[Intro]
Good morning Vietnamerica
I don’t mean to stare at ya
Or scare ya, see
I just wanna play your carrier
And if you’re wary, that’s very a-okay player
'Cause I got a knack for acting up on a track
And I won’t be backing up
[Verse 1]
Come hither my chitterlings
I wanna take you and make you all Queens
And Kings, on this rock that we on
We’re cells, we roam like phones
Mobile! You got a right to life and live
Ah Ah! Not - gonna take no shit
From powers that be, who sour the sea
Sully the air, they don't think we're aware
Hands up! What the fuck are they on?
I guess they don’t think we can peep that long
Con of the Dumbo and ass in the room
No political party can guard my Black body
Oh no!
So if the rich wanna diss
Then I’ll grab my dick with a fist like this
And piss in the pool of the class that rules
When they looked all upside my head I said
[Chorus]
Hey man! We so outta line
We can’t be saved, y’all ran outta time
I’m just an example, prime
One paradigm way out of his mind
And I don’t know when this life might end
But we’ll go as hard as we can till then
Aight?
[Verse 2]
Some law wanna pause our pulse
Yeah law wanna blow our minds!
Out - And it’ll cost them a bill
But they still get to go home, chill
Cold as an igloo too, when they get you, got!
Bold as the issue, I kid you not
And I’ve got the proof in the snack pack bruv
Black rap fits Pat just like a glove
I got much love for the drum
The beast in me must howl at the moon
Soon, maybe ‘round opposite of noon
Ooh, ain’t no more room on the broom
So when I go zoom like the Amblin logo
Just know, gravity's a no-no
Po-po pursue the super in slow-mo
Nana Nana Nina Na, can't catch me
I ate the flesh, and I drank the blood
Thanked all the Yanks, faked all the hugs
But I'm African-American man!
Known as the Negro, piecing the Legos
You keep the Eggo, let go the ego
Insert your halo straight up your A-hole, stat
Through the O-ring, past the crack
Suppose I'll pass on the master's hat
‘Cause needless to say, I'm beautiful! Duh goddammit!
But I wanna be one of the
Brothers that live on infinite beyond a song
Oh what a breeze! If you feel like a fire then set one
Got no heart? Go and get one
If you make them nervous, learn this
When they show signs of disturbance, just say
[Chorus]
Hey man! We so outta line
We can’t be saved, y’all ran outta time
I’m just an example, prime
One paradigm way out of his mind
And I don’t know when this life might end
But we’ll go as hard as we can till then
[Refrain]
Hey Man! Hey Man! So outta line, so outta line
Hey Man! Hey Man! Ran outta time, ran outta time
Hey Man! Hey Man! Outta my mind, outta my mind
Hey Man! Hey Man! Hey Man!
Goddammit

[Intro]
I spend a lot of time thinkin' all the shit I’m thinkin'
Motherfuckers wonder why they never see me on weekend
We ain’t in the same pool fool, now peep the fucking teachin'
You shallow - Battle cannonballs into the deep end
By unpopular demand
But what I been through’s what I wrote through
I cuss, fuss, but courteous as fuck when I approach you
This album's an outburst
Some criminal, some political
None minuscule, I been a tool
Synonym for I been to school
But I just kept dropping out
And now I’m now I’m dropping in like, like, like
[Verse 1]
Battle up!
It's time to get this fucking monkey off of my Black
It's funny that I never seem to make any money off of these tracks
My prerogative is prerequisite
First set the temp, next pen the script
Then run through it, run through it, one run just won't do it
After that, to the lab, mic a nigga up, he free to jab
Put a choke hold on the woes that's on my mind and on my soul
And whip up raps, attack these track from front to back
It's no wonder that it's no fun to Pat
It's too simple, drunk on the Jack, I'm too nimble
Too quick, stupid
If you can convince me you sick
I promise you I'll dive dick-first into a pulpit full of toothpicks
I'm a pit bull with a loose grip on my human pet, my monologue
He know the language, I hold the anguish
I'm dope as fuck, he kinda raw
I don't mind the awe, I don't find it odd
I know I'm a riot, that's why I’m so quiet
When the bar is set and I bench that
They all know they can't bench Patrick
I'm out of my cage, and out of patience
In other words that’s malpractice
You shitty rappers all oughta meet up at the mall, practice
[Chorus]
'Cause this is fucking it, what they said I'd never make
Now I'm gonna go ape, smash these rappers like grapes
King Kong, sing along, yo team strong? Bring it on
You ding dongs'll be gone, so long, with no re-spawn
You keep on, probable cause for me to get my creep on
Slip into your sheets and pee on the pillows you sleep on
Your dreams can be serene as a scene that you plant a tree on
I convert buzz into nightmares, I've never seen a light year
[Verse 2]
I was born on the set of a porn with a set of horns
This human life is boring, thus I'm seeking something foreign
So I'm in hell with infidels, face fuckin’ Satan, alternatin'
Any demons try escapin’ we chase 'em and fuckin' rape 'em
Hallelujah! Renegade angel
The reverend in this church, not a feather you can touch
These black wings whisper different psalms above my palms
Yeah it sucks to wanna be sharp, when you also gotta be clutch
Will the rhymes impress 'em? Keep 'em second guessin'?
My impression? That's irrelevant
We in the same room, you don't see that fucking elephant?
The damage done to my fellow nig? Shit, it’s irreparable
So explain to me how a rhyme of mine upset you bitch
I dare you to
The fuck I'm witholdin’ got me emboldened, I'm feeling golden
Homie I'm rollin' up both of my sleeves
I'm ready to roll up on any MC who can’t
Parlay that party into the melee as they say
So tell the White House Mayday! Let’s spray ‘em down with an AK
Just fucking around y’all, JK
This is me in my heyday, no time or place for no nay say
Believe, I ain’t even afraid they
Could mislay my display as simple play, oh no but it ain’t
Miscalculatin' my reverberation is a mistake
So misconceptions, spread 'em, accept ‘em into your rectum
I mean it, like all the way over
Bend it like Beckham, just for a second
Don’t sweat the technique, you can’t defeat this fresh freak
With your best heat on your best beat, on a blessed day
I’m the sensei, what does sense say when it’s speaking me
Previously, in the United States we were inferior beings
What does that mean?
Given the steam that I bring when I swing at the machine
What could it spell?
Aw well, hell, look at a rebel rebel
[Chorus]
'Cause this is fucking it, what they thought I'd never make
Now I'm gonna go ape, smash these rappers like grapes
King Kong, sing along, yo team strong? Bring it on
You ding dongs'll be gone, so long, with no re-spawn
You keep on, probable cause for me to get my creep on
Slip into your sheets and pee on the pillows you sleep on
Your dreams can be serene as a scene that you plant a tree on
I convert buzz into nightmares, I've never seen a light year
[Verse 3]
You couldn’t swallow the diabolical serum
'Cause your antidotes are bogus, too easy to engineer ‘em
I took a break, but I’m a rap addict
Now I’m back at it like a crack habits
It’s haphazard, my bad manners
Make bad rappers straight crap pampers
I’m the answer to what the fuck
You get when you spit and don’t give a shit
I ain’t limited none, this shit ain’t no fun
It’s work, and I’ma work you
Yeah I may sound like a dick, but picture this, it’s just the tip of it
Full of contradictions, yeah you don’t know the three-fifths of it
So Call Me By Motherfucking Rap Name Nigga!
Apologies, sometimes when I decompress, I’m kind of a T-Rex
‘Cause I sho’ ain’t opening doors with this flow that I’ve composed
With this in your face prose you either decode or detest
So pass this shit along like it’s AIDS in the eighties
I ain’t trying to be shady, already shaded in baby
And to have the shade I’m parading
Will make you fucking go ape, G
But this rap shit’s like 8-bit, too easy for me to go ape shit
[Chorus]
'Cause this is fucking it, what they thought I'd never make
Now I'm gonna go ape, smash these rappers like grapes
King Kong, sing along, yo team strong? Bring it on
You ding dongs'll be gone, so long, with no re-spawn
[Bridge]
Uh, I’m also an icon living
I’m lyin’ - I’m more like a bright star dyin’
That’s why my shit shines as an artist, think about it
All we do is give you contrast to the darkness all around us
And go boom!
[Chorus]
'Cause this is fucking it, what they said I'd never make
Now I'm gonna go ape, smash these rappers like grapes
King Kong, sing along, yo team strong? Bring it on
You ding dongs'll be gone, so long, with no re-spawn
You keep on, probable cause for me to get my creep on
Slip into your sheets and pee on the pillows you sleep on
Your dreams can be serene as a scene that you plant a tree on
I convert buzz into nightmares, I've never seen a light year
Throwing barrels

