    so tell me this your grandmother your grandbaby gets gunned down in Chicago and the people that made a song the people that killed her grandbaby makes a diss song about it five minutes long dissing the hell out of the grandbaby and Mayor Brandon Johnson knocks on her door I just want you guys I want to put this shit in reality he knocks on her door And coordinating the upward transfer of wealth into the hands of the ultra-rich at the expense of everyday people. Do you think an everyday person like the grandmother whose grandson got gunned the fuck down would listen to this message and resonate with it? She would say, baby, white people ain't killing my grandson. Niggas did. What the fuck are you talking about? Listen, if he went to a grandmother with that shit, she'd be liable to bust that nigga in the head with a pen. on some Tom and Jerry shit because no one has time for nonsense when reality slaps you in the fucking face. That's what he has failed to do because, well, that's what he has done. His failure, of course, is in defunding the very efforts that ultimately can keep people safe.
