Black History Month

Can you feel it?

Nothing can save you

I'm tougher than bullets so, baby, pray to your savior

I never been shot, but I bet you I'm braver

I'm takin' my spot, NGH, 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 NGH got peppered and maced!

Now amplify this, turn up the bass!

Picture me, lampin' in the company car

Rims like Tibetan prayer wheels

NGH, what? I'm a star

I cruise the block like a feather, back and forth till 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 NGHs know who be bringin' the funk

Lee's 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 NGH 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 mothership 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, bop, 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

(Turn up the bass, bass, bass)

Yo, the banana peels are carefully placed!

(Turn up the bass, bass, bass)

So keep your shell toes carefully laced!

(Turn up the bass, bass, bass)

The illest NGH got peppered and maced!

(Turn up the bass, bass, bass)

Now amplify this, turn up the bass!

(Turn up the bass, bass, bass)

Yo, the banana peels are carefully placed!

(Turn up the bass, bass, bass)

So keep your shell toes carefully laced!

(Turn up the bass, bass, bass)

The illest NGH got peppered and maced!

(Turn up the bass, bass, bass)

Now amplify this, turn up the bass!

(Turn up the bass, bass, bass)
