I'm sick of n***as in Expeditions
I'm sick of girls with two-way pagers
I'm sick of everybody thinking they're that f**ing cool
And I'm tired of girls thinking that being attractive is an occupation
And I'm tired of J Lo having white parents in every movie she's in
And I'm sick of Egyptians looking like old white men with English accents in cartoons like the Prince of Egypt
When the Prince of Egypt was black and so was Moses for that fact
And I want to smack people who don't even realize Egypt is in Africa
And I'm sick of people acting like slavery doesn't affect the present state of blacks in this country
When slavery was a race with a 450-year head start for everyone else
Plus, truth be told, my grandmother's grandmother was a slave
So it wasn't that far back
But I'm sick of us still using it as an excuse
And you know what?
I'm sick of black features being attributed to everyone except blacks
Like having big lips is cool, but only after Angelina Jolie has them
And having a big booty is cool, but only after J Lo has them
And I'm tired of the media pushing these ugly African models
Trying to convince me they exotic when they just plain ugly
There's not only one type of black beauty
And I'm sick of Master P being allowed to speak on behalf of hip hop
When he represent nothing but everything wrong with it
And I'm sick of being an invisible man to everyone except the cops
And I'm sick of George Bush acting arrogant about his ignorance
And I'm sick of us not suing for back taxes
Because taxation without representation is a legitimate case
Because until the early 1970s blacks weren't allowed to vote
But we were still paying taxes
And I'm sick of apathy
And I'm sick of American Idol and the whole Survivor phenomenon
I want to drop kick minorities who vote Republican
And I'm tired of poets who talk like this
And poets who talk like this
And I'm tired of poets doing poems for p**y
I'm tired of audience members snapping in poetry readings
And I'm sick of Cuba Gooding Jr crying in every movie he's in
And I'm sick of Samuel L Jackson wearing f**ed up wigs in every movie he's in
And I'm tired of clubs making you wait in them long lines to make them look more popular
Then I'm sick at myself for standing in them lines so I can be seen at a popular club
Right?
And I'm sick of people bragging about the ghetto
The ghetto's a situation we supposed to be getting out of not embracing
And I'm sick of everybody trying to be in the entertainment industry
Because soon, there'll be no audience just a bunch of monkeys on stage dancing
