I Wanna Be Black Lyrics
I wanna be black, have natural rhythm
Shoot twenty foot of jism too
And fuck up the jews
I wanna be black, I wanna be a Panther
Have a girlfriend named Samantha
And have a stable of foxy whores
Oh oh, I wanna be black
I don't wanna be a fucked up
Middle class college student anymore
I just wanna have a stable of
Foxy little whores
Yeah yeah, I wanna be black
Oh, I wanna be black
Yeah yeah, I wanna be black
I wanna be black, wanna be like Martin Luther King
And get myself shot in the spring
And lead a whole generation, too
And fuck up the jews (fuck up the jews)
I wanna be black, I wanna be like Malcolm X
And cast a hex
Over President Kennedy's tomb
And have a big prick too (have a big prick too)
Oh, I don't wanna be a fucked up
Middle class college student no more
Yeah, I just wanna have a
Stable of foxy little whores
Yeah yeah, I wanna be black (yeah yeah, I wanna be black)
I wanna be black (yeah yeah, I wanna be black)
I wanna be black (yeah yeah, I wanna be black)
I wanna be black
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I wanna be black
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I wanna be black
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I wanna be black

(Yeah yeah, I wanna be black, oh oh)
(Yeah yeah, I wanna be black, oh oh)
