the problem with this damn nation

all blacks gotta be democrats

man

we ain't made it off the plantation

fuck who you choose as your political party

you representin' dudes just seem crude and cold-hearted

with blatant disregard for the people who put you in position

don't you feel an obligation to them?

i feel an obligation to show people new ideas

and if you wanna hear 'em

there go two right here

make america great again had a negative reception

i took it

wore it

rocked it

gave it a new direction

added empathy

care and love and affection

and y'all simply questionin' my methods

what you willin' to lose for the point to be proved?

this shit is stubborn

selfish

bullheaded

even for you

you wore a dusty ass hat to represent the same views

as white supremacy

man

we expect better from you

all them times you sounded crazy

we defended you

homie

not just to be let down when we depend on you

homie

that's why it's important to know what direction you're goin' now

'cause everything that you built can be destroyed and torn down

you think i ain't concerned about how i affect the past?

i mean

that hat stayed in my closet about a year and a half

then one day i was like

fuck it
