Anthem 4 Rappers Wrapped in The Flag
Anthem 4 Rappers Wrapped in The Flag

Oh Jay Can U C
By the dawn of Imperialist greed
They will eat u 2
After they fatten u up to deceive
U took the bait 
So they call u great
The white man’s oldest trick in the book

Oh Jay can u c
We got them on the ropes
But u given em hope sellin that dope
Marcy project style
We should’ve known then 
you’d sell out kin 
Does it pay enough?

Oh Jay can u c
A rapper wrapped in the Flag
Is a Bum B Clot rag
That don’t rap for the people no more

Oh Jay can U C
The league is the draft for the volunteer Army
Check the commercial breaks
Be all U can Be

Ain’t that what they say J  Z?

U rocking the twist now but don’t get it twisted 
Smith and Carlos did it two fisted
Kap took a knee
Mahmoud did it in prayer
Yet you dare 
To obscure the collective anti-imperialist message because their Imperialists feed your capitalist greed

Oh Jay, by capitalism’s dimming light, u gotta C the trap

Or is Rock Nation part of it?