High In Every Area

[Verse 1]
Come figure it out
Unravel what Pat Battle's album's about
If you retain doubt, I'll pave you a route
The people who made me came from the South
Mama and Papa picked cotton as kids
How is it proper, me shopping at Lids?
The bid that they did won them no compensation
We own this whole nation by right, I ain't playin'
Debate It - Is it insane or is it funny?
Patrons of a country with a rapist on the money?
Trying to negate this place must burn?
While they waste each space to the base of the urn?
Well I'll stay stern while I wait my turn
State my terms with the weight they've earned
My fate I've learned is a case concerned with race
Confirmed by the state I spurn, thus
[Chorus]
I raise my freak flag high in every area
The kind that take you to the cemetery, bury ya'
Wave it in disagreement when they say I pledge allegiance
God bless our youth America
[Verse 2]
Viddy well kiddies
Whether riding with a semi, or cycling on a Divvy
Be privy to the idiosyncrasies in the city
It's gritty in the inner vicinity - That's shitty
To me, and to every other man it oughta be
But only if he demonstrates the proper qualities
'Cause Pat Battle's a radical, think in the mathematical
If I could do have the shit I say I'd take a sabbatical
Stab a couple of cops in the clavicle with a cleaver
Shit on the lawn of Congress and vomit a ton of jaundice and leave it
The reason that I'm being so facetious in my pieces?
The thesis of our freedom isn't peaches
Run down the list of everything that ain't kosher
Any of it new to you at all? No Sir
You pose the question - Where do we get aggression?
Our ancestors couldn't say much more than "Yessum"
So fuck a holy hymn, peep the pandemonium
The podium is slimy like it's live at Nickelodeon
This isn't my voice, I'm a vessel, I'm a host
Hip isn't my poise, I don't wrestle with an oath
I represent a few ideas you should hear
First tell your masters, that after this year
We capture their fear with some raps in their ear
While the Blacks and the Queers have a laugh and beer
[Chorus]
I raise my freak flag high in every area
The kind that take you to the cemetery, bury ya'
Wave it in disagreement when they say I pledge allegiance
Don't believe a thing they're selling ya'
[Verse 3]
I wish you'd admit it
Your heroes are villains, they rape and they pillage
Desecrate villages, made up of innocent
Citizens different, bombs indiscriminate
Limited images infiltrate censorship
Benefits trickle up into the one percent
Primitive passion of criminal factions
Passin' an act as a biblical action
Fuck all you bastards, burst into flame
We'll torch every mansion, curse every name
Choke all them folks who invoke and quote
From that joke of a book to evoke all your hopes
The church and the state can both go up in smoke
No I haven't misspoke, I'll defend what I wrote
So give me a reason to not commit treason
You got the floor to make peace, but you won't
So pass the soap
I feel so gross when they ask me to vote
That fantasy hope is a fallacy hoax
Majestic malaise, don't be mad at the host
I just gotta release a grievance whenever heathens sing
I Pledge Allegiance
God Bless Our Youth America!
[Chorus]
I raise my freak flag high in every area
The kind that take you to the cemetery, bury ya'
Wave it in disagreement when they say I pledge allegiance
Don't believe a thing, don't believe God
[Refrain]
Say a prayer for the youth of America
Say a prayer for the youth of America
Say a prayer for the youth of America
Say a prayer for the youth, say a prayer for the youth
Say a prayer for the youth of America
Say a prayer for the youth, say a prayer for the youth
Say a prayer for the youth of America
Don't believe a thing they're selling ya'

