(Produced by Kid Cudi)

(Verse)

The artist, however faithful to his

Personal vision of reality

Becomes the last champion of the individual mind and sensibility

Against an intrusive society and an officious state

He has, as Frost said, a luva's quarrel with the world

In pursuin' his perceptions of reality

He must often sail against the currents of his time

This is not a popular role

Yet in retrospect, we see how the artist's fidelity

Has strengthened the fibre of our national life

If sometimes our great artists have been the most critical of our society

It is because their sensitivity

And their concern fo' justice, which must motivate any true artist

Makes him aware that our Nation falls short of its highest potential

I see little of mo' importance to the future of our country

And our civilization than full recognition of the place of the artist

If art is to nourish the roots of our culture

Society must set the artist free to follow his vision whereva it takes him

We must never fo'get that art is not a form of propaganda, it is a form of truth

Fo' poets, there is nothin' worse fo' our trade than to be in style

In free society art is not a weapon and it does

Not belong to the spheres of polemic and ideology

The highest duty of the writer, the composer, the artist is to remain true to himself

And to let the chips fall where they may

(Outro)

Hey let's have some fun this time
