Dear Slim,
|
My favorite icon put the bong and the knife down
|
I'm sick of the songs about strapping your mom and your ex-wife down
|
To a nuclear bomb and dropping them on Saddam
|
Killing all the muses you use in almost all of your songs
|
Except those songs about Slim the Hip-Hoppian God
|
They make it seem you don't respect rappers like Biggie and Pac
|
Who if it weren't for them you be out of a job
|
Or flipping burgers with Ronald McDonald and not leading your mob
|
But the Blob's offensive, run and jumping the fences
|
And burying politicians in pop culture trenches
|
Dude, have some humility, oops responsibility, oops accountability, oops I said humility
|
Your face has covered worse magazines
|
than the artists and politicians you've mocked on every CD release
|
Ooh, how cool; you've proved you lack tact in your songs
|
In fact, you've grown up to act just like your mom
|
|
If y'all represent the truth and America's youth
|
Act like a leader we could actually use
|
You're a celebrity now, oh no, look what you did
|
You're America's role model but deny that you're it
|
|
Come on, come on, let's stand together as one
|
|
I ain't yelling about selling my soul, going to hell and back for platinum
|
Or gold to show the world is a gullible globe
|
Although, I can't respect the coalition of politicians signing petitions
|
Fearing Eminem's mission to bitch
|
When it's his right to taunt if he wants to fight
|
Even if you're frightened of what he might want to write
|
You're sworn to defend men, who offend men
|
Just because you believe in the first amendment
|
Even if it's illogical angst and vengeance
|
So defend your senses, but cleanse your dirty lenses
|
The law's written to both conservatives and leftists
|
It says Vanilla Ice Preservatives can be sexist
|
|
If y'all represent the truth and America's youth
|
Act like the leaders we could actually use
|
You're politicians now, oh no, look what you did
|
You're America's role models but deny art from our kids
|
|
Come on, come on, let's stand together as one
|
|
Censoring, the denial of actual words or factual things declared obscene
|
But molesting archdiocese, disease,
|
dead people in the streets from shooting sprees, epidemics
|
Paramedics clearing debris here and overseas aren't banned from TV
|
But yell shit, goddamn, or fuck hear three individual bleeps
|
A word's a word, let it be heard and learned
|
It's not the individual words but the order that hurts
|
Come on, come on, let's stand together as one
|
Come on, come on, stop threatening to censor our thoughts
|
And you'll get the response you want from now on
|
Come on, come on
|
