“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!”