[Chorus]
They telling me that and they selling me this, I resist
You come with that lip, I don't trip, I insist
Get the fuck out my face with that shit
Uh-huh, okay, yeah yeah, alright
[Verse 1]
Follow no leader and bow to no king
Pray to no god, wake up from that dream
You stick with that scheme, you a punk fish swimming upstream
Against the shit machine, my funk fit's picking up steam
No idols excite me, they ain't even like me
They lie to me pridefully, daily and nightly
Strike me as hustlers, them ads that they run
Let's hang all these fuckers, they masters of none
But everywhere I go, they all in my ear
Infiltrate all my fears and then bathe in my tears
My statement this year is abrasive, but clear
I may be severe, but I'll play it sincere because
[Chorus]
They telling me that and they selling me this, I resist
You come with that lip, I don't trip, I insist
Get the fuck out my face with that shit
Uh-huh, okay, yeah yeah, alright
[Verse 2]
Aw, shit! I'm sick of Black music!
It's useless! You rappers all front, but don't do shit!
Moaning all your lyrics, grown male bitches
Diving in for riches
When you should be digging ditches for yourselves
Punk ass motherfucking tap-dancing Sambos
Stand right next to that Klansman
We don't need to waste no ammo
Two birds, one stone, bro I got one mode
Go hard or go home, this road here is my own
When I get my rhyme on, your icons be bygone
Cowardly lions, get the fuck off my lawn
Progressive I live, but no fucks left to give
So when White women Whitesplain what Mansplaining is
I'm like, bitch do I look like your global oppressor?"
Where you think I learned the word bitch from, Kenya?
Keep guessin'
This language that we anguish with ain't even ours
And neither are
The streets, cars, weed or tar, drinks, bars, links or cause
Think and pause before you pin it all on a little nigga talk
That's English you penis, we Negroes rip it off
So opinions, advice, criticisms, all types
You can pitch 'em, that's nice, but I dig no device
Infringing on my right to get hype, wanna fight
I toss and I turn with concern in the night
I like that I struggle, I hate that I struggle
No break from this puddle encased in my bubble
Misplaced in this shuffle my layers grow grayer
Exhaling like Vader, I trouble naysayers
But everywhere I go, they all in my ear
They bathe in my tears, infiltrate all my fears
My statement this year is abrasive, but clear
I may be severe, but I'll play it sincere, 'cause they
[Chorus]
They telling me that and they selling me this, I resist
You come with that lip, I don't trip, I insist
Get the fuck out my face with that shit
Uh-huh, okay, yeah yeah, alright
[Verse 3]
Yes, Many persist like they can't take a hint
Get the fuck out my face! Are you reading my lips?
Do you walk what you talk with them sweet politics?
When you sick of the script, pages blaze and get lit
Get a grip, take a hit, from the tip of the brain
Some limp into the barn on some charm I can't attain
But my arms are plenty long, so any song that I be on
It isn't wrong, but ain't quite right
Like a bright white for a night-light
The nightlife of the nigro is intro'd to the limelight
And it all hangs on the White hype
Though they might gripe and they might bite
So I psyche mics in the twilight
Write nice, but I write left and a hard left
Like a harness hauled all night to the far right
Then I let it go like the letter 'O'
When I know a fucking rapper edible
Whether credible or with no credit bro
I'ma get a bowl and in my belly go
The many itty bitty hideous souls
Seeking the fold, being the mold
Yellow as pee in the snow
Be in the know? None of you I need to know
No! Stubbornly shaking my fist as if it's with a rubbery wrist
My people been utterly pimped
Luxury gimps, notice we subtly limp
Suddenly thuggery isn't so dense
A summary tense, a bloody event, nobody repent
My buddy I'm bent, my grumpy lament, no money intent
I'm running against the funniest list
Of dummies and pricks whose money resents
The sacrifices that our vices had to pay your prices
And with license I incite this as a spite to all your crisis, like
Too too little, too too late, G-T-F-O-M-F
[Chorus]
Y'all telling us that, while you selling us this, eat a dick
You better off pleading the fifth, what is this?
Get the fuck out my face with that shit
Uh-Huh! Okay! Yeah Yeah! Alright!
They telling me that and they selling me this, I resist
You come with that lip, I don't trip, I insist
Get the fuck out my face with that shit
Uh-huh, okay, yeah yeah, alright
Whoo! When we in rebellion what we tell 'em?
[Refrain]
Uh-huh, okay, yeah yeah, alright
Uh-huh, Uh-huh, Uh-huh, Uh-huh
Uh-huh! Okay! Yeah Yeah! Alright!
Uh-huh, Uh-huh, Uh-huh, Uh-huh
That's some bomb shit

[Verse 1]
Oh shit, Pat's at it again!
Making white folk mad in a panicky bend!
Best of luck, if had a fuck, wouldn't give it up
For the feelings of the children of the ones who gave the whippings
I'm motherfucking Black, and I'm motherfucking proud
Motherfucking loud! Can you fuckers hear me now?
Your reign on the top just stopped, peace privilege
And it should be given that I'm livin' my opinion
But you're quite livid - Why, you didn't get it?
I'm sorry, can't relate, I got a lot up on my plate
I exist in a space when my case to exist
Is a pace and a skip to the grave from the crib
And it's not your fault if an ancestor got mad pleasure
From my people's displeasure with the leather
But whip me into shape in a debate around race?
You best vacate, go and turn about face
"How he gone behave? Now why's he in a craze?"
Look bitch, it's a free world, what you want me to say?
I apologize if you feeling sodomized by the thought of my
Rebel ways, let me fortify the phrase, rebel ways
So if you ain't privy to rebel rage, you ain't seen shit yet
Call my bluff, place bets
If I ain't fucking fell on my Black face yet
And y'all still uptight - I must be doing something right, 'cause
[Chorus]
With so much drama in the world today
It's kinda hard being B-L-A-C-K
They hanging onto every little word I say
Looking for me to slip up, to persecute a nigga
But this Black brother ain't bending over backwards
I'm not your boy and no you're not my master
So, back the fuck up, and don't catch feelings
Your reaction is revealing, but it ain't all that appealing
[Refrain]
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! You mad? You mad?
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Too bad! Too bad
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! You mad? You mad?
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Who's bad?
[Verse 2]
"Stop that Black guy!" I don't like what he said
Well stop these cops, I don't like to be dead
And I don't like to be fed that liberal bullshit
All lives matter? I'm sorry, what's the matter?
I've lost my place in this great American novel
I missed the part on White plight, but what do I know?
The burden of a man? Determined by his hands
And the pigment that is in 'em - It wasn't my invention
Drok said never let a White man give you trouble
And that motherfucker German, I ain't living in a bubble
Humble when I wanna be, not when you want me to be
And if that ain't case, tell my G's we was never free
And ready up a riot, fuck it, we already dyin'
'Cause these White niggers flipping over gluten free diets
While these triggers steady pryin', every politician lyin'
Yeah I'm violent - Wanna deny my rights? Come and try it
[Chorus]
With so much drama in the world today
It's kinda hard being B-L-A-C-K
They hanging onto every little word I say
Looking for me to slip up, to persecute a nigga
But this Black brother ain't bending over backwards
I'm not your boy and no you're not my master
So, back the fuck up, and don't catch feelings
Your reaction is revealing, but it ain't all that appealing
With so much drama in the world today
It's kinda hard being B-L-A-C-K
They hanging onto every little word I say
Looking for me to slip up, to persecute a nigga
But this Black brother ain't bending over backwards
I'm not your boy and no you're not my master
You beat around the bush, like pervert outside a window
I'm weeded on the kush and indo, okay
[Verse 3]
Seriously, if what you're fearing is me
You ain't hearing the pleas, you don't wanna believe
There's millions of motherfuckers just like me
D-D-Do the math bastard, it's not just me
You dummies can't see, though articulate and innocent
I helm from a family of hell, mad niggerish
Gotta spit ridiculous for you to understand
That I've seen some shit couldn't dream, goddamn
But Eurocentricity's a mystery to me
A disease, blinds you from what you oughta see
Kid please, I can wipe my ass with your degree
You think that piece of paper gone save you? Shit
The nature of your nutriment's a little segregated
You live it, you defend it, you were never meant to change it
And any fella questionin' the state of your arrangement
You holla 'bout equality when you ain't never gave shit
Contrast between that and everything you've taken is stark
The answer to where we gonna start
In why this conversation's never taken place
And your Facebook face ain't the same when in your basement
We know what you be saying, We ain't playing, I'm reporting
It's important I implore a little wisdom while recording
These punk motherfuckers support every sport
They'd cower if a power forward stepped on they porch
Or perhaps I got the torch, going forth on a witch hunt
Ain't gotta name names, they're relevant this much
Zip cunts, the thighs of your guise are closed
Ain't fucking my culture 'round me, no more
And if it's awfully awkward for all of ya, call up a therapist
Tell her how fragile your peril is
And how oppressin' my ebon-expression is
Wait, what's the lesson? Forgot what the question is

