Thought Vs Everybody

In just a few moments
 We will hear from the most powerful black man in America today
 Everybody
 I don't think you heard me
 The most powerful black man in the world
 Ay, yo
 They asked why I seem so solemn
 On the throne between three stone columns
 Y'all know the name, fuckin' up the game, no condoms
 Everybody goddamn first world problem
 The truth is inconvenient as non-believers
 Fearing DACA dreamers instead of FEMA
 Bentley, Benz or a Beamer, Fiji or Aquafina
 (Everybody, every goddamn body)
 We fuck around and be the next Iwo Jima
 The tides risin' at the same time like they synchronized
 For makin' art, for makin' love, for makin' Hajj
 The home is where the hatred lies, they takin' lives
 But everybody just so saved and sanctified
 Then they rely upon, we, the few defiant ones
 (Everybody, every goddamn body)
 Communicate in the higher forms than Viacom
 To dialogue before the raw or the riot horn
 I wonder on which side of the lines I belong?
 Lady Liberty face full of concealer
 I'm half Masta Killa and half Hugh Masekela
 Latrophobia, that's a fear of the healer
 Kaepernick is an activist, y'all in fear of the kneeler
 Everything's obtuse, nothin' is obscene
 Another young life was lost on live stream
 Another great fell from grace in high esteem
 Then the clock struck thirteen, we in some kind of dream
 First, I'm handling first things
 Decipher what it means to a planet of earthlings
 Where the question remains, am I am journal or journalist?
 Herbal eternalist, olympic tournament level genius author, affirmative
 Though turnin' back and returnin', I'm not concerned with it
 The permanent ink paved the way out the turbulence
 My hands against the wall outside a billiards hall
 I hear police discussin' whether to try and kill us all
 I questioned if that would matter
 Life is like a tree that falls in the woods
 Even with iPhone footage to see it fall
 Great men chose the Papermate Pen or State Pen
 The firin' pin of a pistol aimed at a playpen
 We go from musket to a missile to a revelation
 (Everybody, every goddamn body)
 Between heaven and Satan, while I'm steady creatin'
 And try to separate the truth from the lies that they told us
 I even heard the Soviet's, the 45th POTUS
 That ain't the photo they showed us, or acceptin' the onus
 Did they Washington us? My condolence to y'all diplomas
 Here's a bonus, the point of view to make things see through
 If I'm a walking institution, I'm a HBCU
 Face the music, keepin' it moving's one of the great things we do
 Yo, the devil's tryna to put together his gang, me too
 And whether you come from Lagos or Trinidad and Tobago
 You can either stay broke or be wealthy as Jeff Bezos
 If you just stay woke, I was in the dark then day broke
 (Everybody, every goddamn body)
 Directin' questions to my ancestors, until they spoke now
 Inherently rockin' the disco currently
 Bars is cryptocurrency, hypnotherapy
 Shittin' on everything, 5'9, 6'4 lyrically
 Crystal clarity, wonder how I spit so thoroughly
 Stay so hungry, rappers can't get no mercy
 (Everybody, every goddamn body)
 That's the reason any other one who spit won't verse me
 It's so lonely in my own class "Formerly known as"
 And the inscription that your headstone has
 On my own path, in my own world like Disney's
 I feel the fuckin' system failed just like kidneys
 Up steps the one who upsets all carriages
 'Cause it's imperative we change the narrative
 Yeah and that's Thought vs Everybody
 Listen, check it out, that go to everybody
 Yo, I got myself over everybody
 Yeah, every goddamn body
