“While we're hurting, they're living large and hearty
On corporate dollars from their Democratic Party.”
Better Break Away from the Judas Quisling Class
by Raymond Nat Turner
Franchises and sub-contracts fill them with desire
Returns on investments set their souls on fire
Rousing heaven, harmonizing their theme song--
That Motown Classic by Berry and Barrett Strong
Showing no love for poor, working masses
Told corporate masters we can kiss their asses
Kwame, his mommy, O, Corey, and "Long Dong--"
Following Quislings like them is sick and all wrong!
Better break away from the traitorous black bourgeoisie
Holding on to them is like clutching long lit TNT
Better break away from the brazen black bourgeoisie
Those Negroz are hostile to you and to me!
Blinding fools and isolating Douglassian agitators
Sorcerers, silencing debate with talisman: "haters"
Shutting our movement off, turning our volume low
Struttin' their stuff, as Hennessey and Cristal flow...
While we're hurting, they're living large and hearty
On corporate dollars from their Democratic Party
People, we're in a desperate, desperate situation
Blindsided by deadly class differentiation...
Better break away from the traitorous black bourgeoisie
Holding on to them is like clutching long lit TNT
Better break away from the brazen black bourgeoisie
Those Negroz are hostile to you and to me!
Time to take off our old ultra-black tinted glasses--
And begin seeing things in both color and classes
Seeing the nitty-gritty, demystifying naked mystery
Begin jumping back on the *3M side of history!
Better break away from the traitorous black bourgeoisie
Holding on to them is like clutching long lit TNT
Better break away from the brazen black bourgeoisie
Those Negroz are hostile to you and to me!
