[00:55.66]	The black vote mean nathan, who you gonna elect
[00:57.66]	Satan or Satan? In the hood nothin is changin, uh
[01:00.48]	We ain't got no choices who to choose
[01:02.60]	Ten-years ago they were tryin to stop our voices
[01:04.91]	And end Hip-Hop, they some hypocrites
[01:07.10]	Condoleeza Rice - I don't really get this chick
[01:09.91]	Tell her if she ever really cared about poor schools
[01:12.16]	About poor children, then she gotta prove that she
[01:15.10]	ain't just another coon Uncle Tom fool
[01:17.35]	Like these MC's, gotta give 'em the rules
[01:19.79]	Lie to the youth, Uncle Tom you confused
[01:21.73]	Might as well give the Hip-Hop community a noose
[01:24.29]	Need a truce with the gangs and some food for the hungry
[01:27.10]	On Kerry nuts, he look at you like a monkey
[01:29.54]	You MC's on that old slavery path
[01:31.10]	The Bushs'll look at yo' ass and laugh
[01:33.35]	See, it's all about community, let's help ourselves
[01:36.54]	Cops brutalize us get dealt with with shells
[01:39.48]	It's our turn, it's 'bout time we win
[01:41.47]	Need somebody as the hood as my councilman, uh
[01:44.35][Chorus: Kelis]
[01:45.16]	Yeah I think about this everyday, that's the American Way, shit
[01:48.66]	Yeah I think about this everyday, that's the American Way, shit

[02:02.81]	Up in the steam room chillin', exfoliating the skin
[02:05.37]	It's rarely men conversatin' on ends, probably businessmen
[02:07.74]
[02:08.84]	I sense good taste, and they watch us, the spots an expensive place
[02:12.27]	Manhattan New York, I'm try'na keep steamin'
[02:15.27]	It's good for the lungs, had plans for the evening
[02:17.46]	This man leans in, his boys laughing
[02:19.40]	Now I'm the spokesperson for Black men, this always happens
[02:22.90]	Says, "Since all Black women care about is who got dough
[02:25.27]	And all we do is call them either bitch or a Black hoe"
[02:28.40]	I say first brotha you ain't gotta be that cold
[02:30.15]	Since you ignorant, I'ma show you how the facts go
[02:32.03]	The biggest example in scandal of history
[02:34.52]	Were Monica Lewinksy or Donald Trump's pimping spree
[02:37.03]	Most woman who love Jeevanji of Gucci
[02:40.02]	Are pretentious non-Black groupies or floozies
[02:42.21]	But who are we to blame, not the dames
[02:44.65]	It's a man-made game, in essence our woman the same
[02:47.02]	Beautiful creatures, Black girls birthed the earth
[02:49.09]	So they deserve to earn man's purse
