[UNDER THE PECAN TREE]
THIS IS THE MUSIC... I WOULD ADVISE YOU TO LISTEN
http://youtu.be/wFoKqnk0jmM
In the shade of the pecan tree they discussed life and all its consistencies and inconsistencies...
"Why massa got to have so much? Why massa think he knows whats best for us... Fuck massa!"
In the kitchen as they talked they said "massa shole is good to us... least we aint working in the fields like them other niggers.
In the dining room massa sat back from his big ol meal and rubbed his belly as he reached over and patted Annie on her fat nigger ass... life sure was good.
As time went on the niggers in the field went to work in factories and restaurants, dug ditches and shoveled shit.
In the shade of the pecan tree they drank beer and cursed loud... confronted massa as he rode by in his blue and white car... Fuck massa!
In the boardrooms of the corporations they tried to talk like massa and forget that they too were just niggers... They swore allegiance to the republic and wore Gucci and Prada... drove iron man Audi's.
Played golf on the same course as massa as he talked about them other niggers... "Don't worry Jim you aren't like them."
Big ol nigger smile.
In the shade of the pecan tree they saw massa as he fucked the prostitutes and bought the crack... did all the shit that didn't make the paper... saw the police turn massa loose.
"Man this shit is fucked up." they said as guns flooded the ghetto and life became cheap... all the young black men wanting to be thugs.
Little girl lying dead on the hard concrete, victim of a drive by... mother crying to the cool blue sky.
"Why oh lord?
WHYYYYY!!!
A young man the victim of the neighborhood watch guy... black life but a byword in the newspaper as day by day we are they... another dead nigger on a stone slab.
In political circles they wear the mark as they wrangle with legalese and sell their own people short... somebody has to be the slave... glad it ain't me.
Platinum credit cards and diamond cuff links.
In the shade of the pecan tree they watch it all and comment on the sad tale of the house and the field nigger as the tale winds down.
Fuck massa!
