[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
St
