Kanye West - On Politics lyrics

React how you want any energy you
Got is good energy you know
The Confederate flag represented slavery
That’s my abstract
Take on what I know about it

So I made the song "New Slaves"
So I took the Confederate
Flag and made it my flag it’s my flag now
Now whatchu gonna do?

It looks cool i like at maybe
800 images a day you know
I’ve been working on clothing seriously
For the past 11 years

It’s colorless also it’s super, like
Hood and super white-boy-approved at
The same time
And that’s really what my style’s
Always been, because I lived
In the suburbs, where, you
Know, I was known as the Black kid
And I lived in the hood where I was known as
The kid who spent his summers in the suburbs
My dad was a military brat
And he would be around white
People back then when
It was like, racism was really popular and
People would be racist against him
And he’d get around Black
People and they’d kinda
Discriminate against him because they’d
Say he acted
‘white’ or talked ‘white’ So there are times
When I’ll talk and you’ll hear some
Of that white -or what
People call ‘white’ -the
Suburb voice come through and it’s times
You’ll hear some of that Chicago come through
I’m influenced by all those things

I lived in China when I was in fifth
Grade with my mother, she’s
An English professor, and she taught high
Level English and it was my hint at being a
Celebrity because they hadn’t seen
Black people on TV
So people would stare at me all the time

There will never be another Backstreet Boys
Not in this day
And age it’s gonna be artists
Like Lorde, singer songwriters
That are gonna come up this is Instagram
This is the information highway and I talk
To these heads, you know, these
Older dudes that run companies
And it’s hilarious to me! I only
Listen to people who are
Younger than me! These are the
Only people with ideas you
Cannot give me any advice! You
Can help me you
Can support Donda you can cut a check but
I have the ideas! No one older than me
Has a better idea than me because I’m
The only 36 year old me!
I’m the most relevant
Voice on the planet Earth, at age 36
Post being the most hated so don’t try to
Tell me anything! Help me! Help me
Help other people

We are uncomfortable 500 kids are dying in
Chicago a year we are uncomfortable
Just because we’re being a gated community
Doesn’t mean that things are comfortable

The thing is
We have the resources on this planet to
Have a human utopia, to have
Respect for each other
Mankind we have that but we’re too concerned
About getting the next Hollywood
Film on Netflix
We have the resources there’s new
Billionaires everyday you apply
The right type
Of thinkers, like the Elon Musks
The people with the real ideas

Like, politics is dead it’s over with these
Kids need some type of real truth
