    My leather black jeans on
    My by any means on
    Pardon, I'm getting my scream on
    Enter the kingdom
    But watch who you bring home
    They see a black man with a white woman
    At the top floor they gone come to kill King Kong
    Middle America packed in
    Came to see me in my black skin
    Number one question they asking
    Fuck every question you asking
    If I don't get ran out by Catholics
    Here come some conservative Baptists
    Claiming I'm overreacting
    Like them black kids in Chiraq bitch
