Give me that Kool Aid, fried chicken
Potato salad—no raisins, slavery’s past (passed)
Give me that welfare, poverty strickin’
Quit actin’—it’s all cast (caste)
Give me that jazz, blues, gun totin’
Can’t read, can’t spell, can’t write
Give me that drug dealin’, cop hatin’, weed smokin’
Quit lyin’—it’s alright (all right)
It’s Reaganomics or Ebonics
It’s “That’s Life” or The Chronic
It’s that life that ain’t honest
It’s hooked on drugs or Hooked on Phonics
It’s endurance and more patience
It’s your crime and your creations
It’s passed down fabrications
It’s one blood, many nations
