To trade and take what isn't yours.
These pirates come with guns, not swords.
This is what the Spanish done.
Rape ship slaves and sail their sons.
You must escape the kingly tyrant.
You own, but never own your violence.
This is what the British done.
Rape their slaves and sell their sons.
You teach a lie yet lie with Ham's,
Your verses show yourselves as shams.
This is what the Christian done.
Rape their slaves yet sell your sons.

Great---it's a new year.
My New Year's Resolution
Is to not have one.
And nothing beats a failure
Like a try. So, question's why?

You love basketball.
Your friend gets you Kings tickets.
It's for ice hockey.
You sit in the stands, happy.
You now know---your friend gets you.

You're on Jeopardy!
Great---you forget "who" and "what".
You're in jeopardy.

Good news: You're a prince.
You're first in line to the throne.
Great news: You're 90.

You're British, Irish,
Native American, Black...
Cops pull you over---
For driving the speed limit.
Congrats, you're blacker than night.

Moving is the move.
Couches, TVs, pianos---
Your back will thank you.
Your friends will thank you also.
Are you free for free labor?

Say a Hail Mary.
Take a knee and pay the price.
Get mocked by "Christians."

We interview blacks.
But bet we won't call you back.
We're diverse like that.
Apply; don't apply yourself.
We're fair---so don't even try.

Thanksgiving Dinner:
Time to take family's food
And act thankful too.
As they close their eyes for grace,
Sneak some more food on your plate.
