Baysicklee, he jus’ anotha white house hoe…

 

Mah gut tell me Negroz lak him canint be trusted

Cuz dey morull compuzez is gilded an’ busted,

Sumpin’ lak Long Dong, an’ de Uppity Blakz,

Dese Negroz co-signin’ spyin’ an’ lyin’—

Bet Dem Negroz eben grew a lynchin’ tree,

Wit broun Big Brotha & de Holder Cumpunee?
