Black Lives Are Cheap …
we’ve seen it all so many times before
you see, the truth is at its very core,
that,
black people are subhuman,
not perhaps animals,
because we treat our pets better than we treat those fucking niggers,
oh have I offended you by ignoring your politically fucking correct ‘n’ word?
well I don’t care,
because the truth stinks much much more,
the truth stinks like a massive fucking shitheap,
because the truth is,
black lives are cheap!
we’ve seen it all before, and that’s something they just don’t get,
we remember, you see, we fucking remember!

we remember that our brothers & our sisters everywhere
whose hues and shades and rainbow colours
make us your number one suspect,
the rapist criminal lazy drunken hand-me-down wanting creep,
yes all of that and more
because goddammit black lives are fucking cheap!
CAN you EVEN BEGIN to understand the REASONS why We, The People, are so fucking pissed off?
Are you even human enough to acknowledge THE FACTS,
Are you capable of thinking just one more level deep?
And perhaps then you will know why,
We, The Peoples’,
us niggers,
lives are so cheap!
