“Negroz ain’t known for checkin’ facts
Like Clinton’s sax, and other acts”
Long Dong Silver Laid the Foundation for Drone Man
by Raymond Nat Turner
Long Dong Silver and Miss Anita Hill—
Before Ms. Monica and Massa Bill…
Jerry Springer show, plus Dr. Phil
Playin’ the “race card” with sick skill!
Long Dong laid the basis for Drone Man,
No “hi-tech lynching,” no “Yes, we can!”
The capitalists came, no-holds-barred
With weak politics smellin’ stockyard
Playing Negroz with their “race card”
Imbedded with sons of Beauregard:
Strom, Jesse, Mc Connell, McCain—
Til’ Clinton came feeling their pain!
Long Dong laid the basis for Drone Man,
No “hi-tech lynching,” no “Yes, we can!”
The rulers came, pulling out all the stops
Flooding Black barber and beauty shops
With their tattered, shop-worn thin game—
Their battle-tested tricks of skin game…
Long Dong laid the basis for Drone Man,
No “hi-tech lynching,” no “Yes, we can!”
Negroz ain’t known for checkin’ facts
Like Clinton’s sax, and other acts,
Negroz keep actin’ politically insane—
Perfect patsies for Drone Man’s reign…
Long Dong laid the basis for Drone Man,
No “hi-tech lynching,” no “Yes, we can!”
