Following the Flock (While Pretending that You’re Not)

Hip Hop Boys, Capitalisms’ Fake Rebellious Toys

Y’know, some guys really can sing,

And they don’t wear bling

Not stooges for white rule

The boys who refuse to be

The white mans’ tools

Take a leaf

From Muhammed Ali

With his head clear,

His heart strong

He went to jail

Refused to bomb, Vietnam

‘Cos hey, he said

They never did me no wrong

Now we got Black guys

Doing the massa’s dirty work

If they not in Iraq

They’re cruising or they strutting

Like peacocks making

Making mindless noise

See they not the resisters

Of white rule

They more like a black version

Of the Proud Boys

For the right price

They’ll happily

Piss on their sisters
