about

Kaepernick takes a knee to protest police violence against Black folks. People that always went to the bathroom and concession stands during games got mad. Other players took a knee in support of Kaepernick, then the President starts mouthing off. Now the owners are taking knees. We have come so far from the original reason that Kaep took a knee in the first place. Lol.

lyrics

Verse 1
Shout to the players taking knees,
Bigger shout to those in their communities,
Cause symbolisms pretty good I guess,
Entreprenegusisms even best,
Start a couple businesses the coin to do it,
Show these youngsters that giving back ain’t nothing to it,
Show these older dudes they can lend a hand,
Show your peers rebuilding your hood makes you the man,
High school drop some dough for it,
Need new book homie go for it,
Tell the ball players get that free degree,
a launching pad fuck the easy B,
Most of them won’t even sniff the league,
Don’t be harsh or shit on their dreams,
But when they graduate put a couple on your team,
Pay it forward that’s how you really lead.

Chorus:
That’s what leaders do,
(repeat 3 times).

Verse 2
Shout to these rappers active in the game,
Bigger shout to these cats with more money than fame,
Ya’ll know these labels do not give a fuck,
Some of ya’ll muthafuckas are still caught up,
These younger spitters did it themselves,
You rather talk shit then lend them some help,
Speak on the pitfalls but ain’t doing the shit,
Their money dwarfing yours now you envious,
You do not like the music our parents hated ours,
Guidance we should be choosing teach them to be a star,
Bread appreciate before another ride,
Value diminish when they take a drive,
Tell’em they managers they shouldn’t trust,
Have their own lawyer contracts never rush,
Use that rapping as a springboard,
Put your squad together stay on one accord.

Chorus:
That’s what leaders do,
(repeat 3 times).

Verse 3
Negroes love slogans that’s what Damon say,
Like chanting shit together take the pain away,
Blacks Live Matter cause of killer cops,
Did you see the videos think the killing stop,
No justice no peace what we say we want,
Why the fuck you do it at a Houston’s restaurant,
You know how many black spots in the A,
Should’ve been going there in the first place,
Fuck Dove on my timeline feels worthless,
Buy a bar of Dial defeats the purpose,
No NFL til Kaep get a gig,
going back owners don’t give a shit,
Mad cause they injecting collagen,
Chess not checkers quote thee arsonist,
Argue over empty shit distracts from the truth,
Ignore the white noise is what leaders do.

Chorus:
That’s what leaders do,
(repeat 3 times).
