Jay-Z responds to fury over his and Beyoncé's anniversary trip to Cuba in new song .



Jay-Z blasted back today at critics of his and wife's Beyoncé's recent trip to Cuba in a new song.
The scathing song, 'Open Letter' calls out the politicians who questioned the legality of the fifth anniversary vacation, which was approved by the Treasury Department, when the rapper says, 'Politicians never did s**t for me, except lie to me, distort history. They wanna give me jail time and a fine. Fine, let me commit a real crime.'
The song also includes lyrics boasting of his friendship with President Obama, adding: 'Obama said, 'Chill you're going to get me impeached.' You don't need this s**t anyway, chill with me on the beach.

He also brags that he's a 'boy from the hood but got White House clearance.'
Obama's press secretary, Jay Carney, insisted that the White House had nothing to do with approving the trip.
'I guess nothing rhymes with Treasury,' he quipped.
'Because Treasury offers and gives licenses for travel, as you know, and the White House has nothing to do with it.'
When pressed by the reporter, Carney added:  'I am absolutely saying that the White House, from the president on down, had nothing to do with anybody's personal -- anybody's travel to Cuba.
'That is something that Treasury handles. It's a song. The president did not communicate with Jay-Z over this trip.'

Jay-Z continues to rap in the song that, 'I can turn Havana to Atlanta ... ballin’ too much they try to jam you.
'Y'all must wanna start a revolution. Whenever I'm threatened I start shooting,' he continues.
'I'm in Cuba I love Cubans. This communist talk is so confusing, when it's from China the very mic that I'm using.'
The track, which comes in under three minutes, was produced by Swizz Beatz and Timbaland.
Jay-Z also addresses his recent decision to sell his minority share of the Brooklyn Nets so that he can open up a sports management company.

OPEN LETTER' FULL LYRICS BELOW.



I done turned Havana to Atlanta
Guayabera shirts and bandanas
Every time you think they got me
 I switch the planna
Bulletproof this, radio scanners
Ballin' 'til they ban us
You gettin' too much bread, they try to jam you
Boy from the hood                                        
 But got White House clearance
Sorry y'all, I don't agree with y'all appearance
Politicians never did s**t for me
Except lie to me, distort history
Wanna give me jail time and a fine
Fine, let me commit a real crime
I might buy a kilo for Chief Keef
Out of spite, I just might flood these streets
Hear the freedom in my speech
Got an onion from Universal, read it and weep
Would've brought the Nets to Brooklyn for free
Except I made millions off it, you f***in' dweeb
I still own the building, I'm still keeping my seat
Y'all buy that bulls**t,                                  
You'd better keep y'all receipt
Obama said 'Chill, you gonna get me impeached'
But you don't need this s**t anyway
Chill with me on the beach

Ya'll almost want to start a revolution
You know whenever I'm threatened,                
 I start shooting, bark
Catch a body, head to Houston
I'm in Cuba, I love Cubans
This communist talk is so confusing
When it's from China, the very mic that I'm using
Idiot wind, the Bob Dylan of rap music
You're an idiot, baby, you should become a student
Oh, you gonna learn today
Where the f**k have you been
The world's under new management
The new role model, f**k this Zoolander s**t
