about

gangsta rap, written in amsterdam's detention centre, 2012

lyrics

I wanna get out but I don't wanna go home
I wanna sing for all the people 'cause I gotta be known
It's imperative for me to see my name up in lights
But I don't gotta lie and I don't gotta fight
I'm gonna go as hard as I really can
To say, "Fuck the police!" and "Fuck the man!"
He's holdin' me down with metaphysical things—
The mechanics of the mind—and he be taxin' my bling

Hit the road, Jack...

He's pushin' you down just like Karl Marx predicted
You say, "Fuck the superstructure; this opiate's addictive!"
Only way I know how to get outta chains
Is to release your mind like you're illin' from pain
Pain inside from losin' the game
Pain of every day just feelin' the same
If you're feelin' sedated, just smoke a bowl
Steer clear of the blow, and take it easy, yo

Hit the road, Jack...

Like Kanye West and little Young Jeezy
I find failure impossible and killin' it easy
It's not in my vocab to give up the ghost
It's in my best interest to put on a good show
And to ask you, "Can you be the president?"
And, "Are you prepared to lose your life for this?"
Because anything less ain't worth givin' a shit
If you want it bad you gonna have to work for it
Work your way through the pack 'til you're the king-hitter
Try to keep from becomin' bitter
Because not everybody be believin' in Jesus
But, mark my words, when we win it, they'll see us
We gonna break outta jail and catch us some tail
Win a Grammy award, 'cause we're too big to fail

Hit the road, Jack...
