Who said Hip Hop lost its creativity? Who said it was dead? Apparently no one bothered to give Pittsburgh artist Jasiri X with the memo. He’s been on fire, dropping a thematic song each week. Today he raises the stakes with an incredible song featuring Prez Obama.. If you can’t feel this, then unfollow me from Twitter and give us back your Hip Hop pass.. This is what we like to call ‘Pure Butta’..
Here’s what Jasiri has to say..;” President Barack Obama looking to boast his sagging approval rating teams up with conscious rapper Jasiri X on a song designed to change the media’s negative portrayal of Black man. Ballers and Rappers-the Season Finale of This Week With Jasiri X, was produced by Black Czer and directed by Paradise the Arkitech of X-Clan”
LYRICS
We not-Not just Ballers or Rappers
Gun clappers or athlete that run faster
We not-Not just Ballers or Rappers
trappers or actors a brothers runnin NASA
We not-Not just Ballers or Rappers
we the masters of anything that u hand us
We not-Not just Ballers or Rappers
this is a new chapter that’s called the Hearafter
no presidential pardon for the elements that charge us
with just being criminals because the television stars us
and cause you got fame don’t mean your relevant to march us
and since you not a leader than your negligence will harm us
and when we say a leader than our reference is a martyr
like nobody today can take a message from the father
impart it to our sons and give the lessons to our daughters
except Lebron Lil wayne or President Obama
nada we gotta a lot of activist and scholars
organizing the hood for the good and not the dollars
holla every unsung hero I wanna honor
from the Burg to Bahamas consider this good karma
Imma give ya light cause of the fact they want to bury us
CNN don’t know bout being Black in America
and Fox news is like non stop fools
that’s why I drop jewels cause Real Hip-Hop Rules
We not-Not just Ballers or Rappers
Gun clappers or athlete that run faster
We not-Not just Ballers or Rappers
trappers or actors a brothers runnin NASA
We not-Not just Ballers or Rappers
we the masters of anything that u hand us
We not-Not just Ballers or Rappers
this is a new chapter that’s called the Hearafter
we so much greater than how they portray us as
with more champions than Kobe and the Lakers have
but they always make us have guns mad faces and
disgraces and show the world our shame like a naked man
I hate it man so I guess I gotta take a stand
cause I rep the X like the flag from Jamaica man
and when I say Jamaica u think Usain Bolt
or a Dred that came by boat with Mary Jane to smoke
Like our brains are broke and we just came to joke
like new millennium slaves with the chains round our throats
but our own laziness it what I blame the most
we can’t achieve if we just believe in change and hope
find our lane and coast and remain the folks
that just slang the dope and only aim the toast
gang bang and boast
we need retrained and reeducated so we don’t get the same results
We not-Not just Ballers or Rappers
Gun clappers or athlete that run faster
We not-Not just Ballers or Rappers
trappers or actors a brothers runnin NASA
We not-Not just Ballers or Rappers
we the masters of anything that u hand us
We not-Not just Ballers or Rappers
this is a new chapter that’s called the Hearafter
We not just good at representing the hood
just because they show that life all night like Suge
We not-Not just Ballers or Rappers
Gun clappers or athlete that run faster
We not-Not just Ballers or Rappers
trappers or actors a brothers runnin Nasa
We not-Not just Ballers or Rappers
we the masters of anything that u hand us
We not-Not just Ballers or Rappers
this is a new chapter that’s called the Hearafter
