"If not reparations give me free Black therapy And tell people you’re scared of them, it makes them act scarily" Vocals by Open Mike Eagle / Produced by Paul White Video Directed by Alex Clark / Video Edited by Ryan Calavano From the album "Hella Personal Film Festival" iTunes http://tinyurl.com/ha26hj6 Spotify http://tinyurl.com/z2zfr5m CD http://tinyurl.com/jh8awyk Vinyl http://tinyurl.com/zxfguza Lyrics: it’s all fine and dandy when the show starts before then avoided like a ghost fart I gets what ups and nods but for the most part, nobody smiles at me cause I’m a Black man Until the show starts before then avoided like a ghost fart I gets what ups and nods but for the most part, nobody smiles at me cause I’m a Black man I know full well every white’s not a racist but every Black man’s not a sex-crazed rapist I was good in the hood, in college I was ruined When walking I assumed you acknowledged the other humans I tried to walk big with my chin bone lifted up over compensating like I really don’t give a fuck Today I saw a lady say hi to a stranger then avoid my eyes like I’m a white person strangler Walking past voters in the democratic blocks that hit the windows and the automatic locks If not reparations give me free Black therapy And tell people you’re scared of them it makes them act scarily I don’t want you, your purse or your pocket book, them dumb yoga pants, boots or fur with the octopus trust I’m not trying to polish your toes, take your wallet and phone or follow you home It’s all fine and dandy when the show starts before then avoided like a ghost fart I gets what ups and nods but for the most part, nobody smiles at me cause I’m a Black man Until the show starts before then avoided like a ghost fart I gets what ups and nods but for the most part, nobody smiles at me cause I’m a Black man And to the guys in the flip flop squad nobody needs your patronizing hip hop nod just be a person, that’s the bottom line, be a person and fuck the rhyme scheme this time, just be a person then I can be a person too and we can be people skip the validation and the need to feel equal the dominating culture gets to choose from many modes of expression and reflection of the path that they done chose And my perception is froze, like a caveman lawyer advocating for myself while trying to seem dumber than I is I’m tired of thinking of this biz I’m just trying to build a bridge for my goddamn kid So the first time if ever his reputation slid it could actually be for something that he did It’s all fine and dandy when the show starts before then avoided like a ghost fart I gets what ups and nods but for the most part, nobody smiles at me cause I’m a Black man Until the show starts before then avoided like a ghost fart I gets what ups and nods but for the most part, nobody smiles at me cause I’m a Black man A hundred police want to sing one song, but only one gets the key When a hundred police want to sing one song, somebody’s got to intervene Now I’m not running for congress I’ve got no platform or a plan But when a hundred police wanna sing one song, all the people stop giving a damn
