🖨️ Print Article

The Commander-in-Chief’s *Annual NASA

Umph, umph, umph, de hate speech de Commanduh preach
Soun’ lak, feel lak finguh nails on a chalkbowd, dat screech
‘Bout toxic as anything Dr Gobbuls an’ ol’ Striker teach—
Lak WHITE fosforus providin’ cover, so de 1% can leech
Puttin’ Dr Martha Lutha Kang’s dream waaay outta reach
Commnaduh gibbin’ his Annyule Nigga Ain’t Shit Speech!

Sho’s mah name Willsun Nellsun Steeben Simmunz de Thurd
Minit I saw de Commanduh-en-Cheef , ‘fake,’ was de wurd !
He nothin’ but a Corprit Bagger dropped on us frum above
So, quit holdin’ yo breaf waitin’fo him to “show sum luv…”
Despyte all de Madsun Ave. avertisin’ ob ‘change’ an’ ‘hope’
I smelt sulfur, en pulp fickshun, wit de Awedacity Ob Dope…
De boy gots nothin’ but spite an’ disdane fo’ de Blak masses—
It jus’ de Age ob Judus Qwizlins tellin’ us to kiss dey asses!

De boy makin’ a corear out talkin’ down ta Blak Menz—
Spewin’ hate speech blamin’ victums fo’ de 1% sins!
Now, take dat ol’ corprit progrum ob ‘Brutha’s Keepa’
A hussul, fo’ gittin’ de war profitears off cheepa—
‘Stead ob talkin’ to brothas ‘bout de gud payin jobs
He speakin’ lak de Crips callin’ de Bluds ‘Slobs…’

Hab you eber herd, “Figgas don’ lie— but liars figga?”
Dey pullin’ numbas outta dey asses fo’ profile: ‘nigga’
Pushin’ disinformayshun, pullin’ propoganduh stops
Frum evenin’ ‘NEWS’ to dem shows lak ‘Cops’—
Mos’ crime commited by de speeshez: white males
Yet, you’d nebber know by jus’ lookin’ in de jails!

If gud ol’ boy propoganduh is ‘bout lak a GED
De Commanduh-en-Cheef’s Psy-Op be PhD—
Dem sharlatons know saggin’ pants jus’ a simpton
Lak slappin’ women a piece de game ob pimpdom
Arrowgunz ob de spyin’ one, an bankstuh-frenly AG
Dem corprit Negroz overseers ob po’ folk lak me!
