The 'Hood Winked

I gotta kick it in Ibibio
Cuz y'all just ain't gettin the flow
So here's the international verse
Niggas ain't naturally birthed here
We was all shackled and spurned here
Now we have to return scared of AIDS
For years we were compared to apes
Now mad dollars spent to inject collagen
So they can mock our lips
It's all politics
No one's gotta give a shit about our culture
But our style's ripped
Burned to their MP3 players
And MTV plays us
So now witness the turning tide
Concerned with lenghts of our women's hair
So we bought it packaged
Often that is criticized
Fingers pointed at us
Like we're living lies
I think that Ofay's got it backwards...

What's in common between a prostitute
And people with a lot of loot?
They both like cream on their faces
I guess the lesbians like a bush to jizz on their faces
The same way Bush jizzed on you racists
Now your faces are moisturized
Searching for the fountain of youth
Found it to be fortified
With proteins of the Bush agenda all inside
I hate to be profane
But money makes people kill for propane
So witness the prez get press
Tell them no child is left behind
and send them overseas
The new holocaust
Cuz all our young and poor are diseased
Its amazing how Ofay is all concerned with his make-up
They trust
A man whose health plan brings co-pay up
Way up
The noise the country makes
Cuz she stays fucked
Now Ofay wants the oil not for his toils or his incessant greed
He sends our friends to die for Vaseline
He has a dream
That one day his daughters will have some cream and oil to spare
And at our expense
It don't seem fair
But he don't care

What's Ofay's preoccupation with facial features
It went from Blackface to Oil of Olay
He solicits our graves
And with indignance we pay
Dividends just to see our kids get thin in the brain
Obese on the frame
So please know the name
Whether French for "a pompous fuck"
Or Yoruba for "Watch that English trader cuz he's on to us"
The word and saying's the same
And I ain't trying to incite a race riot
Or trying to tighten the chains on our society
I'm just trying to be
Trying to breathe
Trying to bring my people closer to free
But if Ofay knows I exposed him
They'll be roping a tree...
