In his Big black world, he drives a big black car, 1
He is the Big black man with an evil mean scar.2
He saw small white men ignoring him all the time,3
They would spit at him and act as though everything was fine.4
He would go to a hotel and ask them, do you serve pigs?5
Sit down, big black man, we serve all living things.6
The Big black man in his big black jeans,7
The bigness you have is yet to be seen.8
He would make his way to the poll and say, "I want to rule you."9
Big black man, You are miles away from the zoo.10
The small white men with their small white cars,11
The deciet of their lies is still so far.12
Big black man, is it a wonder that you arent near me?13
You cause the most havoc, in this nice country.14
People like you, should try to behave,15
Keep drawing your paintings inside your cave.16
And they say all these things, unmindful of the rage17
The blood and revolutions, the scarred will wage.18
For life is a big ocean, and yet ripple's slaves,19
Little tricklets that are tomorrows waves.
