Better Break Away from the Judas Quisling Class

“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!
