  • It's the calm before the storm right here
    Wait, how was I gonna start this off?
    I forgot, oh yeah

    That's an awfully hot coffee pot
    Should I drop it on Donald Trump? Probably not
    But that's all I got 'til I come up with a solid plot
    Got a plan and now I gotta hatch it
    Like a damn Apache with a tomahawk
    I'ma walk inside a mosque on Ramadan
    And say a prayer that every time Melania talks
    She gets her mou—ahh, I'ma stop
    But we better give Obama props
    'Cause what we got in office now's a kamikaze
    That'll probably cause a nuclear holocaust
    And while the drama pops
    And he waits for shit to quiet down
    He'll just gas his plane up, and fly around 'til the bombing stops
    Intensities heightened, tensions are risin'
    Trump, when it comes to givin' a shit, you're stingy as I am
    Except when it comes to havin' the balls to go against me, you hide 'em
    'Cause you don't got the fuckin' nuts like an empty asylum
    Racism's the only thing he's fantastic for
    'Cause that's how he gets his fuckin' rocks off and he's orange
    Yeah, sick tan
    That's why he wants us to disband
    'Cause he can not withstand
    The fact we're not afraid of Trump
    Fuck walkin' on egg shells, I came to stomp
    That's why he keeps screamin', "Drain the swamp!"
    'Cause he's in quicksand
    It's like we take a step forwards, then backwards
    But this is his form of distraction
    Plus, he gets an enormous reaction
    When he attacks the NFL so we focus on that in–
    –stead of talkin' Puerto Rico or gun reform for Nevada
    All these horrible tragedies and he's bored and would rather
    'Cause a Twitter storm with the Packers
    Then says he wants to lower our taxes
    Then who's gonna pay for his extravagant trips
    Back and forth with his fam to his golf resorts and his mansions?
    Same shit that he tormented Hillary for and he slandered
    Then does it more
    From his endorsement of Bannon
    Support for the Klansmen
    Tiki torches in hand for the soldier that's black
    And comes home from Iraq
    And is still told to go back to Africa
    Fork and a dagger in this racist 94-year-old grandpa
    Who keeps ignorin' our past historical, deplorable factors
    Now if you're a black athlete you're a spoiled little brat for
    Tryna use your platform or your stature
    To try to give those a voice who don't have one
    He says, "You're spittin' in the face of vets who fought for us, you bastards!"
    Unless you're a POW who's tortured and battered
    'Cause to him you're zeros
    'Cause he don't like his war heroes captured
    That's not disrespectin' the military
    Fuck that, this is for Colin, ball up a fist!
    And keep that shit balled like Donald the bitch!
    "He's gonna get rid of all immigrants!"
    "He's gonna build that thing up taller than this!"
    Well, if he does build it, I hope it's rock solid with bricks
    'Cause like him in politics, I'm usin' all of his tricks
    'Cause I'm throwin' that piece of shit against the wall 'til it sticks
    And any fan of mine who's a supporter of his
    I'm drawing in the sand a line, you're either for or against
    And if you can't decide who you like more and you're split
    On who you should stand beside, I'll do it for you with this:
    Fuck you!
    The rest of America, stand up!
    We love our military, and we love our country
    But we fucking hate Trump! Writer/s: Marshall B. Mathers III
