The Scenario! (remix)

Verse 1:
Sun is shining, it’s a new day,
I welcome Monday, I love Monday
Feeling so fresh I could flex today
I’m spry today, I’ll wear a tie today

Positive energy brings positive things
And so I smile today, I’m worth while today
The world is my oyster and I shuck it like I mean it
Feel like Godzilla when I’m walking down the street and

I came a long way since a little tadpole
I had to tread the water slow before I learned the backstroke
I have to kill the open mic before the halftime show
And have to give it all I got until the gas-light glow

Besides that, I’m thinking besides rap, I’m thinking about the nation and our tribulations and our trials that, 
Deem a killer innocent ‘cause of his uniform
And I’m privileged too because we share a skin tone

But I let my mind bypass that, where are the hi-hats at?
I defy that, with the soothing sounds
Some days we have to focus on the revolution
But some days we gotta kick back and listen to some music..

(chorus):
Everybody wanna hear a song like that..
It ain't bout the struggle it's about the bounce back
(repeat)

Verse 2:
It’s okay to feel your feelings and express yourself
I welcome Monday, you can refresh yourself
But by the end of the week with all the setbacks and
Surprises, that’s when I need to vent myself

Troubles in the world of all sorts it’s frightening
Good luck with, staying positive when hate is rising
It’s hard to keep up with and itemize the losses
And we’re stuck with, this abomination in office

The president’s an advocate for white supremacy
A reality star with no sense of reality
He’s the most knowledgeable, most caring, the most prepared 
but is there anybody watching that isn’t scared??

And these young hip-hop artists that couldn’t care less about the genre,
Self claim the most prominent, and all their jargon is about who’s dicks the biggest, and who gags the most bitches, with it
And who spends the most quickest..

Why would anybody wanna hear a song like that?
It ain’t about what you say, it’s about the way you act
Try loving yourself, and try nurturing yourself..
And then show some love to the person to your right and left..

(Chorus)

Verse 3:
Pac, you once said it would be heaven sent
to see a black president and we did for two terms
He was replacement Trump, yes Donald Trump! and in a couple of 
Months we watched as his progress was reversed..

And now racism has a welcome place in the system
Orange face in the system, still a large amount of black bodies 
Filling in the prisons, thats if they’re lucky enough 
To make it in the back of the cop car in cuffs

Remember that guy Rodney King? Well that’s an everyday thing 
And it’s televised on our facebook live 
Facebook’s a site online; a “social network”
That supposedly keeps us together, 

But in reality it’s a mechanism giving people a false sense of net-worth
“God forbid”, you go off the grid of you’re not a member
And there’s this quarterback named Colin Kaeper-nack
And a couple of years ago he stopped saluting the flag

He’d take a knee during the national anthem..
A peaceful protest for social injustice he couldn’t stand for
When cops treat blacks like 3/5th’s or less
And it’s recorded the on cameras in their bulletproof vests

And our president - endorsed by the KKK - defends them 
As well as Nazi’s, Pac, do you copy?
He claims “make America great again” is the motto?
But Trump sucks on fat dicks and doesn’t swallow!

I welcome Monday, a fresh start a new beginning,
But by the end of the week with all the fighting and bickering, I’m sick of it! 
Your mama told you never stop until you
Bust a nut, 
well I’ve only just begun, welcome Monday

Welcome Monday (single)

Welcome Monday

White is a gateway drug, be careful when you approach it..

White Supremacy is..
