Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Black nigga white nigga standing in the dark Listen to the rhythm of the bass boom Black nigga takes a hit sending up a spark In the dark heat Swaying a little to the bass beat White nigga takes a hit takes money out Says this is what it's all about Rots your brain-who cares Black nigga stares White nigga sighs I like your music I like your style I crack a joke so why don't you smile White nigga dancing out on the floor tonight The band's not good but the beat seems right The band's all black and the floor's all white Clenching fists unite and fight Rock Against Racism rules tonight But in the real world No-one rules But fists are clenched all right Down in the Underground Out in the playground The common ground is a Battleground Now you don't have to be black to be a nigga no more The writing's on the wall Say-black is power White is flower Diveded we fall And behind the wall behind the door In the dark heat In the rhythm of the bass beat Something is wrong And no-one is taking the blame
