I built the stage, y’all just learned how to stand on it. by Elijah Muhammad

You built a stage and then got mad when I started speaking without the curtains.

You made the headlines possible, then acted shocked when the headlines had opinions.

I had the best footwork in the room and somehow you still called me the loud one.

Son, I taught you discipline, not runway.

That’s funny coming from a man who hated being corrected by somebody with a microphone.

Respectfully, I’m the only one in this thread who could sell out a room just by changing my outfit.

Both of you talk like I didn’t make the headlines possible.

I came for the belt, the suit, and the attention you acted like you invented.
