D.O.A. (Death of Asinine)

Posted in African Diaspora, Hip Hop, Social Commentary, Spoken Word, dope poets society by Speaks Beliefs on August 2, 2009

A Dope Poets Society Collaboration

explosion

only men to rewrite history without a sin
Dope Poets with the pen, let the story begin…
begin… begin

(SB)
this is anti-BET, death of buffoonery
this ain’t for comedy, this ain’t for Weezy
this is Malcolm on the Hajj, with Qur’an
guided by the Five Pillars, of Islam
strong, my acts may be not perfect
don’t disgrace my clan, nor do i infect
our culture, with behavior considered raunchy
this make dummies want degrees from universities
ah, got knowledge cookin’
aimed at ignorant folk, i’m so Zion
i know Obama is the prez
but y’all shuckin’ and jivin’ goin’ erase the next election
ah, all your lack of respect men
don’t just make kids, fathers raise your children
ah, ah.. my venom, a requirement
this is death of asinine, moment of silence…

(mosaeus)
This aint a #1 record (ah)
This is practical, logical; will be slept on (ah)
I made this for the West men
Dr. Cornel & Yeezy, mad respect them.
(ah) Stop your blood-clot complaining
The world is yours; stop being complacent and take it.
You boys’ jeans too low, your colors don’t flow, unhomo.
I might honor black for a year straight (ah)
I might bring back loving our race (ah)
This aint for 106 and Park
But Speaks told me, illuminate and keep ‘em out the dark (ah)
This is for all my brethren
Forefathers, for the Motherland (ah)
Yeah, let’s bust your hymen
This is death of asinine, moment of silence…

One time for the haters on the left
One time for cats doing it to death
And by death, I mean y’all killin’ it
Put sheets over your careers, I’m not feelin’ it
It’s for bloggers taking this askew
If 1/2 your blog’s bout Breezy, I’m talkin’ bout you
Tweetin’ like birds, not sayin’ nothin new
Shoulda called the Bomb Squad for all the nonsense you blew
Same goes for the patriots patronizing ignorance
Sly foxes make up the news, you’re still auto-tuned
Been pissed ever since
Reagan dropped crack in our project residence
No wonder so many rappers have it out for dead presidents
Drop jewels, drop the labels, more medicine
Like Rakim, put wack rappers into retirement
Bow your heads, respect, moment of silence …

Inspired by Jay-Z’s D.O.A. [Death of Auto-Tune]

    anytime bro! We’ve been talking about doing something collective for a while now and I’m just glad to have the opportunity to jump on this joint with both Jose and yourself… I think it’s safe to say, we killed that motherfather! LOL
