If Dr. King marched today, would Bill Gates march?
I know Obama would but would Hilary take part?

Mostly confidence: Nine of the 25 lines, followed by struggle and loyalty on 7 each. 22 are lyrics and 3 are interview quotes, two from Complex Everyday Struggle (2019) and one from Complex (2010). Songs include My Life (five lines), The City (five), Letter to the King, Start From Scratch and Dreams. The page runs from the question of whether Bill Gates would march if Dr. King marched today, to being taken from the hood in a casket or a Bentley. Pride and cost are never far apart.
Take me away from the hood, in a casket or a Bentley
Like Roc-A-Fella needed Sigel, like I needed my father
But he needed a needle (My life)
Niggas know how it feel when you missin' your nigga though
Can't think, so you roll up that indigo
Stressin' while drivin' down Figuero'
Blowin' kush clouds until his ghost is in my Ghost, damn
But these two AK's ain't nothing to play about
I had a jumper and hoop dreams, but I couldn't wait it out
Rolled weed on my scholarship letters and took the paper route
Crips know where I stay, every other day, had to spray it out
Fuck y'all mad at me for, 'cause my belt got two G's on it?
Her bag got two C's on it? My daughter's stroller got D's on it?
If you paying too much attention to my tattoos every single day of your life, then you doing something wrong.
At the end of the day, all the niggas you was buying jewelry, all the niggas that was on the tour bus smacking asses with you, them niggas is not in that cell with you.
When Nipsey braided his hair, he was trying to be AI? When AI braided his, he trying to be Snoop? When Snoop braided his, he Harriet Tubman?
Dre, I ain't mean to turn my back on you
But I'm a man, and sometimes a man do what he gotta do
It's gon' take more than a bullet in the heart to hold me back
I stay strapped like car seats
Been bangin' since my lil' nigga Rob got killed for his Barkleys
And it took so many of my niggas that I should hate the hood
So eat this black music and tell me how it taste now
Walk through the gates of hell, see my Impala parked in front
There's a mother out there right now 'bout to have the next LeBron
Searchin' for a pot of gold like a leprechaun
I got too many dead homies, fuck a rap career
I'd give anything in the world to bring back my nigga Tear
Seem like we was just in Magic City yesterday
If I could bring back my homeboy Charles, he would say
Started off on ground zero, then I start to levitate
Damn, I said I spit like I'm the ghost of 'em
Name your top ten, I'm harder than the most of 'em
Matter fact, shorten your list, nigga, top five
Game, Biggie, Hov, probably Pac, Nas
I love you 'cause you hate me more
Sold five mil' out the gate and numbers do not lie
You mad 'cause your daughter fuck with me on spring break
Well, I'ma fuck her till the springs break
Go 'head, envy me, I'm rap's M.V.P
And I ain't going nowhere, so you can get to know me
I'm from the Compton slums, and that's how the West ride
I'm from the city where two of the best died
The West Coast never fell off—I was 'sleep in Compton
