Jay Z is defending his recent trip to Cuba in a new song.

The rapper released Open Letter Thursday after two Florida Republican lawmakers critical of the trip questioned if the rapper's visit to Havana with wife Beyonce which coincided with their fifth wedding anniversary was officially licensed.

On the song Jay Z talks about his distaste for politicians and repeats the refrain Y'all gon' learn today.

Jay Z raps Want to give me jail time and a fine Fine let me commit a real crime.

U.S. Treasury officials said Tuesday the couple's trip was licensed as an educational exchange after Cuban American U.S. Reps Ileana Ros Lehtinen and Mario Diaz Balart expressed concerns about the trip and wanted to know if it was licensed.

Jay Z and Beyonce are avid supporters of President Barack Obama. Jay Z raps in his song Obama said 'Chill you gon' get me impeached you don't need this (expletive) anyway chill with me on the beach.

U.S. citizens aren't allowed to travel to Cuba for mere tourism though they can obtain licenses for academic religious journalistic or cultural exchange trips. The so called people to people licenses were reinstated under the Obama administration. Beyonce and Jay Z marked their fifth wedding anniversary in Havana last week.

On the new song the 17 time Grammy winner also addresses the Brooklyn Nets which he owns less than 1 percent of. Jay Z is selling his stake in the team so he can become certified as a player agent a person with knowledge of the details said Wednesday.

Would have bought the Nets to Brooklyn for free except I made millions off of you (expletive) dweebs I still own the building I'm still keeping my seats he raps.

Jay Z also calls himself the Bob Dylan of rap music on Open Letter produced by Timbaland and Swizz Beatz.