What I Should Say
05:33
|
|||
[Verse 1]
This is a declaration, definitely decorated
Audio authentication via verbal affidavit
I’m here to testify, rectify the death of my genre
The thoughts I ponder they roam yonder
Y'all wander in and out of these various social areas
Barriers that I'm stuck behind, I find it quite nefarious
America's character doesn't fit its own narrative
The damn Grand Dragon used to stand where the sheriff is
I was born near the end of the Reagan days
Came of age in the Bush years, the era of “Push Fear”
Now that I’ve matured, I’m only sure of one thing
We failed to make real Dr. King’s one dream
So this is for the White sheep riding to the beat
And my Black peeps who prompt them to cautiously cross the street
Often we fall asleep behind the wheel of perception
But I'm rhymin' wide awake drivin' a stake into affections
The soul of these blues be the rhythm of the feeble
If it don't reflect back that, it isn't Black people
If it's shuckin' and it's jivin' just like an average Negro
I bet you that behind it is a European ego
We control not a thing, not a scene in this production
American corruption, the function of our destruction
A race war ain't a far fetched thing, face it
Way I see it going down’s everybody versus the racists
The sexists too, coming up next is you
And the homophobes, get rid of them all, clear the globe
When coloreds, gays and women are made out to be the villains
Little Dylan feels like a victim, and engages in killin'
Where's Jigga with his opinion? See we able and willin'
To take an innocent position in a candlelight vigil
Need a torch for my civil rights in spite of these civic wrongs
Give my all, leg and arm, every single song, I
[Hook]
Thought long and hard 'bout what I should say
Yaddy-Yadda-Ya B-B-B-Blah B-Blah
Nana-Na-Na-Na Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha -Ha
I thought long and hard 'bout what I should say
Never sold my soul, no no I hold my own
I go on and on on and on and on
[Verse 2]
Pick a dinner pot, I'll stir up the thickest plot
Should we spit some filler pop?
Or go Killer Croc on these killer cops?
Too many ass wipes grab a mic and play it safe
I'll keep it light in the next life on a later date
Ain’t afraid to demonstrate estimations that instigate
Wasn't bred in the States? I doubt you even get it Drake
Gummy bear soft lyricists ain't sure if it's
The very last days or a scary new wave
Either way, they lack rudeness to enact improvement
Associate with real Black movement? They ain't that stupid
I give a fuck if this stuff has a catch to a critic
You can lick my butt - What? This is rap music
Quit giving dap to them asshats who can't do it
Line them up in tandem, I'll stamp them out in a tantrum
Tall, dark, and handsome, hold fans for ransom
This letter is an anthem, you can tell by the header that I
[Hook]
Thought long and hard 'bout what I should say
Yaddy-Yadda-Ya B-B-B-Blah B-Blah
Nana-Na-Na-Na Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha -Ha
I thought long and hard 'bout what I should say
Never sold my soul, no no I hold my own
I go on and on on and on and on
[Verse 3]
Now I thought long and hard about what I should say
Figured I might lose a friend or two or three on the way
But dude there’s so much fucking fakery and evil today
And if you can’t relate, just think of me as Neo, okay?
I perceive reality mathematically and actually
The Earth is overpopulated, though you’re obligated
Not to say that incarceration’s a way to do away with
Populations that you can’t exterminate
Because the Nazi nation made it obvious
When explicit it isn’t permitted
Now it’s subtle, but it’s still trouble, people still feel it
If I should fall, you can crawl to where I fell
Watch me hop back on the horse to continue the course
My talk sky walks, I'ma give you the force
Surface level ain't my purpose, I get into the source
I ain't programmed for slow jams, no ma'am
My truth is my proof, I'm tied to, I'll likely try to
Resuscitate White youth
Hi dude, I invite you
To fight through the spite that I might gripe on the mic
It’s all hype, but if you dig through the pain and the energy
Even an enemy could potentially be a friend of me
It’s Teclas Negras y P Batalla, Musica Negro, taking you higher
To levels that ain’t low enough for the devils of treble
Who sonically got a lot on me, but ironically never
Say the things I gotta say in the way that I say them
To the people I say them to, with the medium I say it through
Peep my little album once, give it like a day or two
Return and then confirm that what you learned was what you earned
And if you're missing all this stuff you ain’t listening hard enough
I don’t mean to be berating you, afraid these are the terms
Set by my predecessors, professors in my profession
I’m steppin' in the direction of reverence for their methods
But I question everything, never lessen the hunger buddy
'Til those that I study under are bumped to my understudies
What a lovely little feeling to not have to be appealing
To hype - Skip lunch, make rap, fuck what you like
It goes, it goes, it goes, it goes GUILLOTINE!
I’m feeling mean - Monster killa, Godzilla - Pantone Gila Green
My inner scheme, a blue score, suited for this Black life
They end me, they gone tell you that I act like what I rap like
And I do. Or do I?
But I don't. Though, don't I?

[Verse 1]
If every rapper is a fire breathing dragon, I'm a
Taste acquired, a dragon breathing fire
Whose irises occupy the ire of a lion made of iron
A tyrant with the temper of a giant on the mic
The new millennium is already Orwellian
Less than twenty in, America went Machiavellian and
It's like a jungle sometimes, I fuckin' wonder
What will I say to my kids when I tuck 'em under the covers?
How about, "Let's Make America Great Again!"
Murder officials, reissue it all to the Native men and women
Whoa! Was that a threat to a Pres?
With criminal intent to embed hot lead in its head?
Well hey, I can't be held accountable for what I said or what I say
If you get it, then you with it, you okay
If you didn't then forget it, you can lick my Phillip K.
Okay? If it's bad as me, it's Capital B
[Chorus]

