Skunk Anansie - Intellectualise My Blackness lyrics

rate me

I HIT HIM WITH A PIECE OF HIS PHILOSOPHY

ANGLO-SAXON MUCK IN HIS TYPE OF GREED

WHAT DID HE DO TO DESERVE SUCH HATE

HE TRIED TO INTELLECTUALISE MY BLACKNESS

HE PUT ON HIS LEATHERS AND HIS REGGAE TRAINERS

THREW AWAY BOB MARLEY PUT ON MAXI PRIEST

I TOLD HIM `BOUT THE PROBLEMS OF HIS CONSCIOUS DEEDS

WHEN HE TRIED TO INTELLECTUALISE MY BLACKNESS

HE TRIED TO SUMMERIZE, TO INSTITUTALISE

STILL HE COULD RECOGNIZE, HE WAS MATERIALIZED

HE TRIED TO INTELLECTUALISE MY BLACKNESS

TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR HIS WHITENESS

HE TRIED TO INTELLECTUALISE MY BLACKNESS, SAVE ME

HE`S ALWAYS TRYIN` TO MAKE UP FOR HIS LITTLE SLIPS

THE JOKE ABOUT THE NIGGA AND THE YELLOW NIP

THEN HE TELLS ME I`M SO DIFFERENT FROM THOSE OTHER SHITS

WHEN HE TRIES TO INTELLECTUALISE MY BLACKNESS

MOTHERFUCKER DON`T YOU LECTURE - RISE ME

DON`T YOU EVER TRY TO LECTURIZE ME
