What They Want

So you want to hear some rap shit?
So you want to hear some rap shit?
Give'em what they want, give'em what they want.
Give'em what they want, give'em what they want.

When I think of rap shit I think of blackness, activist!
Like that sista', Angela Davis!
Mohammed Ali knockouts are the greatest!
Jackie Robinson, gospel, and the nation.
So what's the latest? Check the wack playlist.
Don't hear city slick cipher science
Spittin' ghetto frustrations! Listen to this:
I want to hear Hip-Hop ethnic consciousness.
Don't care if ya ballin', kid, or catchin' cases.
I ain't hating; ain't pumping fashion. Monopoly blatant.
Who's paying radio stations for hourly rotations?

So you want to hear some rap shit?
So you want to hear some rap shit?
Give'em what they want, give'em what they want.
Give'em what they want, give'em what they want.

When I think of Hip-Hop I think of blackness and B-bop.
Billy Holiday, Chuck D., and Scott La Rock!
City street blocks, outlined bodies with chalk,
One-times swooping up like hawks.
Graff crews, bailing burners getting props,
Fat laced Pumas step to mark the spot.
Asiatic ebony faces get shocked when
They witness my pigment and penship shocked.
No special effects, just developed text.
This is a way of live live and direct!

So you want to hear some rap shit?
So you want to hear some rap shit?
Give'em what they want, give'em what they want.
Give'em what they want, give'em what they want.
