I work hard every day
And I try to do a good job
My boss often walks up to me and says
"Hey boy, you sure been doing a nice job"
But I could always tell when he's had a fight with his wife
'Cause he comes to work screaming at me
He calls me a "nigga," he calls me "trash"
I call him a "cracker," I called him "trash"
If you treat me like a man, I'll treat you like a man
But I ain't gonna be no Uncle Tom like my father was
I remember when I was a little boy
Living with my father on a farm
His boss would walk up and kick him behind and said
"Hey boy, tomorrow, you better be on time"
Father would smile and say, "Okay, Mr. Jones"
And that's when I would start to cry
I said, "Daddy, you're bigger than him
Don't take that from him
You don't have to be an old Uncle Tom like your father was"
Now that's why I left home, went out on my own
So I could find a better life for myself
But I found out it's the same old scene living everywhere
But I ain't gonna be no Uncle Tom like my father was
Now do you hear what I say, and don't you know what I mean?
I ain't gonna be no Uncle Tom like my father was, no, no no
Uncle Tom was written by Arthur Adams.
Uncle Tom was produced by Stewart Levine & Wayne Henderson.
