supposedly great Satire song about Welfare? 

Chapter Jackson - It’s Free Swipe Yo EBT 

Keywanda is having the time of her life. Her job is raising her family of 10 children while dealing with the drama and stress of the children’s fathers. Thanks to the great state of California, Keywanda can support her lifestyle of having fun, getting “Turnt Up” and the kids can even get to eat from time to time.

Chapter plays roles in her music videos using “Satire” which is primarily a literary genre or form, although in practice it can also be found in the graphic and performing arts. In satire, vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, ideally with the intent of shaming individuals, and society itself, into improvement.Although satire is usually meant to be funny, its greater purpose is often constructive social criticism, using wit as a weapon.

Lyrics:

Chorus

It’s free! Swipe Yo EBT Free! Swipe Yo EBT It’s free! Swipe Yo EBT Free! Swipe Yo EBT It’s free You had me to get it all free You had me to get it all free You had me to get it all free You had me to get it all free

Does this work for you as a Satire? 

The Boondocks Season 1, Episode 13: “Wingman”

Firstly, me and a close friend got into an argument the other day or rather drunken screaming. We haven’t really spoken since and it’s one of those things where I’m tired of approaching her after a fight and having to reconvene (we’re also graduating seniors so I doesn’t make sense to get into an argument in the last weeks of classes over nothing), so I approached her anyway about trying to fix it. Cause I watched this episode-people don’t give the Boondocks enough cred. The first season touched on multiple issues in one episode and wasn’t all about political satire or severe social commentary.

This one was about friendship, how easily we can drop one over nothing, deep shit Aaron. Sometimes being the bigger man is the best way to go about things, step up when the other party isn’t willing to.

  “Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self. Therefore, trust the physician and drink his remedy in silence and tranquility.” - Khalil Gibran
