Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Em' said he a God, Miley out here twerking
I walked in Def Jam, wasn't no black folks working
Soul is Robin Thicke, Adele's that too
Justin Timberlake is what Usher's supposed to do
[Verse 2]
But that's Elvis, Elvis, just like Elvis
We won't buy no music and everybody is selfish
Elvis, Elvis, just like Elvis
We won't buy no music and everybody is selfish
Elvis, Elvis, just like Elvis
Our freedom, now our music, I'm asking God to help us
Elvis, Elvis, just like Elvis
Our freedom, now our music, I'm asking God to help us
[Verse 3]
Lord, don't take my heart, Lord, don't take my soul
Lord, don't let them take Hip-Hop like they took Rock 'N' Roll
Please, Apple's just a store, we rotten to the core
Hey, what you rapping for, if you don't look like Macklemore?
They don't need you, they don't need me, don't see you on MTV
Michael Jackson turned back black
And then they killed him and dropped his CD
Something's missing, something's missing
And you can't tell me different
White folks on Black Entertainment Television
That's why
[Verse 4]
Em' said he a God, Miley out here twerking
I walked in Def Jam, wasn't no black folks working
Soul is Robin Thicke, Adele's that too
Justin Timberlake is what Usher's supposed to do
[Verse 5]
But that's Elvis, Elvis, just like Elvis
We won't buy no music and everybody is selfish
Elvis, Elvis, just like Elvis
We won't buy no music and everybody is selfish
Elvis, Elvis, just like Elvis
Our freedom, now our music, I'm asking God to help us
Elvis, Elvis, just like Elvis
Our freedom, now our music, I'm asking God to help us
[Verse 6]
Dear Lord, I hope we make it back
They stole our culture and I don't know how to take it back
They are slowly infiltrating, Lord, them planning they attack
They call you **** to your face, and then they dare you to say it back
Hey, white boy, let's make a track, white boy, let's make a track
Get them 808s and tats, bet you think that make it black
Hey, white girl, let's make a track, white girl, let's make a track
Get them ass shots, twerk it hard, I bet you think it's black
Yeah, these black gods, they grab guitars, and guess what
Now a player got John Mayer, they don't need that Cody Chesnutt
Or that Lenny Kravitz or Jimi Hendrix
Robin Thicke is Eddie Kendricks
That bad thing, you can't tell the difference
They push 'em harder, sell 'em different
[Verse 7]
Em' said he a God, Miley out here twerking
I walked in Def Jam, wasn't no black folks working
Soul is Robin Thicke, Adele's that too
Justin Timberlake is what Usher's supposed to do
[Verse 8]
But that's Elvis, Elvis, just like Elvis
We won't buy no music and everybody is selfish
Elvis, Elvis, just like Elvis
We won't buy no music and everybody is selfish
Elvis, Elvis, just like Elvis
Our freedom, now our music, I'm asking God to help us
Elvis, Elvis, just like Elvis
Our freedom, now our music, I'm asking God to help us
[Verse 9]
He wanna go pop, so he can get off of the block
He wanna go pop, so he can get off of the block
She wanna make it pop, so she can make that money drop
Make that money drop, but the pain won't stop
[Verse 10]
Alright, alright, alright, I see the bigger picture
Going pop, you get a little richer 'cause Little Richie can't be Nirvana
Be your Rihanna, can't be Madonna
Got Rod Stewart in the Hall of Fame
Whitney Houston don't have a thing
Michael Jordan don't own his name
Don't own his name, it don't mean a thing
[Verse 11]
Em' said he a God, Miley out here twerking
I walked in Def Jam, wasn't no black folks working
Soul is Robin Thicke, Adele's that too
Justin Timberlake is what Usher's supposed to do
[Verse 12]
But that's Elvis
Elvis
They run the game, they run the game
Elvis
You enslaved again, you enslaved again, you enslaved again
They don't need you, they don't need me, don't see you on MTV
Michael Jackson turned back black
And then they killed him and dropped his CD
Elvis