Patrick Motherfucking Battle
[Verse 2]
You can pass judgment on motherfuckers holding the guns
But son, niggas ain't dumb, we rock opposable thumbs
We recognize society's affront to our bodies
Commodities to European model economies
So "Violence ain't the answer" type slackers - Wrap it up
You embarrass me, back it up, fetch the kerosene
You parrots seem to have forgotten your language
Can't explain it either way, but I just wanna reclaim it
Why I'm back with an album I barely even can fathom
To recapture the blackest factors of being combative
A combination of magic with tragic habits to mask it
Pat cannot relax until you rappers burn to ashes
You mingle with the lingo and Bingo! You got a single
Go pop 'cause the fun don't stop like...
Greasy motherfuckers, always placing a product
Is that how you was brought up? Motherfucker I ain't bought up, I
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Rap bloggers bother me
The content they offer's fucking weak
Weak prose for weak posers on weak beats
I tune in every week to see if it's hit its peak
But every time I fucking blink, I find myself falling asleep
They oughta borrow revolvers - From their fathers for starters
And blow their brains out from the cranium to the collar
I bet a million dollars their followers couldn't conjure up a reason
Why they let these hipster FUCKS try to lead 'em
To be candid, we don't need 'em, we can write our own rules again
Bring back the hooligan in youth out the human man
Feel good rappers be repetitive as reruns
Yeah I used to be one, so I know one when I see one
I don't really fuck with you - Don't they make enough of you?
What're you? Number two-thousand-two-hundred and twenty-two?
What I'm trying to do is bring a challenge to the balance
I don't rep the streets, I rep the motherfucking madness
You passionate for this? Or wanna climb up a chart?
Y'all can play Hip-Hopoly while I'm here minding my art
Rhyming up and down these beats screaming "Fuck the police"
While rappers got these blogger's balls fucking stuck in they teeth
Now please report your mic to your master or your pastor
They'll return it you wrapped in a napkin after the rapture
Put it out to pasture - I'm tasked with the chore
Of encouraging the wack to go as ghost as Casper
I don't follow fools, fools follow rules
You dudes follow rules, so I don't follow yous
If I see a Molotov on the floor, motherfucker what the fuck I'm gone do?
Pick It Up, Pick It Up
While you bending rap over, dick to butt to get a nut
Trying to live it up I'm burning down your hut with just a blunt
Come on, be up front, whose growth can't y'all stunt?
Pat Motherfuckin' Battle - Wh-Wha, What, What?

[Verse]
Oh yes, it's a motherfuckin' mess I'd say
Middle of the Midwest, where I rest my case
And I stress - You fuckin' with one of the most fresh
The P-A-T-B- Hey, they know the rest
Motherfucker who - Motherfuckin' live
Do a motherfuckin' dive out my motherfuckin' mind
Whoo! What? Battle grew stronger and bigger
And I'm the motherfucker ya stuck wit
Motherfuck whatever the fuck you thought this was
You oughta known better 'fo you went and bought yo drugs
That achieving my high is such a motherfuckin' miracle
'Cause punk ass heroes ain't about that buzz
I get lyrical runnin' off at the motherfuckin' mouth
Me and my lady keep a quarter ounce in the motherfuckin' house
Some motherfuckers say I talk too much
Well fuck 'em, they mad, they uncles used to touch 'em
Fuck silence - Trump up the mindless violence to the spineless guys who designed it
So middle finger to the law every single day
Still fuck America, raw with the triple K
-Y, No Vaseline, and no nipple play
Every rhyme I give away'll hit and ricochet
Off a trust fund punk, he a prick and I'm not one
I keep my eyes on the nine double um...
Black boy hunters, penile short comers
No wonder - Fuck them motherfuckin' motherfuckers
Their mothers shoulda never been fuckin' without a rubber
And their Papas shoulda never even dialed their fuckin' numbers
When they met 'em - So take shots at me
Get 'em less you gettin' got, when I lick a verbal shot in response
Motherfuckers flop on the motherfuckin spot
I'm cold as a cube, 'cause it's motherfuckin' hot up in this bitch
So motherfucker burn, motherfucker burn
Like a motherfuckin perm 'til these motherfuckers learn
That I'll forever keep a grin and grudge
I love fuckin' shit up, I never will budge, why?
'Cause I ain't afraid of motherfuckin' shit
Here's a bit of a bitter conclusion I've come to
"You don't like how I'm livin'? Well fuck you!"
"Who the fuck you think you fuckin' with?"
It goes one-eight-seven on a motherfuckin' cop
Till these motherfuckers stop with these motherfuckin' shots
That make motherfuckers drop by the motherfuckin' dozens
You can't play dumb, why you motherfuckers shruggin'?
It goes one-eight-seven on a motherfuckin' cop
One eight seven on a motherfuckin'
One-eight-seven on a
One-eight-seven
My food for thought is the tastiest, yes
But stupid motherfuckers shouldn't play my shit
'Cause I'm an atheist and in the bass we trust
We'll erase your faith if you deface the funk
You'll get scarred, marred, jarred, tarred
This is what they bar from the motherfuckin' bars and the clubs
Fuck a trend, can I get motherfuckin' amen?
No? What you fuck you got to say then?
Some say "Pat, I don't wanna hear that rough crap"
"Ain't you done enough rap?" I'm like "Motherfuck that!"
I'd rather have a tack for a dick and then hump a hunchback
Than give in on the motherfuckin' mission like a punk-ass
Peep every word in between every curse
Just think of it as clean, you'll be reimbursed for your time
And if you're much averse to my verse
Well I don't give a cuff like the F word reversed
'Cause I'd rather be another motherfucker dead
For poppin' off at mouth with shit I shouldn't of said
Mother F the US and all fitty states
And fuck Lady Liberty in the motherfuckin' face
This ain't a case of misplaced rage
In this great place and in this day and age?
Let me relay a little phrase my brother
I ain't scared of you motherfuckers
Muzzle me? Humble me? Me?
Motherfucker please - freeze
You bees in the trap? Got keys to the back?
Well I fiend for the rap, and y'all need to relax
Y'all need me to act, 'cause your softy wit
It ain't sought for shit against waspy shit
So just watch me rip, fuck motherfuckin' pop and the po-po
Stoppin' hip hop is a no no
If you ain't got a motherfuckin' clue
How a motherfucker do without a motherfuckin' crew
I'll show you - fuck the nonsense, let's be honest
I need less brothas on the court, more in congress
Sayin' "We ain't gonna ball 'till you fall"
And white folks can watch paint crawl down a wall
'Cause a common man's drama is a rich man's pill
And if a fuck isn't given, then the shit gets real like
Motherfuckin' loot, motherfuckin' rob
March a motherfuckin' mob to they motherfuckin' job
Motherfuckin' rows, fuckin' motherloads
Shoot a motherfuckin' load on your mother's fuckin' robe
That's fuckin' odd, oh my motherfuckin' god
Blow a motherfuckin' wad on your motherfuckin' squad
Motherfuckin' Pat's - Motherfuckin' back
Throw a motherfuckin' scratch on this motherfuckin' track
Motherfuck your dad - Motherfuck your mom
Motherfuck Uncle Sam - Motherfuck an Uncle Tom
There's bomb in my mouth goes boom!
You bitch ass cartoons ain't ready for my dark doom
Y'all just fart fumes, fan y'all the fuck out
Quackin' like a motherfuckin' dick with ya duck out
So if you lucked out, took the quick punk route sucka
Fuck ya weak shit motherfucker
Fuck 'em

