Deuteronomy: Nigger Man Lyrics

Chorus:

 All I ever wanted was a nigger who would be true

 All I wanted was a nigger man

 

 All I ever wanted was a nigger who would be true, be good to me

 While doin' the evil that niggers do

 My view of self was that of a divine ho

 Like the ones portrayed on the white man colonized minded rap shows

 Oh the afro dizzy act of my blak rebel

 I am a woman and to this world I accommodate myself

 My place is in my blak man's defiance my nigger divine for his Sadness

 so well complemented mine

 When I look at you so blak and blue

 My love for you sad but true

 Chorus

 

 One night on a love high we metamorphasized into

 gigantic blak butterflies

 And for the first time I saw the god inside

 I realized my nigger redefined was the blak man divine and he could take me
higher

 And the divine woman was what the blak man desired

 

 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat;

 for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die (Genesis 2:17)

 To them he said I will greatly multiply your pain and your conception; in pain
shall you bring forth children, and you shall be dependent on your husband and
he shall rule over you (Genesis 3:16)

 Then god said, let us make man in our image

 

 Let's go back to the time when the mind and soul were divine faith
unquestioned

 Mother father god said let us make man in our own image god was not alone as
no one should be I search for a righteous hand to rule over me

 

 For you are a holy people to the Lord your god; The Lord your god has chosen
you to be a beloved people to himself, above all people that are upon the face
of the earth (Deuteronomy 7:6)

 

 The Lord shall bring a nation against you from afar, from the ends of the
earth, as swift as the eagle that flies; a nation whose language you do not
understand (Deut. 28:49)

 

 Your sons and daughters shall be given to another people and your eyes shall
look on, and you shall grieve over them all the day long and there shall be no
might in your hand to do anything (Deut. 28:32) 

 

 The fruit of your labors shall a nation that you know not eat up and you shall
be wronged and oppressed always (Deut. 28:33)
