Lupe’s powerful and relevant lyrics, steadfast political message, and outspoken mentality is likely reaching more disenchanted youth than any politician, Democrat or Republican. But this work and outreach is in fact the responsibility of those elected officials.
And he takes his message from Chi to LA and everywhere in between.
Doin' work that the politician should has two meanings. 1) As noted above, Lupe is doing “good” by reaching the youth but also 2) the juxtaposition between “politician should” and good is Lupe taking a shot at politicians because they should be doing good but they are not. The pause in the delivery of this line really emphasizes the juxtaposition.
