Jay-Z Raps About Trip To Cuba With Beyoncé, Saying Obama Said He Could Be Impeached For Getting Them Into The Communist Country: Listen To The Lyrics Here [AUDIO]

President Barack Obama reportedly pulled some strings in order for Jay-Z and Beyoncé to celebrate their fith-year anniversary in Cuba.

The famous rapper decided to make a rap about his trip, which he even quotes what Obama said to him.

In the song, titled "Open Letter," Jay-Z said, "Politicians never did s**t for me ... except lie to me, distort history."

He continued, "Obama said chill 'You gonna get me impeached' ... We don't need this s**t anyway chill with me on the beach.'"

The lyrics make it sound as if Obama really was able to get the pop-couple into Cuba, which is illegal unless it's for educational purposes only. The whole trip would have to be devoted to education.

A spokesperson for the Treasury Department told POLITICO that when a travel organizer submitting the cultural trip, no names were given.

"We don't request the identities of the travelers on the trip. We followed policies accordingly for this trip," the spokesman told POLITICO. "The approval process is based in part on the itinerary - not the specific travelers on each trip."

If it was approved, that would mean Jay-Z and Beyoncé's trip to Cuba was valid as far as the educational purposes are concerned.

Per policy, the Treasury Department would not provide the name of the travel organizers of the trip, but Reuters reported that New York-based nonprofit Academic Arrangements Abroad organized it.

Typically, most trips to Cuba are organized by universities and museums, which submit requests to the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control, according to POLITICO. OFAC enforces trade sanctions, such as America's travel embargo to Cuba, and also allows for some exceptions. Approval process can take anywhere from weeks to months.

For parents of one, the trip was approved shortly after being presented.

None of this stopped the two from enjoying their time in Cuba and Jay-Z from rapping about it.

"I'm in Cuba, I love Cubans.This Communist talk is so confusing."
