about

Don't tell us not to be political. We will get political.

Track pricing adjusted for inflation.

lyrics

If you don't like our opinions, now don't cry (don't cry)
Cause we like getting political, no lie (no lie)
And if our truth is a message you don't like,
Then do us a favor and unfollow us, goodbye (goodbye)
If you don't like our opinions, now don't cry (don't cry)
Cause we like getting political, no lie (no lie)
And if our truth is a message you don't like
Then do us a favor and unfollow us, goodbye (goodbye)

O hai, hello dimness, my old friend, I see you're back at this again
You're out here looking for a fight, the kind of fight that no one wins
Did I diss you or dismiss you? Nothing of the sort
I only took a stand in favor of a thing you don't support

And when I do so that's when you go, "you should stick to rapping"
Well, if the world weren't always burning, that could happen
If I could just focus on my work instead of you, I would
Threaten to revoke your fandom? I'm like, "fuck it, do it, good"

You don't like me, you don't need me, and that feeling goes both ways
Superfan, how come I never saw your name before today?
If only now you're so offended, then I'm getting the impression
That you haven't listened to a thing I've written since '07

Oh, the irony! You follow the leader and call me "sheeple"
'Cause I've basic human empathy and care for other people
Come and get it, kid, I'm ready, ban hammer in hand
And brace for the block-bath when this shit hits the fans

If you don't like our opinions, now don't cry (don't cry)
Cause we like getting political, no lie (no lie)
And if our truth is a message you don't like
Then do us a favor and unfollow us, goodbye (goodbye)
If you don't like our opinions, now don't cry (don't cry)
Cause we like getting political, no lie (no lie)
And if our truth is a message you don't like
Then do us a favor and unfollow us, goodbye (goodbye)

Matter fact, Imma block you
Bigots always tell me artists have to stay neutral
That I should "play both sides" to get the public's approval
That I should "stay professional" to keep my business as usual
But I don't need to placate all you dumb shits, I think I'd rather be truthful

I don't wanna stay neutral, my opinions are popular, actually widely accepted
Factual, practical, highly respected
I'll never be cancelled, derided, rejected
For getting the vax, or siding with mandates
Knowing the facts ain't dividing my fanbase
'Cause my fans are great and they believe in that
And if you don't agree, then eat my ass

Putting on blast all antivax
And I love being nasty, I'm havin' a blast
Had a fuck ass tryna get me banned
I got reported for bullying and I had to laugh
He was spamming my comments with hate and obscenity
That being said, I'm the bully allegedly?
End of the day, guess who got Zucced?
I'm still around, not him, get fucked

I write to make all the alt-rights hit the ceiling
Fragile snowflakes don't find it quite so appealing
If you're offended by this verse I'd say it's kinda revealing
I back science, and facts don't care 'bout your feelings

If you don't like our opinions, now don't cry (don't cry)
Cause we like getting political, no lie (no lie)
And if our truth is a message you don't like,
Then do us a favor and unfollow us, goodbye (goodbye)
If you don't like our opinions, now don't cry (don't cry)
Cause we like getting political, no lie (no lie)
And if our truth is a message you don't like,
Then do us a favor and unfollow us, goodbye (goodbye)

I love this whole album: It just captures a wide range of experiences and affects the listener with a wide range of emotions. I first liked this album because of the nerdcore elements, but I fell in love when I realized that these verses were true poetry, speaking to a deeper truth and beauty unlike most hip-hop I've heard. "A Poet" exemplifies this with its bittersweet message about how poetry is not valued. This is the first hip-hop tune I've ever shed a tear over. Take a bow, Mega Ran. platinumazure
