Shut Up and Play

Shut up nigger and just run that damn ball
I didn't give permission for you to stand tall
You need to be effeminate about social issues
We pay you millions of dollars so how could you
Disrespect our U.S. flag by silently sitting on your ass
You're supposed to have black skin but wear a white mask
Frantz Fanon wrote a book about it to help you understand
To be successful instead of distressful; act like the white man
Not those of us that constantly perpetuate extreme violence
But the ones who've decided to capitulate and remain silent
You must not've paid attention in class as we tried to indoctrinate you
So now we must blackball you so no one else chooses to do as you do
Goddamn it, now you got Beast Mode and others sitting like a domino effect
Y'all are supposed to shut up and play ball until you're used up and decrepit
Helping us become wealthier by getting paid hand over fist
Not bringing attention to police brutality and other types of shit
Thought we saw the last of a dying breed with Ali and the Vietnam war
But we're starting to see an increase of the Alpha males more and more
The constant videos of us killing folks was supposed to instill fear
Guess y'all a resilient bunch of fuckers since strength is still there
How is that possible after all of the terroristic acts directed towards your people
We've assassinated and decimated your heroes but you're still trying to be equal
Cognitive dissonance has Mike Vick and them speaking in defiance of your cause
Looking and sounding like goofy ass castrated monkeys who've lost their sacks and balls
They're not black they're O.J. so the enlightened of you pay no mind to what they say
So we gotta regroup and recruit some of your misguided youth and put it in the music you play
