[Hook x6] Goodbye gray sky, hello blue Feels so right, it can't be wrong
[Intro talk] Yo, remember when everybody was all like HipHop is dead and Fuck Bush? Yeah, you know, yesterday Now everybody’s wearing Obama shirts and we got songs called “LOL smiley face“ Did I miss something?
[Verse 1] My president’s black, my rent is late But my president’s black, so everything’s great Last week it was dead, now rap does not suck Lil’ Wayne and Gucci Mane just got locked up Drakes on the radio, Kid Cudi’s selling Lil’ Jon and DJ Khaled finally stopped yelling Hova went and had autotune assassinated Lil Mama jumped on stage and everybody’s fascinated A brand new game, but the rules ain’t changed Nobody’s the new someone, different’s the new same You wanna be a rapper, forget about the music How tight are your jeans tell me what color your shoes is
[Hook]
[Interlude] I don’t mean to rain on your parade or nothing I just want to know what everybody’s smiling about Did I miss something? Everything looks the same to me I mean…
[Verse 2] Now everybody’s partying and having a ball So happy to be heard but saying nothing at all Like a tree inside the forest that’s just waiting to fall You may have opened up your eyes, but you’re facing the wall Now some will try to front like they’re embracing the struggle And if you don’t like it then you’re hating on the hustle Its downhill from there, but it happens very subtle See you can’t be too drastic, you don’t wanna break the bubble Perhaps its just a gap in between the generations When 140 characters passes for a statement Maybe I’m too concerned with the situation You may think that I’m complaining, but at least I ain't complacent For years they were feeding you lunch meat only And now they’re giving you spam, instead of bologna Hate to break it to you homie, regardless what they told you You still eating garbage, it’s time for some soul food
[Outro] Yo! Are you even listening to me? {Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah man. Yeah man.} Do you hear the words that are coming outta my mouth? {Hold on one second, son. This dude texted me…he got this app that counts his pubic hair. HA HA Yo! It counts his pubic hair. That shit is crazy! Yo. What? Awww, come on. Don’t look at me like that, man. You’re just mad cause I’m having fun Yo, gimme the remote, man. Yo, change this shit! I don’t wanna watch the fuckin news, dude. Gimme the remote! I wanna watch that new TMZ shit. It’s like, uh, ‘Top 100 Celebrity Outbreaks’ They got Katie Holmes and Jessica Alba with cold sores and shit. Shit’s crazy Yo dude, lend me five dollars, man. Nah, I’m serious. I’m starving. I ain’t got no cash Yo, times is hard, dude. Ya know? Gimme five dollars.}
