Slavery Was a Choice Pt. 1 [May 1, 2018]

I don't think people necessarily
Understand what happened
Last week with the Make America Great
Again hat what are you trying to
Do with the message you're sending?

It was really just my subconscious it was a
Feeling I had, you know like, people
We're taught how to feel we're taught how to
Think we don't know how to think for
Ourselves we don't know how to feel
For ourselves people say feel free
But they don't really
Want us to feel free and, uh, I
Felt a freedom in first of all
Just doing something that everybody tells
You not to do

I just love Trump! That's my
Boy! You know like, so many
Rappers, you'll look at a video
Of Snoop Dogg loving Trump
But then he get into office
And now they don't love him trump is one of
Rap's favorite people right?

But we talked about this, that
Before he was elected president
People in hip-hop it was an in thing to
Put Donald Trump in your rhymes somewhere

And by the way, i'm in hip-hop but I'm not
Just in hip-hop i'm
A black person in the black community but
I'm not just that i feel
Like one thing is that
People try to minimize me to
Artist, hip-hop, black communityyeah
I'm always gonna represent that but
I also represent the world

You hear about slavery for 400 years for
400 years? That sound like a
Choice! You was there for 400 years
And it was all of y'all?

It's like we're mentally imprisoned i
Like the word 'prison'
Because slavery goes too
Direct to the idea of blacks it's
Like slavery Holocaust, Holocaust Jews
Slavery is blacksso prison is something that
Unites us as one race
Blacks and whites being one race
That we're the human race
Do you feel that I'm being free?
And that I'm thinking free?

I actually don't think that
You're thinking anything
I think what you're doing right
Now is actually the absence of thought
And the reason why I
Feel like that is because Kanye
You're entitled to your opinion
You're entitled
To believe whatever you want, but
There is fact, and real-world
Real-life consequence behind everything that
You just said

While you are making music
And being an artist, and living
The life that you've earned
By being a genius
The rest of us in society have
To deal with these threats to our
Lives we have to deal with
The marginalization that has come from the
400 years that you said
For our people was a choice!

Frankly, I'm disappointed i'm
Appalled and brother
I am unbelievably hurt by
The fact that you have morphed
Into something, to me, that's not real
