After Kayne West's 'Bush doesn't care about black people' speech that was a blight on an otherwise positive relief program, I thought I'd see what sort of positive role model he was. Hey, if he's a smart guy with something to say, then he should have his day, shouldn't he?

Excuse the language:

Get 'em High:
"Is in the pocket like wallets, I got the bounce like hydrolicsI can't call it, I got the swerve like alchoooool-icsMy freshman year I was goin through hell, a problemStill I, built up the nerve to drop my ass up outta collllllll-egeMy teacher said I'se a loser, I told her why don't you kill meI give a fuck if you fail me, I'm gonna folllllllllll-owMy heart, and if you follow the charts, to the plaques or the stacksYou ain't gotta guess who's back, you seeI'm so shy that you thought it was bashfull but thisbastard's flow will bash a skullAnd I will, cut your girl like Pastor TroyAnd I don't, usually smoke but pass the 'droAnd I won't, give you that money that you askin fo'Why you think, me and Dame cool, we assholesThat's why we here your music in fast fo'Cuz we don't wanna here that weak shit no mo'"

We Don't Care:
"The second verse is for my dogs working 9 to 5That still hustle cause a nigga can't shine off $6.55And everybody selling make-up, JacobsAnd bootleg tapes just to get they cake upWe put shit on layaway then come backWe claim other people kids on our income taxWe take that money cop work than push packs to get paidAnd we don't care what people sayMomma say she wanna move south -acap"

What I don't get is why he needed a Red Cross telethon to voice his political opinion. He has lyrics and a platform already. Why not use those for a positive message? Everyone else around him wasn't 'scared' or 'chicken' as I've heard them called, they were all working together for a positve cause and putting aside any political, economic or personal issues until those in harms way got the help they needed.

Except Kayne West.

Here's the thing... if we are going to get our 'ations' 'ists' and 'isms' correct, it isn't Racism that caused this problem, it was Economic Discrimination.
