Snake Facts
We slither and slide and slink and slam and
Hurt ourselves then don’t understand
We pop and we jug and we dis and we dat
And we can’t understand why we jump like that
You dis me so I kill you
I dis you so you kill me
We all do dis and we all sweat flack
We black on black like yellow on black
chorus:
at each other--it’s a fact
on our brothers--it’s a fact
fail our mothers--it’s a fact
to each other--that’s that
Black on black is the darker track
We gotta be up to cover our back
We brace our back and take up the slack
To back the attack--it’s a fact.
White man freed the slaves, so what?
Put us in the autoclave, so what?
We hold our brothers back, that’s us!
Ridin’ shotgun at the back of the bus.
chorus:
Red on black--venom lack--it’s a fact
Yellow on black--watch your back--it’s a fact
Black on yellow--kill a fellow--it’s a fact
Black on black, blood-curdling howl of racial feedback
--it’s a fact
