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

Still I could recognise, he was materialised

To make it easier for his whiteness

Oh, save me, save me!
