Текст песни: Quotations From Chairman Fred (Drogas Wave 2018)
[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco] Uhh, I exist, spoken in a confident voice Can world shift and continent hoist Look under for the plunder A rich man's song that gets sung for a sum out the lungs of a stunner But life turns to a station and a hustler to a hummer Went from speaking and now not even sinking The game is karaoke ’til it tries to punish poke me Kinda throw me words slowly, fade degrading in the foley Waving metal sheets make thunder Fooling I was younger; fool me when I'm older Fool me now, screw me down to the sofa, taking Soma Drinking soda, eating vulture, tweeting vulgar Playing Madden getting fat and getting cultured with the quotes In the hopes people will get the jokes If it rains you will get the float But only if they're still building boats [Interlude: Dr. Eric Thomas] But your values system says you believe in sleep More than you believe in grinding Your values system says you are a consumer and not a producer That you’re spending more money than you're making Why? Because you're a consumer, you're reading all the books And you're saying everything the books are saying But those books are not in alignment with your values! And you're gonna go to the next level Your values are gonna have to change [Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco] Uhh, Drunken Fist versus Praying Mantis Was it God's plan or man mismanaged to turn New Orleans to Atlantis? They lie in the streets to lambast The black land swam at like a HE MAN in a bathtub Fire! Cup up the bad blood Hope hand tugs come right after the lackluster backrubs Or half structured or tech hubs or wack love That's stacked as if chance in community chest God said, "Don’t you ruin me yet Until I give them everything and there’s just two of these left" Black bumper slow fades into a vista Rapid cuts a stock footage which freezes on a listener Give me love, lovers I read it like blood color on the head of a flooded structure Can't keep the duck rubber under, fundamentally it’s buoyant It rises like court rooms to swoon for your enjoyment [Chorus: Nikki Jean] Every single word you said Will you say it to me? Well it stays with me I heard every single word you said Will you say it to me? Well it stays with me, hoohh [Verse 3: Lupe Fiasco] Trap music meets trapezoids, fake his own death They roll rocks like asteroids to the crest Think outside the box, I wrap a toy in a cheque Then watch a sissy fuss with a boy in a dress Mad at the world, in a voice of a man With a bag of a girl, she just avoids the success It's what he said, or what she said Double entendre no matter how you play it Then he takes the sex tape and destroys the cassette And puts the ribbon in the sky like the limited of eye Then prepares to utter, what's been a symbol in its side Against the ticker tape scene in a Silver Lake dream Sorta orders the lungs to unmilitate screams Shouts to a forged son with imitate beams In a blue sky filled with pornographic strings Getting caught up in the trees, I still believe in Jesus! [Interlude] Our purpose is to ensure That literature and art sit well Into the whole revolutionary machine As a component part That they operate as powerful weapons For uniting and educating the people And for attacking and destroying the enemy And that they help the people fight the enemy With one heart and one mind [Chorus: Nikki Jean] Every single word you said Will you say it to me? Well it stays with me I heard every single word you said Will you say it to me? Well it stays with me [Outro: Bishop Edgar Jackson] There was a man who wrote many things But Carlyle said, um, that we could not be ruined Because no lie could live forever William Cullen Bryan said, "Truth crushed to earth, would rise again" And James Russell Lowell, made it more plain That we would not be ruined or destroyed Because he said that, "Truth, forever on the scaffold, lies forever on the throne But that scaffold sways the future, and behind the dim unknown Standeth God within the shadow, keeping watch, above his own" These powerful scriptures were also used by the man In whom we celebrate his birthday today, Dr. Martin Luther King And Dr. King told us to practice non-violence and the power of love Non-violence and the power of love has brought us thus far The agape love that we have for ourselves That we have for our people is the reason why our people In this particular diaspora called, North America Have not been totally ruined We have not been totally destroyed, we have not been exterminated So therefore, uh, my dear brother, um, Wasalu We call you, we thank you for what you've asked me to do And we shall continue to study to show ourselves approved under God Workman that needn’t not be ashamed Rightly this dividing the word of truth And so at this time, in this city Where young men's lives are not worth much In this city where our people have been discriminated against And kept from the resources which we Rightly deserve as a majority of people in the city We are dependent upon the most high creator of the ends of the world That I call Elohim Jehova And we are dependent upon him to keep us from falling To keep us from being ruined, to keep us from being exterminated And we thank the Almighty For the privilege of being here with my niece Is to impart these words And I hope it would be of assistance in this project God bless you and thank you
