Open Letter Part III (Remix)
[Intro]
Ladies and gentlemen
Goddamnit
Let this shit knock
[Verse 1: Jay-Z]
I done turned Havana to Atlanta
Guayabera shirts and bandanas
Every time you think they got me I switch the plan up
Bulletproof this, radio scanners
Ballin' 'til they ban us
You gettin' too much bread, they try to jam you
Boy from the hood but got White House clearance
Sorry y'all, I don't agree with y'all parents
Politicians never did shit for me
Except lie to me, distort history
Wanna give me jail time and a fine
Fine, let me commit a real crime
I might buy a kilo for Chief Keef
Out of spite, I just might flood these streets
Hear the freedom in my speech
Got an onion from Universal, read it and weep
Would've brought the Nets to Brooklyn for free
Except I made millions off it, you fuckin' dweeb
I still own the building, I'm still keeping my seat
Y'all buy that bullshit, you'd better keep y'all receipt
Obama said "chill, you gonna get me impeached"
But you don't need this shit anyway
Chill with me on the beach
[Hook: Swizz Beatz]
Y'all gon' learn today
[Verse 2: Common]
Common Sense
My man went to Cuba
Caught in a political triangle, Bermuda
The same way they said she was the shooter
Assata Shakur, they tried to execute her
I went to Cuba to see her
We should free her, like we should Mumia
Can’t a n***a rap and make movies
Y’all see that Fox News tried to do me
They say I’m too black like it’s lights out
Might not get invited back to the White House
Still with the Obamas, I ride
I meet the president on the Southside
March the streets, parade for peace
Shorties keep shooting, they need a release
Trying to eat in the belly of the beast
I call her LeBron, they carrying the heat
Y’all gon’ learn today
Like you’re listening to Malcolm and MLK
Media saying shit that ain’t there
But we fall down and get back up, Kevin Ware
It’s so political, I don’t trust figures
When it comes to revolution, this is us n***a
[Verse 3: K9]
K9 son, I'm so the shit now
I close up with this open letter freestyle
If I punch on this track, I got spare tyres
This one's a killer verse, dead bibles
I'm so artistic, I draw like Orlando Pirates
But that shit is true, so no pun intended
I know I killed Jay-Z, I hope he's not offendin
One day we will meat but no braai-pack
Shit! But now I'm feelin like Ryback
If you gay, get a ruler n***a be straight
You over-sleeping but you under-estimate
I'm at english class, and you must debate
Haha, they call my flow “Chuck Norris”
It's just a freestyle, I didn't write no lyrics
You at the top n***a? I make you surface
Me and whack rappers; call that Apartheid
I'm finna make paper, even eat on paper plates
My flow is sick n***a, even doctors contemplate
You don't have a brain, so n***a never mind
I got my other watches, call it extra time
Now this freestyle started killin me
I don't know what to say like an afrikaans speech
K-A-Y-N-I-N-E
Hello my name is speed, and you know speed kills
I'm a freestyle king, if you's a rap queen
Busy bumpin Tova's ZERO Degrees
And n***a Thai-Chi's Go and Stunt Hard
You n***as want beef, go and start a farm
Shit when the fuck this beat is ending
I knock these n***as teeth out, call a tooth fairy
Y'all gon learn today
I'm sick in academics I'm getting level aids!
Shout out to n***a EMM, n***a sick as fuck
Got Static Fab and Neutra but they fuckin up
I do it big like Malee's boobs
My flow is cold like June in the afternoon
Mixtape shit coming soon
You fuck around like me, you might die soon
Stay out of my bis like a blackberry
N***as wana hit a track with me, like a fucken train
I'm fresher than a new fresh cut
But I don't give a fuck
[Verse 4: Jay-Z]
Ya'll almost want to start a revolution
You know whenever I'm threatened, I start shooting (BANG!)
Catch a body, head to Houston
I'm in Cuba, I love Cubans
This communist talk is so confusing
When it's from China, the very mic that I'm using
Idiot wind, the Bob Dylan of rap music
You're an idiot, baby, you should become a student
Oh, you gonna learn today
Where the fuck have you been
The world's under new management
The new role model, fuck this Zoolander shit
[Hook]