[Verse]
I think I think dark thoughts
I spot a war in the Rorschach inkblot
To some, Black people are all an illusion
And Black music's a hallucinogen
They tune in again and again like friends
Reality sets in, where are they then?
Go on pretend that it is what it is
'Til your third eye blind goes live and your lid
Lifts, revealing the charm of the farce
No marchin' like Martin, let's bomb on these sharks
I pop with my art, but first things first
In riots the quiet one's always the worst
The thirst to reverse any curse on the Earth takes work
And it's worth being hurled in a hearse
But right now, I gotta bide my time
That's why these rhymes occupy my mind
To keep me chill 'till I'm free to kill
Any enemy who wanna keep me still
Now please be real, it's a Battle and the options
Are fight, sit tight, or provide correspondence
It's toxic to box it all up
Oh I'm ominous, bruh? I do not give a fuck
We need another cool song like I need a motherfucking hole in my head
When I'm goin' to bed
Like Fred when CPD blew lead through his threads
Left brother man dead when they fled
Pigs get stuck in Baton Rouge and in Dallas?
They call that madness? We call that balance
Course this is malice, but where does it start?
Sixteen hundred seventy's a good mark
But I digress, can't hide my stress
It rises real high right inside of my chest
So with each sweet breath, I thank my stars
I ain't been shot, been locked behind bars
Schooled in the burbs, so all I know all the words
That keep Whites calm, ignorant to our qualms
Enough that they tend to forget that I'm me
And spill all their secrets so feverishly
I know how they think, the ball's in my court
Not a shot in the dark when I talk and retort
From Chicago to Colorado and New York
If we're hunted for sport, let's boycott sports
Embargo this music, I'll do it, I'm down
I'd give it all up, sacrifice every sound
To prove to these clowns we ain't palin' around
While they piling up bodies by gunnin' us down
Pull Black culture from everything
From all of the arts to the very small parts
In large, quit letting them eat all that cake
That they lucky to have in the first fuckin' place
Stop frontin' and prayin', dude move on this mission
This mood isn't fiction, it's human tradition
Intrinsic as sinnin', essential as livin'
'Twas was written by wig wearin' Christians from Britain
So whether you wild or take silent positions
We're all compromised in some violent admission
See I kick a mix of that righteous and raw
A right to be hostile, I'm tight with my jaw
I write by the law of the rebel
And revel in devilish echoes on levels falsetto
A measure of retro, a chunk of the punk
A crumb of the grunge, a lump of the funk
A pinch of progressive, a hint of hardcore
And when it comes to flow, who could ask for mo'?
In everyday life I am calm as a clam
But I'm clammed the fuck up as an African man
It's culminated out of conscious of Klan
And lack of response from the opposite man
Revolution is violent - If violence is bad
Then what of the one that our White people had?
We live in that radical aftermath
And now it's forbidden? You gotta be kiddin'
In everyday life when the cops shoot a kid
We rush in to do what we just fucking did
So I'm done with that dopey degenerate dream
That peace pimpin' shit, while we split at the seams
It seems - My themes are in line with the times
I could drop me a rhyme or go cop me a nine
one-eight-seven a cop, but the proper response
To this madness is that I just pray that it stop?
I can't even keep up with the rate of the wakes
Re-writing my words to keep up the pace
But some faces are runnin' in place 'cause of faith
That gospel and pop state the same fuckin' case
Now rappers all crying for harmony, why?
I'm leery of cops, give the army the eye
It's conceivable people could want me to die
But to kill us and walk means the law is a lie
And if that be the truth, then the fuck with the booth
I'm no rapper, I'm Patrick, ain't rude or uncouth
And you know this I hope, if you've met me on Earth
That I joke and I'm funny, I knew it, it works
Now behold all the hurt even burbs can instill
In our skin like the sun, but converted to chills
You've heard it, you've read it, it's relevant, real
I've seen it and lived it, it snaps at my heel
So if ever a coup's followed through to the end
And a new attitude is saluted to and
We murder these burglars like hamburger slaves
Hack em up, pack 'em up, send 'em away
I'ma be the one up front actin' up
Ain't no bluff in my act, ain't no trap in this punch
In fact, just a hunch, I don't move you that much
You shruggin' like "What the fuck's up with this punk?"

[Verse 1]
The bacon in blue is a bad master
Step forward, get blast backward
My trap be flapping like a mad pastor
I don't preach, I just rap bastard
Say my peace - We seek more
Who are we? We the meek and poor
Yeah of all colors, brothers we deplore
When the rhymes are weak and the beat's a bore
I deliver the dinner like I'm a pizza boy
Serving suckas my slice of life
No hype, no lights
My motherfucking vice? The mic
And we can roll dice, aight?
I bet I'll beat you in this battle of wits
I'll plead the first, you can handle the fifth
When dat goes piff, my candle is lit
The wick goes quick - I spit dope shit
I get no hits on the buzz meter
No hits on the pop charts cuz neither
My pieces reaching these leeching leaders
Breaching teeth, now their speech is weaker
Sock it to you like Shaka Zulu
Hip hop, it ought to be shocking to you
Fuck the police, schools too
Who said "Shut up fool when I'm talking to you"
Can't mute this dude, he's supa dupa
Fuck pouncing I'm stomping Koopa
Your mind's benign, and I'm popping tumors
Malignant, to hell with the Hallelujahs
Goofy newbies pick easy topics
To flaunt their secrets like leaky faucets
Taunting wallets, and bank and stuff
But hold up, hey! They can't rank with us
At the very least they can't rock with P
'Cause they ain't walked around in the dark as me
They imported we all as sport
For dorky four feet porkys to torture poor peeps
Posse? None, my posture possibly off to some
It's probably hardly all up to one
If I had my fun it'd be Marcus Garvey clones riding Harleys
So ungodly, human even
But idols lie, they can ruin reason
So not to I, nor towards the sky
When you searching wide for the clues you seekin'
That higher hip is my kind of cliff
I'm dying to hop out my hieroglyph
I climbed inside it to find my niche
And behold a glitch, life's a bitch
[Chorus]
Lonely globe, this only stone
Lost in space, take me home
When in Rome, my type of poem
Rebellious, hell yes, I'm off my dome
Grown lone wolf, grown lone wolf, lone wolf
Grown lone wolf, grown lone wolf, lone wolf
[Verse 2]
Pop or cop a squat, I gotta drop the deuce
You quacks better duck, I'm Papa Goose
Like Dr. Seuss, I'm ninety proof, and ten fact
I'll bend back and fold Ben, yes five times, I'll choke time
My broke mind will bang drums in cold space
In slow climbs and low vibes
Most artists depict the times
Pardon, no, forgive the lie
Any MC who commits to tryin'
I'll rip out his spine, and whip his behind
I got fish to fry, dragons to slay
Get your ass from up out of the way
Everything I say's a radical phrase
When I spray the cray there ain't a damn delay
Last thing I want out your mouth is praise
Just raise your fist and admit to this
My net worth, it was split to fifths
Now I ain't convinced of whose wrist to slit
Forefathers or their whore mothers
Who decided brothers were a source to plunder
Now many more summers have past
At last we drag on, and no wonder
My nose runnin', no tissue is issued
Haven't been abused, the indifference'll get you killed
Or, better yet, vilified after you're dead
They'll still speak ill
In retrospect, yet, it seems funny
See, my people used to be money
So stop pretending, the lives these cops are ending
Are not just wasteful spending
Michael Brown took six hits
And the government gave zero shits
The media's no recourse for us
Corporate thugs, still pulling they old tricks
We live in times where different tribes
Cannot abide by these picket signs
So I'm pitchin' rhymes like fishin' lines
The beat is bait, with the hook you're mine
[Chorus]
Lonely globe, this only stone
Lost in space, take me home
When in Rome, my type of poem
Rebellious, hell yes, I'm off my dome
Grown lone wolf, grown lone wolf, lone wolf
Grown lone wolf, grown lone wolf, lone wolf

