Darkie |
| Pickaninny fieldhand, just another darkie |
| Blue black, big lip, motherland monkey |
| Dark skin, nappy head, always being ugly |
| You just another darkie, you just another darkie |
| When you hear ‘em talking, just love ‘em and keep walking |
| Prayed for you, brothers, the masters done brainwashed 'em |
| Say it loud for ‘em, ignoring all of the mocking |
| You just another darkie, you just another darkie |
| I used to wish I was Puerto-Rican |
| ‘Cause that type of black was different |
| They had curly hair and accents |
| And I would be called exotic |
| I would lie and say I’m half-something |
| Mixed with this and that of sorts |
| Anything to not just be a fieldhand descendent |
| I knew black meant I was beautiful |
| X Clan done taught me that much |
| That ain’t stop the black folks, black jokes at lunch |
| I had Shaka Zulu, Nefertiti, Tutankhamun posters |
| Hanging on my walls to ease the pain of them boulders |
| Thrown ‘em, so ashamed I got the round nose of a king |
| I’m from the most mimicked culture but that ain’t do a thing for my self-image |
| Subjected to a standard I could never meet |
| Genetics don’t let blue eyes ever come with black feet |
| Culture say that black feet don’t belong on skateboards |
| They should stay on reservations; |
| Mama Winnie came for ‘em |
| Black people self-police «you sound white when you speak» |
| Why your hair so nappy? |
| You was just another darkie |
| Fat lip, wide nose (you just another darkie) |
| Looking like some burnt toast (you just another darkie) |
| Nappy headed, so gross (you just another darkie) |
| Master got ‘em so fooled (you just another darkie) |
| Some people still blind (you just another darkie) |
| Hating on they own kind (you just another darkie) |
| Put your fist in the sky |
| And don’t pay ‘em no mind (you just another darkie) |
| Man, why should I care at all |
| When you burn your own city whole? |
| And your daughter want a white doll |
| Man, y’all don’t even like y’all |
| I remember they told me I would look better if I was lighter |
| Get wedded on the island with the dress to match my silence |
| Tell your melanin be quiet, it’s too loud to match the culture |
| The vultures of the media, Wikipedia wrote the posters |
| Who you mailin' to? |
| Who you selling to? |
| Is your cerebellum bailing you out? |
| Or is you jailed by the mouth that told you failin' to not be yourself? |
| I know I believed it, I know I repeated what was me sleeping |
| Killing my dreams, maybe if I was thicker my skin wouldn’t make a scene |
| Such a protagonist activist for a massive king |
| They treat him like the villain yet they don’t want what master schemes |
| Living like immigrants yet they don’t want the master’s things |
| Who’s a slave? |
| Who’s the one to blame for the nappyness, the averages? |
| Love over hate is the fraction with the happiest |
| Mathematicians adding the blackness African applicants |
| The night embedded, I don’t regret it, the blackest skin |
| Fat lip, wide nose (you just another darkie) |
| Looking like some burnt toast (you just another darkie) |
| Nappy headed, so gross (you just another darkie) |
| Master got ‘em so fooled (you just another darkie) |
| Some people still blind (you just another darkie) |
| Hating on they own kind (you just another darkie) |
| Put your fist in the sky |
| And don’t pay ‘em no mind (you just another darkie) |
| Man, why should I care at all |
| When you burn your own city whole? |
| And your daughter want a white doll |
| Man, y’all don’t even like y’all |
