Wake up in a magic nigger movie
|
With the bright lights pointed at me
|
As a metaphor
|
Teachin' folks the score
|
About patience, understanding, agape babe
|
And sweet sweet amour
|
|
When I realized where I was
|
Did I stend up and testify
|
Oh, fist up signify
|
Or did I show off my soft shoe
|
Maybe teach 'em a boogaloo
|
Busy playing the whore
|
|
Oh loiterers united
|
Indivisible by shame
|
Hungry for those diamonds
|
Served on little severed bloody brown hands
|
Oh the bling drips
|
Oh the bling drips down
|
Fallin' down just like rain
|
|
I don't wanna cast pearls to swine
|
I don't wanna march peacefully
|
No no no no no no no no no
|
New negro politician
|
Is stirring
|
Is stirring
|
Is stirring inside me
|
No there's nothing inside me
|
But an angry heart beat
|
Can you feel this heart beat?
|
|
Oh fear we're fallin' off
|
Oh terror we're pained
|
Oh hunger we're stavin' off
|
Roasted vermin sustain...
|
This shit will have to sustain
|
|
Shootin' doves from off balconies
|
They wanna shackle the lame
|
By now you know their game
|
|
Little nina arose
|
Went to stand by her payphone
|
Waited for her caller to ring, said
|
Ask me anything
|
|
I just asked for Her
|
I just asked for her say so
|
And with permission
|
I'm gonna take liberty
|
And I'm tellin' you to take it too
|
'Cause it's right there in front of you
|
|
Hey, desperate youth!
|
Oh, blood thirsty babes!
|
Oh your guns are pointed
|
Your guns are pointed the wrong way
|
Your guns are pointed the wrong way
|
|

The Wrong Way
