[Intro]

I have a dream today

That one day this nation will rise up

And little black children

And little white children

Will hold hands



[Verse 1]

I'm a black man living in this white man's world

I gotta watch my back he might rape my girl

Cuz he did one time, he'll do that shit again

I'm the black american with the paperback skin

Now all he ever gave me was a knot and a rope

Cracker get your hands off my throat

And unlock these chains and let me go

And don't hit me with that whip no more

All told me that America was 5050

I've been bamboozled, hoodwaggled, tricked me

Why all the time my people gotta suffer

It's the white man, you a dirty little hustler

And you rather see a nigga dead and rotten

Or somewhere on a cotton field picking cotton

But a brother like me I can't touch that shit

So you better give me my money nigga

Now you wanna kill me with your AIDS and your crack

I'll help the Indians take the motherfucker back

And run over them white boys

Give the money and the guns and the power to the black boys

And build a whole new nation

And burn all the politicians as a demonstration

Check the voice, black people don't you ride no





White horse, don't ride no white horse

Don't you ride no horse (x2)



[Verse 2]

I'll never marry a white girl, I'll stay single

Cuz those hoes just want Mandingo

Back in the day a nigga would've got hung

Black ass nigga you know you wrong

I ain't saying nothing, white man gonna get ya

Look like O.J. shoulda stayed with that sista but

Can't tell a nigga nothing

Cuz the black man always trying to be something else besides hisself

nigga this a matter of life and death
