Negrotown Lyrics by Key & Peele

Season 5

2015

[Intro: Key, Cop, & Wally]
Spare some change?
Sorry, man, I ain't got nothing
Alright
Hold it right there!
Let's see some ID
I wasn't even doing anything, man
Are you talking back to me?
No, I was just walking, man!
Look there is no reason for you to get upset, sir
I'm not, I'm not!
Alright, that's it!
Put your hands on your head
Put my hands o-
Put your hands on your head, yes!
You had your chance
Listen, man, can I just ask you, like, politely, what it is that I did
Think I was born yesterday?
Come on, man, I wo- ahh!
Get in the car!
Duck your head
AHH! Ah!
All right, officer, I'll take it from here
Oh, hi, Wally!
Good to see ya!
He's all yours!
All right
What?
Y'all have a good night
All right!
Thanks, man, but where we going?
I'm glad you asked!
Follow me!
Through there?
Whoa, look at this place!
Where are we?
Just be patient and I'll show you
What? Your suit changed!
[Verse 1: Wally]
Follow me to a place I know
Where there ain't no pain, ain't no sorrow
It's a place to be if your skin is brown
I'm talking 'bout Negrotown
[Interlude 1: Key & Wally]
Negrotown?
What, like, Atlanta?
Haha, almost
Now be quiet while I sing
[Verse 2: Wally & Taxi driver]
In Negrotown, you can walk the street without getting stopped, harassed, or beat
And there's always a cab when you need to get around
And they always stop in Negrotown
[Interlude 2: Key & Wally]
I think I'm getting it!
It's like a utopia for black people
Yeah! But, seriously, shut the fuck up
[Verse 3: Wally, Hoodie wearers, & Banker]
You won't followed when you try to shop
You can wear your hoodie and not get shot
No white folks to cross the street in fear
Or trigger happy cops, or scared cashiers
That loan application can't get turned down
You're always approved in Negrotown
[Interlude 3: Key & Wally]
This is amazing!
I know, right?
[Verse 4: Women]
We're going down to Negrotown
Where the strong black men are raining down
There's light skin, dark skin, every shade
And there's no white bitches to take them away
[Interlude 4: Key & Wally]
This sounds too good to be true
It does, doesn't it?
Yeah
But can a nigga finish a song?
Oh!
I mean, can, a nigga, finish?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
[Verse 5: Wally, Hoodie wearers, Hoodie wearers & Key, Everyone]
In Negrotown, you live long and well
There's no disease, no sickle-cell
No stupid-ass white folks touching yo hair
Or stealing your culture, claiming it's theirs
Hanging out in a group doesn't make you a gang
Every word that you say ain't considered slang
No one trying to get in on the latest trend by making you their token black friend
There's a place where harmony is found
It's a motherfucking black playground
Talking 'bout Negrotown
Talking 'bout Negro, Talking 'bout Negro, Negro, Negro, Negro
Talkin' bout Negrotown
[Outro: Cop & Key]
Sir? Sir? Sir? Sir?
Wha-
All right, get up
Let's go, get up
Wait a second!
Wait, wait, woah, woah, woah, hold on, wait
I thought I was going to Negrotown
Oh, you are
