Marvin X back in da Bay


Wish somebody could hep me
hep me
back in da bay
made it out Chicago
Chicago gave a nigguh love
Chicago style
smooth love
cool love
love a nigguh love
Chicago style
treated a nigguh first class
nigguh love first class treatment
wow
ouuuuouwwow
baraka style
gave them Dope
baraka style
they loved it
must be the devil
must be the devil
ain't capitalism
ain't Chase
ain't Rockefeller
must be the devil
ain't nigguhs
ain't Africans
we sold ourselves into slavery right
the King didn't sell us
we sold ourselves
put ourselves on the slave ship
marched down to the shore
wavying the red flag
we marched through the door of no return
yes, the door of no return
imagine
door of no return
but then we returned
tears moans
but no white supremacy
except in African face
a little relief from raw colonialism
black face white supremacy
a little less stress
black face white supreamcy
black flag Nkrumah said
National anthem Nkrumah said
colonialism playing possum
who own the banks
who own the land
who own the minerals
must be the devil
must be the devil....
--Marvin X
