Musical Chairs Lyrics

[Verse: Billy Woods]
Bizzaro world Obama, murky origins, father terror sponsor
Birth certificates in triplicate, no white mama
Contras in Managua, mano de dios, Maradonna
Passport stamp Wakanda, tour the local flora and fauna
Gorilla hands sustainably severed, gorilla plans stretch, weighed, measured
We don’t gotta win just hold serve Federer
Style insular Al-Qaeda, Arabian Peninsula, stack paper
African minister, Mr. Sinister, asylum applicant Arkham resident
I’m not only the president, prime minister
P nice came dash in dashiki
Mugabe music, beats insane they can’t beat me
Left the room service uneaten, uneasy
On balmy Johannesburg evenings
Shell games, I’m playing with hell’s flames
Conspire with dunces, run with lames, the game is the game
Special Olympics, had you ready to get a real job like “fuck this”
Round n round, Babylon circle for niggas that’s soon to be found
Out of town, plates out of state, use a mark
Sprung Joanne Chesimard on my lunch break
Came back to my cubicle late
Duffle bag and a friction tape thirty-eight
Alternate ending to the B.E.T. office space remake
Today we’re all working late, stayed low and kept firing
So they can blame rap or affirmative action hiring
Fuck severance, this is forceable retirement, you hiding
Hearing the sirens flying in, hoping to save your own hide
Escape by the teeth’s skin, I’ll clap a hand over your eyes
And whisper “guess who”, like an old friend
[Outro: [?]]
