[Lupe Fiasco - Bars Dedicated to DL Hughley lyrics]
Smartest men I've ever heard
Challenged you through his comedy and
Displayed the power of words
My brother Dave Chappelle is a genius through
His show you saw the proof
Wittily exposed the lies and had
Us laughing at the truth
Foxworthy, Katt, Chris Rock, Richard Pryor
Dick Gregory was the king
But from your shows it must be told
I never learned a fucking thing
Eddie Griffin through his riffin' appeals to
A higher sense of purpose
Takes our darkest deepest ignorances and
Pulls them to the surface
Turns them into food for thought
It's funny but you thinking
A comics power is they use the fun
To overcome forgive me if I'm reaching
They always spoke the truth to power
In a disguised and friendly bit
Only a comic can diss a president and
Even have him laughing at the shit
What happened to that? Strong social
Critiques thru thoughtful comedic jabs?
But, you'd rather do "yo mama" jokes
Cause some heckler got you mad
I hate to break the news
But, I love that it will be spoke
You didn't take your comedy seriously
So now YOU are the fucking joke!
