Gonna drown the man in the water

And the water was shiny like a new knife

But poppi stopped at the banks of the delta

He said this sure ain't worth this man's life

Someday the wind of change

Is gonna blow on through

And put all of these jokers right

C'mon and sing now

Hey o hey o o poppi

Hey o hey o o poppi

Hey o hey o

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Hey o hey o o poppi

Hey o hey o hey poppi

Hey o hey o

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Papa got a brand new bag dang

Delta blues got 'em dazed and confused

Came a long way crazy seems the abuse is racisms baby

And it's wild 'cause i connect the word with pain

Now some smile when they scream the name

Funny how the times have changed

And the rhymes have changed

But some cats frame remains the same

Agitating adjective what gives? die n word die

But i wanna live knownin' all this

Where the word came from

I must be three times stupid and stuck on dumb

If i use it and confuse it

With a term of love

Now popular culture

Can't stop 'til it gets enough

Underlined in marketing campaigns

I feel undermined

Heard the n word promotes the bottom line

Down by the river there's a great divide let's ride

Don't call me nigga 'cause you know i don't like it like that

(that's right)

Don't call me nigga 'cause you know i don't like it like that

Don't call me nigga 'cause you know i don't like it like that

(that's right)

Don't call me nigga 'cause you know i don't like it like that

(no no no)

Shout it out

(shout it out)

Yeah shout it out

Oh shout it out

Shout it out

Shout it out

(no no no)

Hey o hey o

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Hey o hey o o poppi

Hey o hey o hey poppi

Hey o hey o

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Hey o hey o o poppi

Hey o hey o hey poppi

Hey o hey o

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Hey o hey o o poppi

Hey o hey o hey poppi

Hey o hey o
