James Brown Lyrics by Paul Mooney

Masterpiece

0

It’s been a bad nigger year. You know when this shit actually started? It started with James Brown. We were just too stupid to pick up on it. It did, when they locked that nigger up, it was the beginning of the bullshit for Americans on getting niggers. Lock that nigger up, make him spend all his time. This is real, I’m not lying. So he’s-- the nigger has changed. You know his songs, his lyrics, and shit. I don’t want anybody. Give me nothing. Open up the door. I can get in myself. I don't want nobody. Get in the nut. I open up the door, I can get in myself. He used to talk some shit, and repeat the shit in case you didn’t hear it. I don’t want nobody. Give me nothing, open the door so I can get it myself. Say it loud. Back in the Back. Say it loud, back in the back. But not now, that shit has changed, that nigger has changed. James Brown ain’t the godfather no more, I just saw him looked like an old black Chinese woman, that shit has changed. Goddamn truth you know it is.
