Deuteronomy: Nigger Man - Me'Shell Ndegéocello
Chorus: All I ever wanted was a nigger who would be true All I wanted was a nigger man All I ever wanted was a nigger who would be true, be good to me While doin' the evil that niggers do My view of self was that of a divine ho Like the ones portrayed on the white man colonized minded rap shows Oh the afro dizzy act of my blak rebel I am a woman and to this world I accommodate myself My place is in my blak man's defiance my nigger divine for his Sadness so well complemented mine When I look at you so blak and blue My love for you sad but true Chorus One night on a love high we metamorphasized into gigantic blak butterflies And for the first time I saw the god inside I realized my nigger redefined was the blak man divine and he could take me higher And the divine woman was what the blak man desired But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat; for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die (Genesis 2:17) To them he said I will greatly multiply your pain and your conception; in pain shall you bring forth children, and you shall be dependent on your husband and he shall rule over you (Genesis 3:16) Then god said, let us make man in our image Let's go back to the time when the mind and soul were divine faith unquestioned Mother father god said let us make man in our own image god was not alone as no one should be I search for a righteous hand to rule over me For you are a holy people to the Lord your god; The Lord your god has chosen you to be a beloved people to himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth (Deuteronomy 7:6) The Lord shall bring a nation against you from afar, from the ends of the earth, as swift as the eagle that flies; a nation whose language you do not understand (Deut. 28:49) Your sons and daughters shall be given to another people and your eyes shall look on, and you shall grieve over them all the day long and there shall be no might in your hand to do anything (Deut. 28:32) The fruit of your labors shall a nation that you know not eat up and you shall be wronged and oppressed always (Deut. 28:33)