What I Will Be

[Verse 1]
My demons roll shotgun with me
We'll bleed into a brick wall at light speed likely
When life is ejected from the front of the Intrepid
My crash-test-dummy soul ghost ride the whip
Split ripples in the windshield, my shit'll spin wheels
Get them gears grindin' like a coal into a diamond
The cherry in America's pie, it's been busted
I knew it reminiscin' on the visions as a chitlin'
The shit that pipe-hittin' babysitters used to do to us?
Duct-tape over the face? Ain't nothing' new to us
So I dedicate the bluest to my sister
My Black heart bleeds - She ain't even a mister
But if all I had to do was sport a Windsor and just differ
From the average nigga, then I guess I wouldn't be a nigger
Thinking everything I do oughta be quicker, bigger, slicker
'Cause my lips thicker, roots run in this dirt a little richer
Off the Richter - Shakes me to my core, I can't ignore it
They flaunt it, and I want it, but doggonit, can't afford it
That peace of mind, knowing that just everything is fine
Where sanity is vanity, I'm going out my mind
Am I mentally disturbed? Or culturally deterred?
Or discouraged - Nightmares recur, dreams deferred
Sinking deep as worms, in the depths of all the dirt
Peeking at the heavens through the crevice of the Earth like
[Chorus]
Gimme all your hate and I'll take it to the heart
And bleed back the Black, in the very very end I'll
Be what I will be
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
[Verse 2]
Go distress over the pledge while I step over the ledge
Emotions in my head? They hurry you to yo bed
It must be something I said, 'cause every time that I speak
My tongue rip through the cheek like teeth, you want no beef
Robot Foghorns ain't brave enough
To embrace the slave rage, so our race is stuck
They take away our safe space, chain us up
Bondage, as if we ain't been raped enough
Now do we suffer from depression or maybe just life's lessons?
The pain hurts and the adrenaline is impressive
I'm festive in group settings, I thank the Academy
When alone I feel the gravity ravage me with its savagery
Paranoid as fuck, hungry for validation
Starved for some regard as an artist within this nation
Or better yet a human, by the looks of what they're doin'
I'm a dude to be pursued for brutalism and ruin
I got suicidal quotes for when my human vitals slope
Here's my lurid final note for any tourists on my boat
If by hanging from the rope they designated for my folks
Or blooSo kying bathwater, whenever I'm goner
I'ma wander 'round these haunted towns, ghosted in this armor
The offspring of a janitor, grandson of a farmer
Karma make me king or put a comma on the drama
Ain't a marijuana plant potent enough to kill tomorrow, so
[Chorus]
Gimme all your hate and I'll take it to the heart
And bleed back the Black, in the very very end I'll
Be what I will be
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
[Verse 3]
Okay, all these motherfuckers say they ride for the cause
As soon as you ask them if they'd die for the cause
They shut the fuck up, 'cause that rough type of stuff
Is better left to caution-to-the-wind type friends like me?
Wait, I mean, you think I could be?
Effective in this course, like an elective, but respectively
If Kanye and Kelly Conway can have some say
Then my middle class ass is saying all bombs away
Palm the arms that you bought from the pawn shop today
And blow your own fucking brains out
I'll scrape the bloody stain off of the wall
'Cause the way I'm really feeling often y'all
Is like kidnapping rappers, tying up and offin' them all
Ain't a tool you could use to put a lock on my jaw
So if rap's dead, I don't care who shot it in the head
So long as I, Black guy, survives some apartheid
The negro spiritual will never end gentlemen
|

