I'd like to make a toast

To hip-hop music

The first art form created by free Black men

Yeah, we got jazz, rock and roll, the blues

All created by Black men that were either slaves or in slave-like conditions

But hip-hop is the first art form created by free Black men

And nobody exerts that freedom like Fat motherfuckin' Joe

Us, us, us, us, us, us, us, us

Us, us, us, us, us, us, us, us

Us, us, us, us, us, us, us, us

Us, us, us, us, us, us, us, us

Us, us, us, us, us, us, us, us

Us, us, us, us, us, us, us, us

Us, us, us, us, us, us, us, us

Us, us, us, us, us, us, us

It's just us, ****

Us, ****

Fuck the feds, fuck the cops and the judge, ****

Who can you trust, ****?

Just us, ****

Just us, ****

Angel Reese, JuJu Watkins, that's us, ****

That's us, ****

Us, us, yeah, that's us

Boy George, Guy Fisher, yeah, that's us too

Yeah, that's us too

If I got it, then we got it, that's us too

We got trust issues

Trust issues

It's the ones with you

You broke my heart, now we don't fuck with you

Us, us, us, us, us, us, us, us

Us, us, us, us, us, us, us, us

Us, us, us, us, us, us, us, us

Us, us, us, us, us, us, us, us

Put both middle fingers up, up if you don't give a fuck, fuck, it's never them

Forever Crack, forever Rem, only us, us

They think 'cause you know 'em, you owe 'em these **** sus, sus

Talkin' big shit, when we come, it's hush-hush

We gettin' money, that's a must, must

Ass so soft, it's plush, plush

You dead to me, ashes to ashes, you bitches dust, dust

If I'm comin', the gat comin' and Crack comin', ****, that's my plus, plus

Some of you are tired, some of you are weary, some of you are weak

Some of you are scared

You wake up in the morning, you say, "Lord, why has the world changed on me?

The world done changed on me"

Some of your close ones actin' different

Even your kids is switchin' up on you

But trust in the Lord, He's got your back

Right now, I want you to look at your neighbor, grab his or her hands

And you look 'em in the eye, you say, "Movin' forward, it's us"

Us

You and me

Trust in the Lord
