[ Featuring Tim'm West ]
Oh, D.E.I
Let me speak my p-i-e
C-e on the M-I-C
Fake D.E.I.T.Y
In the U.S.A
Gotta show them
We don't play
Oh, D.E.I
Wanna see me C-R-Y
But that B.S. ain't gon' fly
So G.O.P
Wanna take away the air I breathe
So I can D-I-E

They want us to d.i.e
Equity
Elon. Elongation. oligarchy
Cosmetic inclusion
Just illusions of democracy
False claims of meritocracy
Ain't fooling nobody
We see through ya mediocrity
Corporations rescind diversity targets
Walmart: Juneteenth ice cream optics
Never ever sweeter than the evidence
C Suite path to leadership nebulous
But we all know America should represent
All colors and all tents
Then we can get to the excellence
You either down for justice or on the fence
And we gettin tired of yo shit
Ya 40 acres and a mule ain't nothing but counterfeit
Real talk it amounts to this
Oh, D.E.I
Let me speak my p-i-e

Glad I got a fair s.h.o.t
So I could get those good degrees
Worked as hard as anyone of any race
For the As and Bs
Late nights never absentee
And still
When i walk in the room
I'm assumed to be
AA
Though not American Airlines
Fly and gay
But African American
That's my race
Black Affirmative Action came too late
White only was the first AA
And now we dealing with the KKK
They never ever wanna lose
Profit made on the backs of slaves
A head start on a loan to pay
Redlined out of money out of time
For a home for the kids to stay
Generational wealth delayed
A gaslight using MLK
To say we equal and we okay
Like equality happened the very day (that)
That O.B.A.M.A
Was chosen by the people
And elected, white rage
Fragile egos affected
Ain't ready to die
Battle scarred and tested
Gonna stay on your watch like
Netflix
Stackin up on Baldwin like Tetris
Are y'all still watchin this foolery
I stay woke
Hu-loses
Is you and me
Oh, D.E.I
Let me speak my p-i-e
