Uh huh, Friend of the People!!

Yeah, I mean c'mon. What the FUCK do I gotta do?

This one for the fans here Jack

I think I'm Malcom X, Martin Luther

Add a King, add a Junior

Some Bible verses, couple Sunnahs

An AK-47 that's a revolution!! (nigga)

Think I'm 2Pac, Bob Marley

Fela Kuti, Marcus Garvey

Them the real ones, light a lighter for 'em

Letcha know, that I'm ridin' for 'em

Gon' gimme some, a lil' more beat

Call yo' friends around, then call the police!

Im ridin' wit my flow, it take up four seats

So I'm gon' ghost ride, but with no sheets

One man by myself, even then I'm 4 deep

Like hotel swimming pools, that's 4 feet

These niggas like the rooms, so suite(sweet)

Priceline! so cheaaap

I'm the cell phone, they the room keys

I'm some shell toes, they some shoe strings

I turn 'em off, I take 'em out

I'm Reverend Run, with the laces out

Adidas, so adios

All day I dream, like I'm comatose

That's your ship sinking, and I'm so afloat

I'm T-Pain, I'm on a boat!!!

Not the slave one, Decaprio's either

Hear the waves come, they started in the bleachers

So I'm swag surfin', the pool's getting deeper

You still sweet though, here come them room keepers

Ok I'll be the strings, you be the shoes

But guess what (what?), now they Jimmy Choo's

I wear the pants, you in the pools

Yo shit meows, my shit AWOOOOOOOOO

I got a fifth flow, call me Brother Man

Africa the set, yea that's the motherland

For that BP, I shed 50 tears

In Nigeria that oil been spillin' for like 50 years!

Fifty years! Hell naww, hell yeahhh, tryina tell ya'll

At this rate, niggas gon' lose!

Can't search for water, or grow your own food!

Tell me what's gon' happen, when them stores close

And ain't gon open up, no more

Yeah that's the realest shit

You gon' feel dat, hungers yo' enemy

But you can't kill dat!

Nigga wake up, don't join the army

Kill your own peoples, but fear Illuminatis

And they ain't even real, or are they?

But you ain't even know, because you partay

Too fuckin much, if you start to doubt

They already in yo mind, and comin' out yo mouth

Its not a trick, nigga, it's a trap

Survival of the fit, is what they aiming at

And niggas ain't fit, fat as hell!

Fat in mind, body fat, as well

Who use most the drugs? Americans!

Whats in Afghanistan? heroin!

You think thats by mistake? They can't stop dat?

Don't think you safe though, because you not black

Greed is colorblind, so I'm colorblind

They gon' fuck with yours soon as they done with mine

They say I try to hard, verses overwhelm

I learned most of this, from niggas sittin' in jail

Where you think I'm from? I'm from the streets nigga!

Triple OG's told me to teach nigga!

And that ain't made up, nope! Thats a fact

They say that gangsta shit, is the shit I rap

Look who I attract, look at my inner circle

Bunch of street niggas, and a couple Erkles

Look at my fanbase! Oh yess!

Fuck what Pro say! Look at this protest!

Where they do that at? Who they do that for?

Must mean I'm doin' bad, and things is movin' slow

We talkin' revolution on public radio!

Then catch me down in Houston, sittin on them 84's

Trae wassup, ABN, gotcha back nigga, sink or swim

Free Chilly Chill, shake off yo' mastas

Pray to God; Build yo mind faster

I think I'm Malcom X, Martin Luther

Add a King, add a Junior

Couple Bible verses, and some Sunnahs

An AK-47 that's a revolution!! (nigga)

Think I'm 2Pac, Bob Marley

Fela Kuti, Marcus Garvey

Them the real ones, light a lighter for 'em

If you ain't know, I'm ridin' for 'em
