I'm the most aggravated under-rated MC,
yet you wish you could learn to tap the flow like me;
and I'm targetin',
all the fake ethos and charlatans.
Compromisin':
something Ayn Rand would marvel in.
Flockin':
ducks in straight lines they walking in'.
Plagiarizen':
Vice President Joe Biden'.
So we ponderin':
what'll it take to change this continent.
For your sake, listen to this shake down philosophin':
want to waste your life naked in a garden froliking?,
never breaking free church's faulty logicin',
not forgiving sinners but defending their right to sin,
figuring their transgressions will be forgiven in heaven,
neglecting to strive for a better world to live in,
feeding the poor's belly while their mind is starvin';
science found a fault, oh my, here we go again:
no chips, just clips, so no bargainin',
like gnostics and witches - with holy fire they silence them -
never mind the truth, best intentions they all claimin'.
Never considered the message of K'NAAN the Somalian.
Says the poet of Somali,
love and truth never faulty
hungry fools build an army
war is only for the haughty
consequence considered hardly
so long as you get a bently
striving to create the life of a mother fuckin' Barbie!
You probably don't know,
"A hungry mob is an angry mob" said the late great great Bob Marley
