151. New song! "Yeezus ain't Jesus and Kyrie ain't King!"

from The UPstander's Podcast with Dr. Omekongo · host Dr. Omekongo Dibinga

Wrote this song called “Yeezus ain’t Jesus and Kyrie ain’t King.” Would love your thoughts! I think people falsely make @kyrieirving & @kanyewest to be in the same boat on #antisemitism & #antiblackness. That’s not accurate and I break it down in this song as well. Nuance matters and just because they’re both Black men doesn’t mean they should be lumped together, especially if Jeff Bezos will get no attention for still keeping those products Kyrie tweeted on @amazon The lyrics are also below if you prefer to just read it. #kyrieirving #kyrieirving #kanyewest #kanye #ye Yeezus ain’t Jesus and Kyrie ain’t King Listen to me close and the words that I sing Now Kanye & Kyrie, it ain’t the same ordeal It’s the reaction to the two that we gotta keep real Here’s the deal, Kanye ain’t being crucified Heard someone I love say that, I damn near cried Real talk, just because he made jesus walks Don’t mean ye walks on water, this is all his fault Thought he could say what he wants cause he got some chedda But billions can’t buy class, brother shoulda known betta Goin death con 3 on jew communities? Cool to be antisemitic cause you got money? Then you dis George Floyd may he rest in peace said BLM’s a scam and on YOUR neck is a knee? Y’all say I’m on the bandwagon? I’m a make it clear I been criticizing Ye for at least 7 years I played Kanye all day, gave the bro top clout Though I got a PhD I rocked with “College Dropout” But then you rolled with Trump gave the MAGAs voice Dissed Harriet, said slavery was a choice Then you disrespect Kwanzaa, and if that didn’t hurt You go to Paris with Candace in White Lives Matter shirts So I ain’t with Ye no more, cause this point is true Kanye was anti-Black before anti-Jew Y’all wanna ride with Kanye you showin’ your colors But for me you practice hate I can’t mess with you brother Now Kyrie is different though his tweet wasn’t cool And he doubled down in anger tried to take folks to school But Kyrie loves Black folks shown a lot of support For Black people all day on and off the court Paid WNBA salaries gave to charities Bought the Floyd fam a home after their tragedy Supported Moms of Black Boys for social change And so many more things there’s a helluva range The mistake Kyrie made with our Jew family He denied them the respect he wants for Black folks see So for those who compare him to MLK Kyrie’s nobody’s martyr though he called for change I don’t think he hates Jews but he made a mistake Because his tweet played into this climate of hate He shoulda recognized that way before the suspension Before the Nike deal got trashed, before all this attention He and Kanye are different but before I go on The book he tweeted is a bestseller on Amazon Spent this song callin’ out Ye and Kyrie both But the one who’s profiting from this is jeff Bezos So let’s condemn all hate and call out everyone And end anti-Blackness and anti-Semitism Learn more about your ad choices.
