Black History Month Lyrics & Tabs by Saul Williams
Black History Month
guitar chords lyrics
Can you feel it? Nothing can save you
I'm tougher than bullets, so baby, pray to your savior
I've never been shot but I bet you I'm braver
I'm taking my spot, nigga, I ain't afraid to
Be me
Sometimes I find it very hard to be
(WHO?)
Me
(The Inevitable Rise And Liberation Of NiggyTardust!)
Yo, the banana peels are carefully placed
So keep your shell toes carefully laced
The illest nigga got peppered and maced
Now amplify this, turn up the bass!
Picture me
Lampin' in the company car
Now amplify this, turn up the bass!
Picture me
Lampin' in the company car
Rims like Tibetan prayer wheels,
Nigga what? I'm a star
I cruise the block like a feather,
Back and forth til I land
As the song in your ear,
Or the book in your hand
Now. this fuckin' world is
'Bout to know who I am
Got your whole system up in my trunk
That dog-eat-dog, make-my-woofers-bark
Atomic crunk
All my trill niggas know
Who be bringing da funk
Lees and shell toes like it's Black History Month
Yo, the banana peels are carefully placed
So keep your shell toes carefully laced
The illest nigga got peppered and maced
Now amplify this, turn up the bass!
Yo, the banana peels are carefully placed
So keep your shell toes carefully laced
The illest nigga got peppered and maced
Now amplify this, turn up the bass!
Yo, the banana peels are carefully placed
So keep your shell toes carefully laced
The illest nigga got peppered and maced
Now amplify this, turn up the bass!
There was one
Bore witness to the rays of the sun
Synthesized in her own image, photo negative shun
The development of Parliament, the phallic bop gun
Thus, the mother-ship connection spawned the birth of the drum
Ancient drum begat drum
Kingdom go, kingdom come
Ancient sector of the scepter risen up to the sun
Hidden hand of man begat patented clone of the drum
Boom Bap strapped into a wire, tightly coiled, and re-spun
(TRIGGER!) sound, trigger gun,
Drum machine, machine gun
Bodies piled, carefully filed under beats that were once
Reprogrammed to become
Unplugged concert of sun
Every ray with sample clearance, every two begat one
(BOOM BAP!) Hard as a gun
White cross-trainers unstrung
Let these suckas know the cost of making Harriet run
Let the North Star be your guiding post when turned from the sun
Until knowledge reigns supreme over nearly everyone
Yo, the banana peels are carefully placed
So keep your shell toes carefully laced
The illest nigga got peppered and maced
Now amplify this, turn up the bass!
Yo, the banana peels are carefully placed
So keep your shell toes carefully laced
The illest nigga got peppered and maced
Now amplify this, turn up the bass!
