Inspired by the movie Bullworth, Politics is about the consequences of speaking the truth.
lyrics
You don’t mess with me cause you heard
That I’m mad rude and true to my word
I don’t talk small and don’t play no game
And I never remember your name
You heard I’m mean and talk some wild spit
Your girl ain’t never liked me one bit
But when you heard I messed with you and your click
You told your boy, “yo that girl can sure spit”
Well I ain’t into games and/or clicks
I talk real whether it’s dudes or it’s chicks
If I say something, bet it’s gon stick
And if I say nothing, I’m still that Miss
No matter where I’m at you know I’m the villain here
Talk is mad cheap, the run of the mill in here
If not messin’ with me is the new norm
Then I ain’t changing face or my form,
for the politics
And I’m wishing on a star that you would, yea
On Sunday A was mad cool with B
But B ain’t mess with C, D or E
And all three were having a party
And sent invites to A and not B
So B subtweeted C, D and E
And A saw and gave that a retweet
So C, B, E, A, F all got beef
But when they see each other, they all skin they teeth
Well I say if its bad on Sunday
Then we ain’t speaking on the Monday
And it’s on sight when on the subway
But that don’t mean we won’t chill like one day
My man say I’m always with that smoke
But I say energy is no joke
The real ones always link up, no rope
So don’t make me put rope round that throat cause of politics
And I’m wishing on a star that you would, yea
They say I’m too political
Politicians all intend on makin’ us divisible
Politics, they got me feeling miserable
Politics, they make me feel invisible
Politicians flip depending who is in their visual
Against the individual, with or without principle
They do the least, it’s pitiful; repeat it like a ritual
Smiling in your face, behind the scenes they get despicable
Got a couple votes because connections all familial
Politicians switchin’ on the promises they makin’
Caught up in some dirt but then they get exonerated
Avoiding conversation and debates that’s moderated
Incompetent but constantly keep getting elevated
Politicians often make the simple complicated
They profit when the advocates become unmotivated
Politics with labels, politics with entertainment
The politics: the only reason I’m not nominated
It’s the politics
And I’m wishing on a star that you would, yea
