[Verse 1]
We deal in too [G]many externals, brother
Always afro's, handshakes
[E]and [G#m]dashik[G]is
Never can a man build a working
structure for [Em]black [G]capital[Em]ism
[G]Always does the man read Mao or Fanon

[Verse 2]
I think I know you would- be black
revolutionaries too well
Standing on a box on the corner,
talking about blowing the white man away
That's now where it's at yet, brother
Calling [Em]this man

[Verse 3]
[G]an Uncle Tom and telling
this woman to get an afro
But you won't speak to her if she looks like hell,
now will you brother
Some of us been checking
your act out kinda close

[Verse 4]
And by now its [G]looking kinda shaky
The way you been rushin' people
with your super black bag
Jumping down on some black men with both
feet cause they're after their B- A
But you're never around when your BA is in danger,
I mean your black ass
I think it was a little too easy for you to forget
that you were a negro before Malcolm
You drove your white girl through
the village every Friday night
While the grassroots stared in envy and drank wine,
do you remember?
You need [G]to get your memory
banks organized brother.

[Verse 5]
Show that man you call [G]an Uncle
Tom just where he's wrong
Show that woman that you're
a sincere black man
All we need to do is see
you shut up and be black
Help that woman
Help that man
That's what brothers are for brother.
