Kanye West:  I hate the way they portray us in the media.  If you see a black family, it says they're looting.  You see a white family, it says they're looking for food...


Verse 1 - E Luv
Eyes tracin’ like a Cylon
Watchin’ for the punk as- deer that fu--ed my ride up
Just got outta work cause my manager called this bullshi- meeting
Now I’m all out the fu--in’ mood for studio time with the M-XC
So without the Crew, I need to figure out what the fu-- to do
Got them Friday night blues - a motherfu--er stuck in his fu--in’ room
It wouldn’t be the first time, and certainly not the last
Shi- with $3 gas, all I REALLY want to do is beat your president’s fu--in’ as-

Hey you know what - that sounds like a plan...
Been playin’ the game for long enough, like Homie, it’s time to bop the man
But I ain’t no fu--in’ clown, and this is a slap in the face
republicans remind me of nazis, reasoning with them is such a fu--in’ waste
Two tears in a bucket, fu-- it I said it - now you wanna get all mad
But I’m not the one who sent your luved ones to die for oil in Iraq
Why don’t you focus your anger for once, you need to admit when you’re wrong
Being an American means more than putting a fu--in’ magnet on your car

Who the fu-- am I supposed to root for - I’m all types of confused
Can’t see myself rooting for the enemy, but sure as fu-- won’t root for you
So fu-- the stupid half the nation and fu-- your punk administration
Didn’t think I would say shi-, but I gotta deal with this frustration
Constructively, this shi-'s been buggin’ me - need to quit fu--in’ wit' me
I don’t see us too far removed from slavery and not long ago - the sixties
So fu-- bush and fu-- everybody who likes that motherfu--er
I’ll take my belt off and commence to beat his bitc- as- with the buckle


Kanye West: ...you see a white family, it says they're looking for food.  And you know it's been five days because most of the people are black...


Verse 2 - E Luv
Runnin’ through the white house - wit’ my fu--in’ nine out
Huntin’ for your president to blow his fu--in’ brains out
For years now - people been complainin' that I cus too much
But people in this country don't listen 'til you start blowin' shi- up
Take a few hostages, maybe chop heads - then video tape some shi-
Yeah, then they'll start takin' us seriously - feel it in the music
I'm coming out with the fu-- the government shi- - the violent shi-
The motherfu--in' suburban shoot the school up shi- - you've come to expect

From the M-XC, that first stanza had no intent so no felony
Now watch how the motherflocking sheepish masses’ll berate The E
Deflect attention from the farse rightwing and fu--in’ crucify me
Force PR explaining and have me all up on the news apologizing
Fu-- that - we not pullin’ this fu--in’ track
Let’s put the focus back on a government that is largely smokin’ crack
You need to take a step the fu-- back and look at the fu--in’ facts
Your president is a maniac - don’t fu--in’ hate on me, I just made the rap

...On 9-11, motherfu--az were shocked, we were like what the fu--
...On 9-12, there was nothin' but luv, motherfu--az were hugged up
By Nine Thirteen, that shi- was over, either he's that stupid
Or the crackhead in the office knew exactly what he was doin'
How many didn't fit into his religion, didn't agree with his decisions?
Didn't get their vote counted, didn't get that tax relief he was pitchin'?
Take your pick: either he's incompetent or corrupt and shi-
You still support that fool, you should be fu--in' ashamed to be American


Kanye West: ...the way america is setup to help the poor, the black people, the less well off as slow as possible...


Verse 3 - E Luv
Again I call your bitc- as- out, look at your fu--in' cowboy now
Again caught with pants down, you voted for some fu--in' clowns
This is all a joke to them, you put your trust and hope in them
Day One, Day Two, Day Three, Day Four - fu--in' nothin'
They try to make these people look like savages and animals
But they were forsaken - motherfu--er, it's all about survival
I'd steal supplies too, I'd do what the fu-- I had to do
The government's not coming - in so many words they said fu-- you

Reactive in preparedness, proactive in arrogance
Why does this shi- keep happenin', fu-- these republicans
Government saw it coming - said fu-- the poor and dropped the ball
Can't imagine what would happen if some punk as- terrorist dropped the bomb
Tired of that motherfu--er babblin' on about stayin' the course
He needs to step down - let me run it, shi- I can't do much worse
Tired of weak, shady leadership, that caters to corporations
Always on vacation, understatin' and underestimatin' situations

Sickening, disgusting - worst fu--in' administration in history
I'm running out of adjectives - all this incompetence is staggering
And this proves unquestionably that bush has no idea what he's doing
he's like a pitcher that got fu--in' rocked for 10 runs in one inning
Needs to be relieved - fu--in' throw out this government immediately
Everytime shi- goes wrong, he runs crying to Clinton and his daddy
Unforgetable, unforgiveable - (Kanye West: george bush doesn't care about black people)
In the end, he'd probably win a third term if it was possible


Kanye West: ...slow as possible.  I mean this is, Red Cross is doing everything they can.  We already realize a lot of the people that could help are at war right now fighting another way, and they've given them permission to go down and shoot us.
