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

The UPstander's Podcast with Dr. Omekongo

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
