i'm that brother from back in the day who would buck the system in every imaginable way;
house negroes was scaid uh me,
field negroes stayed the heck uhway from me,
massah george would **** his drawers
if he came up on me one on one-
even if he had his gun;
i was that runaway living in the swamps-
making treetops my camp.
i'm dah djukah nihgro,
dat witch doctor, leaf burning
cast a spell on your hound dogs
make them go in circles nighro.
i could give a fukk about the whys and wherefores
of this system and its quest ta head-you-crate me,
i'm dat hard nighro,
that large nighro,
living tax free in state penitentiary,
some call me crazy-
but i just gotta be free,
gotta be me,
gotta use my own 2 eyes to see,
i'm an innovator,
a fearless penetrator,
no revolution could start without me-
i'm dat X in Malcom's head
that would-a picked up guns
and never stopped fighting
'till all nighroes was free or we was all dead,
i'm that dread dread
that would get dat loaf
instead of some crumb of bread!
i'm the one they thought was dead,
but i live on in every sufferer's head-
from here to there to then to now
i'm that nighro that would never bow!
