In her new spoken-word rapppity rap or something song, “No Political Genius,” which will once again only be taken seriously by close friends and family members, the singer addresses her Trump performance and specifically makes reference to Lee: “I am the black song Spike Lee won’t sing/I am the black voice inauguration bells ring.”

And she then goes on to describe herself as the “black elephant in the red room scared shook.”

Not only does Lee get a shoutout, but so do Ben Carson and Questlove:

Your hateful words won’t be my defining moment … They will be my ammunition to fight the systemWe will win themHope is aliveThis is my standingFor John Lewis and Ben CarsonQuestlove, Spike Lee and before themI won’t divide nowThat’s not smart nowGod before me, I won’t back downThis is my damn America now

If anything, kudos to Michele for aptly titling the song after herself. And she can definitely forget about working with Spike Lee in the future.
