Flatline ii

Tesla shit on Edison, food should be your medicine
Started dropping elements, shit been crazy ever since
Food should be your medicine, Tesla shit on Edison
Started dropping elements, shit been crazy ever since
Don't ask me who I'm voting for, Donkey or a Elephant
I do not have a preference, now miss me with that extra shit
I am not a pessimist, I'm just too intelligent
I learned to see the world the way it is and make the best of it
A leader to a state is like a God to a Reverend
One hell of a interest even better when I'm exiting
Brand new [?], Ain't got time for questioning
Shooting through the rhetoric, I think I need an extra clip [?]
I ain't got a ghost writer, this is not a reference
I switch the style up, Eddy Gordo on some Tekken shit
Whoo!
Evidence, plus I got the evidence
Mother Earth, eh, what's up bitch? What's your measurements?
What if Donald Trump was really Mexican? What if a Black Man never was President?

Flatline
Navigating the field of landmines
Black crime, Black minds
There's no superior bloodline, Yeaup!
Fuck award shows, we need justice in the courtroom
When I get to talking real shit, they say "You bugging dude."
It's gonna take more than getting some trending ['] on Twitter
It's gonna take more than fucking COEXIST bumper stickers!
The question, I always hear this question, "How did you get into the music business, were you let in? Or blessed in?"
I'm guessing, I never signed my name in blood or sacrificed my best friend
I got as far as I could go before I hit a dead end
Sit back and let it set in
Hollywood loves making niggas wear dresses
This is where I step in
And I know you don't wanna hear it
Nigga's writing conscious lyrics, just to sell out concert tickets
Nigga's buy or bought a Polo, Polo never sponsor niggas
Tommy never one of the niggas rocking Hilfiger
Niggas doing charity to be a real nigga, but when the camera's off they don't wanna deal with you

When I had cured these people, sick as hell, and lupus, and herpes, and blindness, I was happy! I said "Now, I can go to all the leaders, I could go to Minister Farrakhan [?], I could go to Jesse Jackson, I could go to Al Sharpton, I could go to Oprah Winfrey, but what I found out, I was mistaken. I was wrong. They are NOT interested in the healing of any black people
That's an explosive claim
That is not an explosive statement! That is a reality! There isn't a black leader in America, that is interested in the health of the black race
You say that because they refused to interact with you?
They are not in the position to respond. If they were, my first case of Aids was cured in 1984. And since then, we've been curing people of lupus and herpes and cancer and blindness, not ONE black leader ever said "Well let us help the brother."

BANDZ!
Flatline
Fooled us for the last time
Flatline, Flatline
There's no superior bloodline, dead

People asking me, like "Why Bobby Ray saying all this crazy ass shit? You think he really means it?" Like this shit ain't crazy, this shit is real, dawg. He's always been rapping real shit
