Macklemore is an exceptionally gifted lyricist as well as an advocate for social issues.  His song, Same Love, released in 2012, became the ballad for LGBTQ rights, and marriage equality.  His songs are poignant and thoughtful.  Each politically charged rhyme screams a rational argument that seems to elude some.  His new remix of YG’s song FDT says many of the things that too many people are too afraid to say.  So, for those of you who are not Hip Hop fans, but need a voice to rally behind during this mind boggling election season, the following are quotes from the new song FDT Part 2 by YG featuring Macklemore and G-Eazy.  Do yourself a favor, and YouTube this song!  This song does contain explicit lyrics.  

“Aint nobody else gon’ speak up, we gon’ speak up. . .

. . .A Trump rally sounds like Hitler in Berlin

Or KKK shit, now I’m goin’ in

. . .This man is not peaceful, racism’s evil

This man hates Muslims, that’s a billion f#&kin’ people. . .

. . .Bannin’ all Muslims?  Aiight, bool (this guy)

What if we ban all the white dudes?

Because a couple have run up in trench coats and rifles

And killed in the name of Jesus Christ at the high school. . .

. . .I’m just trying to make America great again. . .

. . .I got an eagle on my arm, I’m a patriot

I’ma stay right here, I ain’t livin’ in fear

With my people who are Muslims, Mexican, and queer

And we ain’t gonna let you f#&k up four years. . .

. . .Donald Trump, call him out KKK supporter

His favorite phrase, “Deport ‘em,” how the f#&k y’all endorse him?”
