He tried to intellectualise my blackness

Bridge
            C5                 B5
He tried to summarise, to institutionalise
              Bb5              A5
Still I could recognise he was materialised

Chorus
            E7#9
He tried to intellectualise my blackness
           G5
To make it easier for his whiteness
            A5
He tried to intellectualise my blackness
            E7#9
Oh, save me, save me!

Verse
He's always tryin' to make up for his little slips
The joke about the nigga and the yellow nip
And then he tells me I'm so different from those other shits
When he tries to intellectualise my blackness

Bridge
He tried to summarise, to institutionalise
Still I could recognise, he was materialised

Chorus
He tried to intellectualise my blackness
To make it easier for his whiteness
He tried to intellectualise my blackness
Oh, save me, save me!

Chorus
He tried to intellectualise my blackness
To make it easier for his whiteness
He tried to intellectualise my blackness
E7#9                  E5
Oh, save me, save me, save!
