Текст песни MLK wouldn't go viral today - Raymond Xu Vlog

If he was born in 1998
MLK wouldn't hit today
He'd be out of place
He couldn't run a good IG page
Do he really got money connects anyway
Miss me with a speech in a church
Audio quality through my phone like what did he say
MLK wouldn't go viral, he's so yesterday
At most he'd have a little niche Tiktok play
Rip to yesterday

The best and the brightest minds
Dont get the most airtime
Viewer metrics optimized most important to get bigger online
Maybe mlk could have one of those non-fiction politics books
That be in the back of the store and doesn't get any looks
She said i dont read writing by men who cheat on their wives
And so she put the paperback back into its nook
He would be on the news but nobody read the news
Unless its to find out their favorite celeb's a crook
They'd say his speech was bad, out of a two second
Snippet out the middle that they took
But he improv'd the back half of i have a dream
So I'd give him this beat and let him cook

If he was born in 1998
MLK wouldn't hit today
He'd be out of place
He couldn't run a good IG page
Do he really got money connects anyway
Miss me with a speech in a church
Audio quality through my phone like what did he say
MLK wouldn't go viral, he's so yesterday
At most he'd have a little niche Tiktok play
Rip to yesterday

Age 5, MLK sang hymns and bars from the bible
But today he would've had no such idol
Dumb from a smartphone, candy crushing, his brain goes idle
1941, age 12, mlk tried to kill himself by jumping out the window
But in 2012 he'd would've eaten all the painkillers off the shelf
Let's say he survives that, even though I doubt
2015, he doesn't do debate competitions
He seen studying for standardized tests, his high school's mission
Now MLK making 37k as a minister of an alabama black church
But he has college debt, takes side jobs to make it work
This time when his house gets bombed he can't make rent
He's down to his last shirt
Could he really organize the boycotts if he was this hurt
MLK's is jailed
The presidential candidate doesn't make moves
Cuz he's worried about political dirt
Not only would MLK not be viral today
He couldn't be who he was back then, he'd be doing worse

If he was born in 1998
MLK wouldn't hit today
He'd be out of place
He couldn't run a good IG page
Do he really got money connects anyway
Miss me with a speech in a church
Audio quality through my phone like what did he say
MLK wouldn't go viral, he's so yesterday
At most he'd have a little niche Tiktok play
Rip to yesterday
