Normally not my type of music but he's really taking it to the left

Lyrics:

[Verse 1] I think it's crazy I'm the one who they labeled as controversial And Cardi B is the role model for 12-year-old girls There's rappers pushin' Xanax at the top of the Billboard But if I mention race in a song, I'm scared I'll get killed for it It's backwards, it's gettin' exponentially dumb It's more difficult to get a job than purchase a gun Eminem used to gay bash and murder his mum And now he doesn't want fans if they voted for Trump We're ashamed to be American, you should probably love it 'Cause you have the right to say it and not gеt strung up in public As children, we werе taught how to walk and talk But the system wants adults to sit down and shut up Cancel culture runs the world now, the planet went crazy Label everything we say as homophobic or racist If you're white, then you're privileged, guilty by association All our childhood heroes got Me-Too'd or they're rapists

[Pre-Chorus 1] They never freed the slaves, they realized that they don't need the chains They gave us tiny screens, we think we free 'cause we can't see the cage They knew that race war would be the game they need to play For people to pick teams, they use the media to feed the flame

[Chorus] They so fake woke, facts don't care 'bout feelin's They know they won't tell me what to believe in They so fake woke, same old safe zones They so fake woke, facts don't care 'bout your feelin's

[Verse 2] I think it's crazy all these people screamin' facts, but they fake woke Hate their neighbor 'cause he wears a mask or he stays home Has a daughter, but his favorite artist said he slays hoes Picks her up from school, music slaps on the way home Censorship's an issue 'cause they choose what they erase There's a difference between hate speech and speech that you hate I think Black Lives Matter was the stupidest name When the system's screwin' everyone exactly the same I just wanna spend Thanksgivin' Day with food and my family Without bein' accused of celebrating native casualties We got so divided, it's black and white and political Republicans are bigots, libtards if you're liberal There's riots in our streets, and it's just gettin' worse Y'all screamin', "Defund the police", y'all are genius for sure They're underfunded already, they're way too busy to work Order food and call the cops, see what reaches you first

[Pre-Chorus 2] Segregation ended, that's a lie in itself That was a strategy to make us think they were tryin' to help They knew that racism was hot if they designed it to sell We buy up every single box and divide us ourselves

[Chorus] They so fake woke, facts don't care 'bout feelin's They know they won't tell me what to believe in They so fake woke, same old safe zones They so fake woke, facts don't care 'bout your feelin's

[Verse 3] We use violence to get peace and wonder why it isn't workin' That's like sleepin' with a football team to try and be a virgin Politicians are for sale and someone always makes the purchase But you and I cannot afford it, our democracy is worthless If a man has mental illness, call him crazy, say it silently When country's goin' crazy, we accept it as society Get sick and take a pill, when the side effects get you high You get addicted like these rappers dying fighting with sobriety Censoring the facts turns our children into idiots They claim it's for our safety, I'll tell you what it really is Removing information that empowers all the citizens The truth doesn't damage points of view that are legitimate They're tryna change amen to a-men and women How'd we let 'em make praying a microaggression? Instead of asking God for the strength to keep winnin' We cheat to get ahead, and then we ask Him for forgiveness

[Pre-Chorus 3] Feminism used to be the most righteous of fights But these days it feels like they secretly hate guys I don't trust anyone who bleeds for a week and don't die I'm just kiddin', but everything else that I said is right

[Chorus] They so fake woke, facts don't care 'bout feelin's They know they won't tell me what to believe in They so fake woke, same old safe zones They so fake woke, facts don't care 'bout your feelin's

So what are the odds it will get taken down before the day is out? Does ‘rumble’ have it?

If it reaches the yutes, bravo.

But I can’t tolerate that tripe. He might as well be knuckle dragging...

However, if he were able to simultaneously frame his thoughts in written prose, absent the urban, subculture rhythm, I’d be immensely impressed.

I appreciate what the guy is trying to do. Rap has never been my go to genre of music. God knows I’ve tried to be open-minded to it, but it’s just...not...me.

But thank good ness this guy is getting the message out to those who will listen. I’ll take allies anywhere I can get them.

Tom McDonald has been putting out good messages since at least the beginning of the pandemic.

Check out his other stuff.

Okay, I dislike urban/rap. With a passion. But, to be fair, I gave this a listen because I was curious after reading the lyrics.

Oh. Wow.

Now, understand...I’m not down with the tats, the piercings, and all that. But this young man dropped the bomb dead on target. That was brilliant.

(I hope the guy isn’t now a target for the Xiden regime...)

I listened to the song yesterday, being a country music fan thought it would be cringe but was pleasantly surprised that the music and singer were very good, the lyrics are perfect. Hope he keeps it up there on #1.

Not my style but great to see something like this. He has a large following and is not shy about many things but in particular doesn’t run away from the race issue and hypocrisy.

And last I looked he had well over 3 million views on this particular video

Ditto. Not somebody any child should want to emulate. What causes a person to turn their body into a graffiti wall? This guy better have some really sweet entrepreneurial skills cuz he is never getting a real job. Theres always the circus....

My favorite rap song:

Wally Rap--Wally George (1985)

Wally! Wally! Wally! Wally!
Wally! Wally! Wally! Wally!

The United States is the greatest nation on this earth. Yet there are subversive forces that are trying to undermine the principles that this land was founded upon. That's right. And you know who you are. The feminists, the freeloaders, the bleeding-heart judges who let cold-blooded murderers go scot-free yet tie the hands of our police on the chance that they might violate someone's "civil rights." I say it's time to stop worrying about the rights of criminals and start protecting the rights of loyal god-fearing Americans like you and me.

Wally! Wally! Wally! Wally!

Today's heavy metal groups are drug-crazed, devil-worshipping maniacs out to poison the minds and bodies of innocent teenagers who are pressured into this evil, satanic lifestyle. Those vermin who believe in legalizing marijuana are really saying, "let's legalize all drugs--and while we're at it, prostitution, bestiality and S & M." Well, it's about time we got high on something else besides drugs. Why can't we get high on patriotism, God and the Bible?

Wally! Wally! Wally! Wally!

The lunatic liberals are the sickest and most hypocritical group of mental midgets I have ever met. They're against the death penalty, even for mass murderes, yet support the out-and-out killing of innocent unborn babies. They call it "aborting a fetus," but these are just buzz words and they know it. Why can't they say what it really is: murdering an unborn child? Let me tell you something: what's worse, is that poor little baby can't even defend itself.

Wally! Wally! Wally! Wally!

The US Senate says that there's no place for God in our classrooms, yet that same Senate opens each session with a prayer. How hypocritical can you get? Why should God be expelled from our public schools? Do our politicians need to be reminded that this is one nation under God? The feminists are fighting for the ERA. They don't really want the ERA. They want the SRA--the Superior Rights Amendment. They want to be superior to men. We must not let them emasculate the men of America!

Wally! Wally! Wally! Wally!
Wally! Wally! Wally! Wally!

Who's got the guts to stand up for America? Ronald Reagan is the greatest president this country has ever had. It's about time we all started believing in America again. Under President Reagan's leadership, we have started. If you don't love this country, then get out of here and make your move to Moscow, pal!

I can’t tolerate that tripe.

Look. I'm an opera guy. Mozart, Verdi, &c., you know. NBC used to have a Symphony Orchestra.

But other people have taken over. This is their language.
