NEGROLOSOPHY
(Boschetti/Taylor/West)
Essexincantations (BMI)
Boschetti Sauce Music (ASCAP)

Chorus (1x):

Negro Boys/and negro girls
Negro us/in a negro world
Negro us/negro you
Negro joy/and negro blues
Negro joy/and negro blues
Negro us/Negro you
Negro me/Negro see
You change your name/but it's all the same
Negro joy/and negro pain

Butterflysoul:

Born fitting the description
And inaccurate depictions lead to premature lynchings
And family trees don't bear fruit
Now ain't that strange; It's time for a change
We've been mangled by media's messaging
Misleading the innocent
For patronizing politics, parading propaganda
Arm yourself with afro picks
Pick the word out, get the word out
Re-memorize this Negrolosophy,
We are one love, soul singing itself
Stop falling for those carefully calculated conundrums
And black men won't be on the run
And she wont be left to raise our son
And negroes when asked what we fear
We'll say there ain't none, there ain't none

Chorus (1x):

Negro love, Negro world
Negro you, Negro we
Negro you, Negrolosophy


25Percenter:

I be negro
more than an antiquated identification
the prayer of a nation
dredging up pride from muddy waters and cotton fields
now that's some real keeping it real
tightropes suffocating next breath
so I mic check to respect
my negro family tree
a she giving birth to possibility
me, a next breath
dreaming beyond glass ceilings
a life of meaning, artistic leanings
jazz and pizzazz, or diamonds amidst glass
ends met with no cash
but guts when we got in ruts
Now, obsessions with big butts, the next nut
Getting paid to buy Escalades
We used to fade hair, now dreams fade
Self-degradation in negro nations
Self-denial making piles of skeletons wearing dirty laundry
Mental health, not stealth
It stinks like the shame we lock away behind closets
Negroes need to stop it
No longer microscopic
Negroes need to stop it

outro:

Negro us, Negro me
Negro You, Negro free
Negro us negro we
Negro You Negro Free
You Change your name, but it's all the same
Negro Joy, Negro pain
