I hit him with a piece of his philosphophy Anglo-Saxon muck in his type of greed What did he do to deserve such hate (He tried to) intellectualize 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) intellectualize my blackness.

He tried to summarize, to institutionalize, Still I could recognize, he was materialized He tried to intellectualize my blackness To make it easier for his whiteness He tried to intellectualize 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) intellectualize my blackness

Motherfucker don't you lecture - rise me Don't you ever try to lecturize me
