[Chorus]II amI am aI am a blackmanI am aI amI am IBlackman(love a blackman from infinity to infinity)I amI am a blackmanI am a blackman you scared to clap forI am a blackman who likes metephorI am a blackman whose antiwarI am IAnd the blackman that I am is quite sureI am not pureAfrican fruits mixed with Cherokee juiceI am a black man with red clay rootsArkansaw I amBlackman speaking my I am truthI am not trying to recruitYouth for nothing but revolutionSolutions to overstand the I amThey be, unlike meI am a man, and I am as uniqueAs youI am the I who will stand for my truthI am a blackman educating our youthSonnets to EbonicsOthello in the East OI am, the sum total of your hopeI am a blackman who sometime can't copeWith haters who hate on knowledgeI am a blackman who says go to collegeIgnorance should be abolishedBut the greatest teacher is a preacherWhose mirror smiles and says to him....[Chorus]I am deeper than the deep blue sea, on a ThursdayBefore Friday's storm comes to wash me cleanI am pretending to be a pretense of something I have always been,I'm a number one raiders fan with no face paint, I ain't a chauvanist,I like taking long walks by the beach and tasting clouds outside of my reachAs I walk amongst you, you don't need to know this history,Just the here and now, that is how we learn to connect with respectConnect with respect, we need to break it on down and connect with respectThis freedom you don't wanna let me own it, but like a donut fried in a vatI keep popping back up, as tough as the day that you denied me like JesusThree times before dawn, the battle likes are drawn and verbal bombs are your demiseThe lies you told yourself are caught in your breath,Respect those who resurrect flowers from the melting snowThis is a rhyme about giving and living more than I'm takingEscaping the hum-drum of the barrel of a gun that I never heldThis is the voice of the book worm, this is the voice of the bookwormWho's words storm earls like hurricanesYou insert the manI am a BlackmanI am speakingGullah from the gut and gutter cause Gran D Coota be be GeechieI be speechifying to reach the dyingPlying they minds with my halfway lies and faggot pageantryAnd now, I beseech theeYeah mo be there over and underThe drum machines and creepy piano tinklingHoping you see me/I'm here to teach thingsI am hoping you believe meThese quotes I wrote stuck in my throatWhile I was swinging in yonder tree/my lover was singingMy brother was bringing for s/heBlankets and sage and thanking him for beingBut maybe that's just Phillip Bailey /wailing, entailing my fantasyA prevailing notion/Claude McKay at the edge of the oceanPLD toasting Jimmy B. at the party he's hosting beyond the seaWhere 206 times a hundred million bones beFresh and clean from four hindred years in salineGallons of tears for fears, pulling up the rear, hay balingIn the middle of the the barn and harms wayObadike on Ebay/means you can't be that way and stayBut Pointfive don't pray so what to say?Twixt December 26 and new years dayI loose the Strange Food and Fruit from the pastMy faithful first be on the lastI am....
