lyrics

The black guy always dies, the black guy always dies, if you don’t know you better open your eyes and
The black guy always dies.
The black guy always dies, the black guy always dies, if you don’t know you better open your eyes, and realize.
The black guy always dies.

In the movies, in the streets, on the records, over beats, in the paper, in the news, every other doode you meet

Cheap horror movie of the week, killer in a small town, you know who goes out alone, to investigate the strange sound.

Generic, predictable, and trite, every black actor in Hollywood plays the same stereotype,

So hold your stereo right, and keep on rehearsing. Urban youth referring to themselves in the third person.

Shut your mouth for a minute and just listen to me. Audition for the lead, and get cast as victim number three.

final - ly, on the way to the top. Gonna give this community theatre group, everything that you’ve got.

Cheeseburger, milkshake and an extra large fries. I’ve seen this movie before, the black guy dies.

Fried chicken, grape juice, and a word to wise. I’ve seen this movie before, the black guy dies.

Watermelon, collared greens, and a pigs new shoes. You’ve seen this episode before, the black guys lose.

Cheesecake, bean pie, and a hit from the bong, you don’t want to be the new guy captain kirk brought alone

Roscoe’s chicken and waffles, with a 40 on the side, the black cliche
using 90’s ebonics, can’t wait till he dies.

Cheeseburger, milkshake and an extra large fries. I’ve seen this movie before, the black guy dies.

Fried chicken, grape juice, and a word to wise. You’ve seen this movie before, the black guy dies.

Watermelon, collared greens, and a pigs new shoes. You’ve seen this episode before, the black guys lose.

Cheesecake, bean pie, and a hit from the pipe, show me a successful black actor that isn’t basically white

Roscoe’s chicken and waffles, with a 40 on the side, you know it’s a science fiction if the balck guy doesn’t die.

Cheeseburger, milkshake and an extra large fries. I’ve seen this movie before, the black guy dies.
