Your enrollment's down.
Yet your tuition is up.
So, your students left.
You're not gonna change---you're right.
Good job---now it's all over.

Being black's so bright,
Like a raven in the night.
Being black's the right
To defy; still read and write.
Being black's mixed white,
As the owners made us light.
Being black's false fright,
That gave our neighbors flight.
Being black's not might,
It's love that conquers spite.

You pay for streaming.
Yet your best show's on cable.
You paid for streaming.
Streaming's cancelled; cable's paid.
Your best show moved to streaming.

You try to tank well.
You're a successful failure.
You've got the first pick.
Fortunately, he's a bust.
Your suck session's out of luck.

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.
