The Wrong Way

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 stand 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 starvin' 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 pay phone

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
