Out of step they seem to be with reality Needless to say I represent a nationality That's been linked to a Kodak Once truth is exposed, negatives can't be kept back Couldn't take us for what we has, took us for what we had KKK - 3 kicks up the ass All anti-negros ground is sinking sand Painting false and visionary pictures Revolting language bound to mentally hitcha Stand still while I'm talkin From abstract thoughts fingers completed the walkin These are Thoughts of a Negro (Wonder, wonder) (Blinkin I'm thinkin) Alone on the corner, awaiting a red light A van pulls up, the passengers are white My feet's in progress, are my ears deceivin me? I pause and down came the locks on the doors A typical stereotypical outlook How could a man's color betray him as a crook? I'm on Amtrak, enroute to Atlanta In first row, drinkin a grape Fanta Dressed to impress and I'm a walkin jewelry store I'm gettin lynchin looks from the conductor Sweatin my jewels but it's cool He's not the first or the last to Learn first class was made for a black ass Fuck the back, it's '91, jack Another thought I render to be evident Would I be treated equally if we had a black president? In this race everyday's suspense From death to seein infants born as chemical dependents Skillfully prepared for a ignorant war But all I encounter I express through metaphors Like 'nigga', 'black', 'negro' 3 five letter words to describe me, bro Even excepting we make good athletes And in bed knowin no other culture can compete So let's get right down to it Those who now accept it always knew it These are Thoughts of a Negro (Wonder, wonder) (Blinkin I'm thinkin) I try to make it hard for them to hate me Alienate me, you still gotta face me But I ain't the stereotype Understand what I'm sayin or do all niggas sound alike? Rap's the trade so it's made to live good My neighbor's kids are sayin, "There goes the neighborhood" And their dog comes in my yard and takes a shit Then barks like tellin me, "Clean it" But I made em all believers Hit their daughters with a dose of this jungle fever It was undercover but her parents discovered Turned her out, now forever she's a nigger lover I never feed into the stuff about the other man Cause my destiny is planned around a mic stand At the table of brotherhood I sit Calling preachers, wisemen and prophets To unravel the riddle of our existence Domestic relations and those of distance I'm hearin the same statements I feel are prejudiced One day blacks will rise on their side of the fence Stories still spread through history books in groups Tampering with truth, telling tales of twisted roots Stereotypes living lives of illusions Leapin to their death, jumping to confusions I see what I'm faced with, racist congregations Lord be merciful to a helpless nation These are Thoughts of a Negro (Wonder, wonder) (Blinkin I'm thinkin) Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Dear Old Fame, Dig A Hole, Do Me That Favour, Dont You Ever Leave Me (Hanoi Rocks Cover), Field Of Dreams, Have You Been Around, Hello / Goodbye, Hello/Goodbye, Hey Now!!, Honey Tongue, Just Another Score, Liberation, Mothers Love, No Regrets, Not Dancing, Wanna Know Why?, Pathetic Way of Life, Punk Rock Song, Riding With the King, Right Here, Right Now, Rock N Roll Star, Send Myself To Hell, Shame, Slide Song, Smoke Em, So Deep Inside, Someone Special, Soul of Sweetness, Staden Goeteborg, Staden Gteborg, Strapped, Summer Seasons Gone, Thats My Life, They Are Not Even a New Bang Tango, Wimpy Sister, You Know Where We All Belong, You Will Never Know, Jingle Bells, Tippy Toeing, Hang On To A Dream, Bad Taste, Cant Find My Way, Cant Find My Way, Change Of Heart, Do or Die, Dr. Love, Dr.Love, Everything, Face the Night, Hey Girl, Hold Me Down, Other Hard Knocks song Lyrics Dirty Cop Named Harry Lyrics Ghetto Love Lyrics Nigga For Hire Lyrics Other Artists Hardball Lyrics Hardcastle Paul Lyrics Hardcore Superstar Lyrics Hardcore Synth Orchestra Lyrics Harden Trio Lyrics Hardin Tim Lyrics Hardline Lyrics Hardy Francoise Lyrics Harem Scarem Lyrics Harhakuvitelma Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
