Song: deuteronomy: nigger man
Chorus:
All I ever wanted was a nigger who would be true
All I wanted was a nigger man
All I ever wanted was a nigger who would be true, be good to me
While doin' the evil that niggers do
My view of self was that of a divine ho
Like the ones portrayed on the white man colonized minded rap shows
Oh the afro dizzy act of my blak rebel
I am a woman and to this world I accommodate myself
My place is in my blak man's defiance my nigger divine for his Sadness
so well complemented mine
When I look at you so blak and blue
My love for you sad but true
Chorus
One night on a love high we metamorphasized into
gigantic blak butterflies
And for the first time I saw the god inside
I realized my nigger redefined was the blak man divine and he could take me higher
And the divine woman was what the blak man desired

Then god said, let us make man in our image
Let's go back to the time when the mind and soul were divine faith unquestioned
Mother father god said let us make man in our own image god was not alone as no one should be I search for a righteous hand to rule over me
