Jay-Z's "Open Letter"

Fresh from Cuba, here's the audio and lyrics:

I'm not a rap fan and don't understand the genre. So maybe I can't fully understand this line:

The world's under new management.

Hardly. O = W and Nixon and all the thugs who preceeded him; so where's this "new management"?

A more appropriate line would be from The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again":

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
