Aight, so peep this. They sayin' Raúl Castro, the OG himself, is 94 and officially retired. But real talk, folks in the know sayin' he still callin' the shots. Especially when it comes to the army. Ain't nothin' changed but the face card.

He been runnin' that show since way back when. Since before hip-hop was mainstream, know what I'm sayin'? So, you think he just gonna hand over the keys to the kingdom? Nah, fam. That ain't how it works.

They put this new cat, Díaz-Canel, in charge. But everybody know Raúl still got the juice. He still got the connect. He still got the soldiers listenin'. It's like when Jay Z supposedly retired, but still droppin' verses on everybody's tracks.

And the military? That's Raúl's baby. He raised it, he nurtured it, he the godfather. He ain't trustin' nobody else to run that. That's where the real power at in Cuba. And Raúl still got his hands on it.

So, what does this mean for the people? Same struggle, different day. They still hustlin' to make ends meet. Still tryna find a way to get ahead. Still dealin' with the same old BS. They ain't seein' no real change from the top down.

They need to cut the cap and be real with the people. Stop frontin' like things is different when they ain't. Stop playin' games. Give the people a chance to build somethin' real for themselves.

The youth gotta rise up and make their voices heard. They gotta demand change. They gotta build a future for themselves, instead of just acceptin' what the old heads givin' em. It ain't gonna be easy, but it's gotta be done.

This ain't just about Cuba, this about power and who holdin' it down. It’s about the struggle between the have and the have-nots. Always been, always will be. Stay woke.

Stay hungry. Stay grindin'. And remember, keep it 100. No cap.
