"You may not be aware of it yet
 but a very large great black migration is in progress.
 They're coming from fields down South, filling up the slums
 and I am talking about hundreds of thousands - maybe millions soon.
 Millions of ignorant negros rapidly massing together.
 Now, we cannot allow the image of this man to go on...
 impressing and exciting these people."

[Kane Mayfield]
(Uh, the skin I'm in, prison isn't physical
 The sin I'm is...) ...to your visual
Black blemish, I'm an acaademic
Goddammit, 'less my back's bendin for some Jack Lemon's
Old white man seem like my born enemy
Nino Browns, a wanna-be Joe Kennedy
See these clowns in a casino frowning
You can't beat the house, you lose and lose energy
This is America, so you ain't shit without
jewels and broads, the big coupe you want 'til you get it
Gotta spend it then you lose your heart
for the niggerish accoutrements, uh!
An admiration of a stranger, you want them to want you
to want them and they friends to hang witcha
But everything cost, yeah, the monkey climb high
But whenever they fall... (fall, fall...)

[Chorus]
See you on the jungle floor
where everything's been done before
But nothing comes EASY, love and war
What you need and what you've lost
See you on the jungle floor
where everything's been done before
But nothing comes EASY, love and war
What you need and what you've lost

[Kane Mayfield]
(Uh, the skin you in, ain't a plus
 It's just ain't a minus, so I guess that's enough)
White privilege is a cheat code, like Contra
Before the game starts, that shit is on ya
And black people look unwilling to try
You jump a cliff, take a risk, you got unlimited lives
Nigga we one man left, the darker that your suntan
Darker that your suntan gets...
You jump out of a plane to feel the kind of rush I
get just walkin my kids up to the bus stop
No wonder why you like a nigga with guns
Tellin they story, life is boring, you been missing the fun
So you catch King Kong, he looks so strong
Bitch, he is, hide your kids from this... jungle boy
Bang bang~!

[Chorus]

[Kane Mayfield]
(See the skin ain't fin
 It gets a little deeper if your skin ain't thin)
Uh, the race is the race you watchin
Distracting you from who picking your pocket - watch it
Give a man a gun, he robs a bank
Give a man a bank, he robs the world
Give a man a world bank, he robs the oil tank
Sell it by the barrel, you pay 'em and that's thorough
And I admit, I got a Guyanese momma
The IMF, crushed the Guyanese dollar
So I can tell you 'bout Jagen and Burnham
I'm quite sure the kaieteur concealed many murders
And murderers are never punished
Gats blow, facts known, stat quo runnin
Quarterback sack, corner back, no number
The ref ain't see 'em, no wonder
If you can kill a president, in Texas
What's a black man in an African election?
What's redneck who don't wanna pay taxes?
What's a bullet hole to the masses?

[Chorus]
