This is part 2 of my response to @stephenasmith but it's beyond that. #charlamagnethagod never came at for anything but I do believe both of these can be dangerous to our community if they continue to share #maga type views as well as engage in misinformation and disinformation. Lyrics are below. I'm not interested in distracks and tearing people down. I just people to use their platforms to build us up instead of tearing us down. Would love your thougths and please share if you like!
My part 1 to Stephen A Smith: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEaT-bB_WMk&t=2s
Gotta make it plain, Stephen A & Charlamagne
Don’t just use your platform to chastise and blame
This ain’t a game, it’s a shame how you doin’ us wrong
And it’s almost too late for y’all to come back home
For real this ain’t a dis song, it’s a wish song
Wish these guys wouldn’t go along to get along
But Stephen A & Charlamagne be loud and wrong
And every single day abuse their platform
In all good Jess(t) this ain’t hilarious
I don’t Envy their position, just being honest
With an audience like yours gotta do factchecks
Gotta do your research when talkin politics
But are you really ’bout research or propaganda?
From the false equivalences and double standards
Are you purely posing questions or proppin’ up MAGA?
Sad to see Black celebrities supportin’ this saga
You spit fire and it’s burnin’ turnin’ into arsons
Used to ride with you but now we don’t know who you are sons
For real my appeal is to have no harm done
We just don’t want y’all to be Black Tucker Carlsons
Gotta make it plain, Stephen A & Charlamagne
Don’t just use your platform to chastise and blame
This ain’t a game, it’s a shame how you doin’ us wrong
And it’s almost too late for y’all to come back home
It’s a point of pride Hannity won’t have me back on
You proud with misinformation leading our people on?
You droppin’ these mockeries of journalism
Then when you get challenged you preach paternalism
Charlamagne say “Don’t challenge Snoop! He’s done a lot!”
Stephen A says “shut up! See the money Snoop got!!”
And I beg your pardon, let’s talk about pardons
Focus on the facts and not increasing your stardom
You more mad at Biden but Trump be lyin’,
While he cuts Black contracts, deported Blacks cryin
Biden pardoned police, Trump pardoned their attackers
But y’all focus on Biden to please your backers
Y’all need to rep us again (if you ever did)
Who said you’re Black leaders? We never did
We don’t know who you are or whose you are anymore
But if you ever spoke for Black folk, you don’t no more.
Gotta make it plain, Stephen A & Charlamagne
Don’t just use your platform to chastise and blame
This ain’t a game, it’s a shame how you doin’ us wrong
And it’s almost too late for y’all to come back home
And while I make it plain on Stephen A. & Charlemagne
It’s for the media where I have the most disdain
They see Black entertainers as our leaders, not cool
They love Black folks who are loud and act like fools
Like Leo 2.0 and Diamond & Silk
Or grifters like Candace Owens and the system they milk
Barkley one of the greatest NBA players, true
But that don’t make him qualified to speak on politics too
So why y’all book these dudes? What’s their appeal?
Do you respect Black intellect in any field?
And you can really take your pick there are thousands of ’em
You know the Dysons, Kendis, Nicole-Jones and them
Y’all want that “dynomite” Black but we blowin’ that up
Pickin cats who not like cause they don’t like us
But we ain’t goin’ nowhere except away from your shows
Til you book scholars and leaders our community knows!
Gotta make it plain, Stephen A & Charlamagne
Don’t just use your platform to chastise and blame
This ain’t a game, it’s a shame how you doin’ us wrong
And it’s almost too late for y’all to come back home
