The Commander-in-Chief’s *Annual NASA
Umph, umph, umph, de hate speech de Commanduh preach

Puttin’ Dr Martha Lutha Kang’s dream waaay outta reach

So, quit holdin’ yo breaf waitin’fo him to “show sum luv…”
Despyte all de Madsun Ave. avertisin’ ob ‘change’ an’ ‘hope’

De boy makin’ a corear out talkin’ down ta Blak Menz—

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’
