Songwriter: Add-2
[Intro: *Blazing Saddles* clip]
"Now come on, boys, where's your spirit?
I don't hear no singin'
When you was slaves, you sang like birds
Come on, how bout a good ol' nigga work song."
[Verse 1]
I say once upon a time not long ago
There lived some kings and some queens that had sold they souls
For a little bit of money, little bit of fame
The chains and the whips were the whips and the chains
It's no more different, world now you have the game
Say goodbye to the Cosbys, hello to House of Payne
Selling out our culture for some monetary gain
And you could switch the channel but the image doesn't change
Where every man's a pimp, let's call it Flavor of Love
And every girl's a ho and joins the Bad Girls Club
That's a box we outside yet
In four seasons I ain't seen a real housewife yet
I don't know whether to 'dress you as Big Momma or maybe as Big Mammy
You teach me how to dougie and I teach you how to sammie
Oscar for best actress awarded to Tyler Perry
And it's scary
[Hook 1]
But TBS just love y'all niggas
BET, yeah, they love y'all niggas
VH1, you know they love y'all niggas
Cause when y'all act like niggas
They making money off you, getting richer
Twitter love y'all niggas
Facebook, of course, they love y'all niggas
The KKK just love y'all niggas
Acting like fools being used
The modern day coons
[Verse 2]
Back when Martin used to march they was bitten by dogs
Now we call our women bitches and my niggas my dawgs
We the cause for more fights more than we fight for the cause
Wonder if Jesus walked with us when we rumpin' the law
This verse go to my (niggas) who love being (niggas)
Idolize killers, rappers, and drug dealers
Heard (I just wanna fuck every girl in the world)
And took it serious spreading AIDS and syphilis
Unprotected sex but say the baby ain't mine
Laid with a dime but child support ain't paying a dime
Never left my mama's couch but say I stay on the grind
Screaming "free my nigga [blank]" though he committed the crime
I smoke (I smoke) I drink (I drink)
Get high (get high) and don't think (don't think)
From planking to what they playing on every radio station
The new black faces, the people with black faces
[Hook 2]
You know they love y'all niggas
Media Takeout love y'all niggas
Worldstar just love y'all niggas
Cause when y'all act like niggas
They making money of you getting rich
Cheaters love y'all niggas
Maury Povich, yeah, he love y'all niggas
Because y'all love being niggas
Acting like fools, being used
The modern day coons
[Outro]
I love niggas!
I love niggas!
Though niggas are me!
And I should only love rejects be!
I love to see niggas going through changes!
I love to see niggas kill shit!
But there's just one thing about niggas
I knew I'd love
