The Wrong Way

Lyrics

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 my soft shoe
 Maybe teach 'em a boogaloo
 Busy playin 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' 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 niña 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 to say so
 And with her 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
