Welcome to minstrel Hip-Hop
Acting like the other
Black faces are now sitting in wheelchairs
Throwing up sign language
For the camera
Doing the butt with a cane
Just to get a little piece of fame
Hip-Hop charities
Jerry Lewis break dancing
Step right up
Take the stage to get heal
Autism Speaks
While Black artists tap-dancing
To rake in the money
Strings are attached like puppets
In their lyrics, dissing us
From gangster to hyphy
Used to take it now they give up, their music
The hard work is done damn that is so slick
Now it’s ingrained
Sit back and watch them go insane
Tear into each other for very little
Stepping on their own people
At the end of the day
We don’t have anything to say
Smile on our faces cause we got paid
Lights are off can’t sleep
All alone we can’t escape
