[02:10.95]I think niggas like him should die
[02:12.48]Him and Weinstein should get ****** up in a cell for the rest they life
[02:15.60]He hates Black women hypersexualizes 'em with kinks of a nympho fetish
[02:18.90]Grew facial hair because he understood bein' a beard just fit him better
[02:22.05]He got sex offenders on ho-VO that he keep on a monthly allowance
[02:25.38]A child should never be compromised and he keepin' his child around them
[02:28.53]And we gotta raise our daughters knowin' there's predators like him lurkin'
[02:31.68]**** a rap battle
[02:32.43]He should die so all of these women can live with a purpose
[02:34.89]I been in this industry twelve years I'ma tell y'all one lil' secret
[02:38.10]It's some weird **** goin' on
[02:39.33]And some of these artists be here to police it
[02:41.22]They be streamlinin' victims all inside of they home and callin' 'em tender
[02:44.49]Then leak videos of themselves to further push their agendas
[02:47.67]To any woman that be playin' his music know that you're playin' your sister
[02:50.97]Or better you're sellin' your niece to the weirdos not the good ones
[02:54.03]Katt Williams said "Get you the truth" so I'ma get mines
[02:56.58]The Embassy 'bout to get raided too it's only a matter of time
[02:59.70]Ayy LeBron keep the family away hey Curry keep the family away

[03:21.12]I'm sorry that your father not active inside your world
[03:24.30]He don't commit to much but his music yeah that's for sure
[03:27.36]He a narcissist misogynist livin' inside his songs
[03:30.27]Try destroy families rather than takin' care of his own
[03:33.48]Should be teachin' you time tables or watchin' Frozen with you
[03:37.02]Or at your eleventh birthday singin' poems with you
[03:40.23]Instead he be in Turks payin' for sex and poppin' Percs
[03:43.02]Examples that you don't deserve
[03:44.76]I wanna tell you that you're loved you're brave you're kind
[03:47.91]You got a gift to change the world and could change your father's mind
[03:51.27]'Cause our children is the future but he lives inside confusion
[03:54.51]Money's always been illusion but that's the life he's used to
[03:57.78]His father prolly didn't claim him neither
[04:00.21]History do repeats itself sometimes it don't need a reason
[04:03.39]But I would like to say it's not your fault that he's hidin' another child
[04:07.23]Give him grace this the reason I made Mr. Morale
[04:10.35]So our babies like you can cope later
[04:12.87]Give you some confidence to go through somethin' it's hope later
[04:16.14]I never wanna hear you chase a man 'cause his failed behavior
[04:19.79]Sittin' in the club with sugar daddies for validation
[04:22.68]You need to know that love is eternity and trumps all pain
[04:26.16]I'll tell you who your father is just play this song when it rains
[04:29.40]Yes he's a hitmaker songwriter superstar right
[04:32.67]And a ******* deadbeat that should never say "more life"
[04:35.91]Meet the Grahams
[04:43.59]Dear Aubrey
[04:44.55]I know you probably thinkin' I wanted to crash your party
[04:47.76]But truthfully I don't have a hatin' bone in my body
[04:50.73]This supposed to be a good exhibition within the game
[04:53.91]But you ****** up the moment you called out my family's name
[04:57.15]Why you had to stoop so low to discredit some decent people
[05:00.33]Guess integrity is lost when the metaphors doesn't reach you
[05:03.60]And I like to understand 'cause your house was never a home
[05:06.94]Thirty-seven but you showin' up as a seven-year-old
[05:10.05]You got gamblin' problems drinkin' problems pill-poppin' and spendin' problems
[05:13.59]Bad with money whorehouse
[05:15.22]Solicitin' women problems therapy's a lovely start
[05:18.18]But I suggest some ayahuasca strip the ego from the bottom
[05:22.05]I try to empathize with you 'cause I know that you ain't been through nothin'
[05:25.80]Crave entitlement but wanna be liked so bad that it's puzzlin'
[05:29.19]No dominance let's recap moments when you didn't fit in
[05:32.13]No secret handshakes with your friend
[05:33.81]No cultural cachet to binge just disrespectin' your mother
[05:37.56]Identity's on the fence don't know which family will love ya
[05:40.17]The skin that you livin' in is compromised in personas
[05:43.38]Can't channel your masculine even when standin' next to a woman
[05:46.80]You a body shamer you gon' hide them baby mamas ain't ya
[05:49.89]You embarrassed of 'em that's not right that ain't how mama raised us
[05:53.07]Take that mask off I wanna see what's under them achievements
[05:56.25]Why believe you
[05:57.24]You never gave us nothin' to believe in
[05:59.61]'Cause you lied about religious views you lied about your surgery
[06:02.97]You lied about your accent and your past tense all is perjury
[06:06.03]You lied about your ghostwriters you lied about your crew members
[06:09.18]They all p***y you lied on 'em I know they all got you in 'em
[06:12.51]You lied about your son you lied about your daughter huh