[Verse 1]
If my genre's dead, I'm a zombie man, call the army then
I can't find my head, I lose my mind nights when I lie in bed
By a tiny thread of cred, I shred the dread and push on ahead
I lead myself and fled what the F they spread
They said they had the meds, so I begged and plead
Follow me por favor, toward the shore
Say no more, that's what war is meant for
Slept on more floors than I've kept score
If I can't soar up, I'm down to roar
I croon to the moon, swoon in the doom
The gloom, it blooms new tunes in the womb
Soon the fumes will allude to a boom
Calm as a bomb, calm as a bomb armed in my palm
I'm alarmed by the pawns who be gone come dawn
I lay my grenade on a lawn, it spawns
Swan songs for the lost and weak
The cost of loss is so obsolete
When a bullet can Frogger across a street
And go launching a college kid off his feet
The equality's quality's probably cheap
Hardly deep, now that's hard to keep
Of course I want a piece of the pie, I'm high
Worse on Earth, better off in the sky
Heart in the art, spirited lyrics
So I'll never quite die - Clever, bright, wise
Whether that lies in a rap disguise
I pacify the acts that you ratify
I had to find the why in the will
To kill the damn demon deep down in streams of dreams
'Cause I see
[Chorus]
With nowhere to run to
I thought we once were
Afraid to live
Afraid to fight our way through
Moonlight is pouring in
You let the demons in
It's far too late to save you
I'm not afraid to face the rapture
[Verse 2]
The past is after us, fasten up
I'm here 'cause a series of massacres
Left me for dead in diaspora
So I'm soft as a Velociraptor bruh
With jurassic baggage and a batch of madness
My addict habits are raps and adlibs
I have to have it in my repertoire
A reservation reserved in a reservoir
When the fleet's depleted I feel a bit defeated
When I kick the beat, it'll reheat the reason
I wrestle with words, stress incurs
More inspiration for the stimulation
Incubation stage phases me
Perhaps this isn't what I'm made to be
Relax Pat, someday you'll see
What it all was for, I mean all them doors
That closed slow, I suppose my woes
Echo and explode in flows of text so
Foes who yet pose in throes of fresh gold
A plot I cannot let go like "Presto"
But to learn is let a worm burr in the brain
Rearrange everything ever been explained
Abstract lane for a metaphoric train
Transport pain in a molecule of rain
What I've lost dawg, how do I regain?
Blow me out of frame? Only out of fame?
Disloyal to the game - Say it quite plain
I'll never take a pill that chills, I feel afraid to give, but too brave to live
I'm made to fill gaps in your favorite meal
The ones you throw out and forbade they steal
Nowhere to run, they face the gun
[Chorus]
With nowhere to run to
I thought we once were
Afraid to live
Afraid to fight our way through
Moonlight is pouring in
You let the demons in
It's far too late to save you
I'm not afraid to face the rapture
[Bridge]
I'll never back down, I just brush the blood off
There's so much more to you
Now show me what you're made of
I only trust in you
'Cause when you've lost your mind
You got absolutely nothing left to lose
[Verse 3]
When I sit back ripped and I burn a few
I think Horton would flip if he heard The Who
Then I switch to the lit for a firmer view
It makes me hotheaded like I permed my do
But I'll never do that, it's nothing or naps
I stay natchy, my name's catchy
Pat Battle, I ain't poppy
The seed that sow is hope mommy
Can't catch me, I'm Jerry, very quick
Barely there, you ain't snaring shit
Dropping psalms on your shitty songs
My gritty drums are Timmy's tongue
Super loud, Busta Rhymes, give it to me now
Rap is a scene, kinda like a movie now
Honors and barters personas as martyrs
While murders you've heard of converge with the lot of --
Coinkydink? I don't think, I smell a ruse
Dios Mio, Jesus De La Cruz
The government fucking the public, no lube
Some brothers are puppets to tugs on a shoe
Massa claps, they dance on cue
It's true, they don't really answer to you
So fuck the fans and followers man
You ain't emancipatin' with a proclamation
To this chattel rap trap that plagues the nation
What could the whole sham be more hollower than?
I wanna hear a motherfucker with economy plans
Not a real appealing feel good equality jam
You ain't a model fam, more like like a modeling man
Any fucking asshole can win a lottery, damn
And that's where hip hop is at now
But I'll never back down, so you better back down
What a pleasure to weather this storm
in which I was born, in sapien form
I may be informed, but I'm fortunate
To know why my form is unfortunate
The history of here's like a torture flick
The score's the whip, can't afford to slip
Like a corner's pick who returns a six
Like a Christmas gift from the Grinch, that bitch
My list - Bring down the Fistagon
I inch along mist, get my missile on
Pissed off so I'm pissing on nightmares, don't get me wrong
One factor, I master, I practice, I capture this rapture

[Verse 1]
Apologies! I ain't no cultural anomaly
I never thought and concurrently don't think I'm a prodigy
Oddly, my body brings baggage to my status
My melanin encrusted skeleton's an apparatus
That used to dig on the doctrine they pushed by the big Doctor
They propped the King up for us pawns, and we kept noddin'
On some "We shall overcome, and our people will grow as one"
Let's be reasonable son, that credence is pretty dumb
We clung to Lady Liberty's skirt and put all the work in
She hung us from the top of her shirt, and it's closed curtains
Some moves are inexcusable, notably when the moving crew
Never quite owned up to burning our house down
We pipe down these Mario tunnels and funnel facts up
Valid ones! Foxes, peacocks, you need to back up
Ain't standin' for no anthem, they can fight me they don't like it
Call me KaeperNick Fury, take a shit while they recite it
Then they can tell me if their country loves me
[Chorus]
Or is it that she loves me not?
Ha! Ha! - Your heart says she loves me
Although my head says she loves me not
Oh no, your soul says she loves me
But, yo, I know that she loves me not
Now what I got is a national broken home
With an abusive Uncle Sam who can't stand what I am
[Verse 2]
Now is Pat mad at the world? That’s between the world and me
But if life's giving referrals, we should get one for free
You see they treat us like freaks and then flee with our own genius
If it weren't for us they'd probably be speaking that old English
Thus spoke when they stirred up the hoax of the schmo Jesus
Like Mary carried to term a fetus with no penis
You believe this? I don't think so, but I do think that them gringos
Got very genocidal plans for me and my mans
We embrace it, they place bracelets tight around our hands
And say "Assume acute angle stance", patting down our pants
Like we're all at a ball, and all the hogs wanna dance
And one of two moves they know is the Murderena and so
I know we're stuck in this arena with dictators and divas
Who swear that they all bear what are elite facial features
And we're just leeches who used to pick the cotton for their t-shirts
It's cray what you can slay with a few centuries of free work
Had us weepin' from the willow, rotten black fruit of the loom
How do they slip into their sleep at night? Is there room in the room?
With all the Hortons and the Barbars and Snuffleupaguses
Don't trust they'll ever discuss the real function of the injustice
As pups they are instructed to hush at the very subject
Their abnormally formal, unrealistically rustic
So the scales of Lady-Whats-It are technically asymmetrical
Her nation is priority, slavery's parenthetical
Ain't ethical, but could I let it go if she loves me?
[Chorus]
Or is it that she loves me not?
Ha! Ha! - Your heart says she loves me
Although my head says she loves me not
Oh no, your soul says she loves me
But, yo, I know that she loves me not
Now what I got is a national broken home
With an abusive Uncle Sam who can't stand what I am
[Verse 3]
Yeah, my deepest fear is this deep this year
It's rooted in Black thought, folded up in me like a laptop
That state homicides and demonizing of Islamic ties
Will rise on the horizon of a new age of pile ons
Adding to the ever growing list of shit to fix
And we'll never stop feeling like we're three thirds of a fifth
So when oppressors most high begin to self identify
Through the power of the vote? Do I expect much? Nope!
Fuck hope! These devils been embellishing this hellish wind
Since settlements American initially were carried in
Authoritarian variants vary who they bury
From poets to the know it alls who'd ever dare expose it all
I wonder if we'll grow at all or slow it all to a toadish crawl
Torn apart by war and art atop this living bowling ball
Spinning into the gutter y'all, pinheaded this system is
America's a bad mother
Listen to the kids
Hands over little hearts saying she loves me
[Chorus]
Or is it that she loves me not?
Ha! Ha! - Your heart says she loves me
Although my head says she loves me not
Oh no, your soul says she loves me
But, yo, I know that she loves me not
Now what I got is a national broken home
And the motherfucking propaganda goes
The condescension and the pretension, I gotta mention
Micro-aggressions and the passive aggressiveness
Appropriation, and misinterpretation
Humiliation on a world-wide scale y'all
But I think about America - She loves me
And then I think about America - She loves me not
But shit, if you insist she loves me
I guess I'm insane, when I hear that bitch say I hate you
