Oh, shit, I'm in Washington, D.C
Jesus! Christ! This is where Reagan lived, not far from here
Ron! Hey, Ron, they the ones booing, I ain't say shit
I mean, I ain't anything
Huh? What sucks? Reaganomics sucks?
Well, tell us something we don't know, motherfucker
It ain't like people sitting around going, Really, does it suck?
I didn't know. That's some scary shit, Reaganomics, man
Shit's changing, though. We got black politicians now
Who's that boy, um, Harold Washington?
Harold Washington said, Fuck it
And won
I know he's still sitting around going
I really won the motherfucker?
Jesse Jackson seen that shit and said, Fuck it, I'ma run, too
Fuck it
Jesse, you can win
I see his brother going, You can win, Jesse
Because you bigger than motherfucker Harold Washington
Fuck Harold Washington
Fuck him, man. Run for president
And Jesse going, Yeah, fuck this
I seen Jesse in the gym, working the fuck out, too, boy
Getting in shape
You know if he wins, because you know he got a chance he can win
White dudes like to do shit like that
Vote for the wrong dude as a goof
They get drunk and shit
And go in there and say, Let's vote for Jesse Jackson
I just voted for Jesse Jackson
The next day they be like this, he fucking won?
Jesse know that shit can happen
He getting in shape
I seen him running around the track and shit
I said, Why the fuck you getting in shape like this?
He said, Because I'm going to be the first black president
I had to get speeches like this
My fellow Americans, as your president I feel that we need to keep a good together and join hands
Are you watching these motherfuckers back there?
Because I don't think they're too happy about this shit
Duty on
He won't stand still
It ain't as bad, you know racism is still out there
But it ain't as bad as it was like motherfucking 30 years ago
We've come a long motherfucking way
White people don't even be calling black people nigger no more
Especially when there's niggers around, so I guess I wouldn't know
Or at least we came that far
Used to be in the 30's, they'd say, Nigger, and you'd have to go like this
Nah, you could do the James Brown on one of them
They'd be going, Ha! Him in there
Straight up and shit, man
Brothers, man, I would listen to brothers talk
I used to hear brothers talk about slavery
Modern day soul brothers, we act like we couldn't have been slaves and shit
I'd be hearing brothers say, Shit, man, if I was a motherfucking slave, fuck that shit, man
Fuck that
Yo, I would have been out there and shit
I would have been out there, right?
And the motherfucking master would have said, Yo, nigger, pick up that bale of hay
I would have said, Yo, man, suck my dick, master
Suck my motherfucking dick
I ain't bailing shit
You bailing motherfucking hay, motherfucker
Then I would have got in my motherfucking Lincoln and drove the fuck off and shit
So the master could kiss my ass and shit
I ain't no motherfucking slave
It ain't like those motherfuckers wanted to do that shit
I'm quite sure the first dude that got off the boat said, Suck my dick
Then like ten motherfuckers with whips said, And the ones behind him said, We'll bail the shit
Just kick the fuck back with them whips, motherfucker
You know what's strange?
I went to Texas recently looking for racism
Because I thought it was like real bad because I got friends that said, You better not go to Texas
And it ain't really that bad in Texas
I got embarrassed and shit
Because I got off the plane with all my black brother shit on and shit
Leather and medallion and shit
Got off the train like this
Dude said, Is this your bag?
I said, Yeah, it's my fucking bag. What's wrong?
A black man can't have a suitcase?
This dude was like, What the fuck's wrong with this guy?
