George Bush Doesn't Care About Black People

I downloaded the song as per Matt's suggestion. I suggest you download it as well. And afterwards, as per Matt's suggestion: Blast it from the fucking rooftops.

And after giving it a listen, I love it. Loved it so much, I had to transcribe it. The lyrics to George Bush Doesn't Care About Black People by The Legendary K.O. Produced by Kanye West. Words by Big Mon and Damien a/k/a Dem Knock-Out Boyz:

Kanye: "George Bush doesn't care about black people"

Now I ain't saying he's a gold digger
But he ain't messing with no broke niggas x2

George Bush don't like black people x4

Hurricaine came through, fucked us up 'round here
Government acting like it's bad luck down here
All I know is that you better bring some trucks 'round here
Wonder why I got my middle finger up 'round here

People's lives on the line
You declinin to help
Since you taking so much time, we survivin ourself
Just me and my pets and my kids and my spouse
Trapped in my own house just looking for a way out

5 days in this mother fucking attic
Can't use the cell phone I keep gettin static
Dying cause they lyin instead of telling us the truth
Other day helicopters got my neighbors off the roof
It's cool cause they said they coming back for us too
That was 3 days ago, I don't see no rescue
See a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do
Since God made the path that I'm trying to walk through

Swam to the store trying to look for food
Corner store's kinda flooded so I broke my way through
I got what I could, but before I got through
The news said police shot a black man trying to loot?
George Bush don't like black people x4

Now I ain't saying he's a gold digger
But he ain't fucking with no broke niggas x2

George Bush don't like black people x4

5 damn days
5 long days
And at the end of the 5th, he walking in like "Hey!"
Chillin on his vacation sitting patiently
Them black folks gotta hope, gotta wait and see
If FEMA really comes through in an emergency
But nobody seems to have a sense of urgency
Now the mayor's been reduced to crying
I guess Bush said "Niggas been used to dyin"

He said "I know it looks bad, just have to wait"
Forgetting folks who to broke to evacuate
Niggas starving and they dying of thirst
I bet he had to and check on them refineries first

Making a killing off the price of gas
He woulda been up in Connecticut twice as fast
After all that we've been through
Nothing's changed
You can call Red Cross, but the fact remains that

George Bush ain't a gold digger
But he ain't fucking with no broke niggas x2

Come down Bush, come on come down x4

George Bush ain't a gold digger

George Bush don't like black people x3

Come down George, come on come down x4

Thanks for the transcript. How do I download. For the purposes of this discussion, let's pretend I don't know anything about computers.

RIDE THE DUCKS HAS BEEN THERE FOR EVER AND STREET AND HIS BROTHER ARE MAKING MONEY AND ITS CALLED SUPER DUCKS BUT BECAUSE HES BLACK AND A MAYOR HE CAN DO THIS

Thanks BAHH for that enlightening comment. First off, _my_ "own kind" aren't black. Spelling mistakes I can take, shit happens, but to just leave out words and at times, it seems, entire phrases, out of your little rant is just plain annoying. Topped off with your ALL CAPS rant, jeez. Do you want the black people who allegedly raped "those white women" to die along side all of the white people, yellow people, brown people as well? Or just the blacks? Who would be the scum then?

Am I to assume that you're blaming black people for having good city jobs AND blaming black people for taking white people's hard earned tax money by being on welfare? Do you have a job? Are you blaming black people for taking your job away from you? And then squeezing you out of line at the welfare office? And what do the duck boats have to do with anything? I'm not a lifelong Philadelphian, enlighten me. I hate the stupid duck boats. I hate the squaking bills too.

Usually I wouldn't leave a comment, but Ajayi is one of those gems that deserve special attention. Either that or I'm calling Troll on Ajayi.

First off, there's a difference between accusing an individual of racism and accusing an _entire race_ of racism. Clumping all black people together into some sort of "we be stealin' yo' white women!!1" category is inane and racist.

Second, learn how to present your bold argument without contradicting yourself. You can't get a good paying job in Philadelphia unless you're black, blacks hold 98% of the high paying city jobs, and yet if you go to welfare centers all you find are black people taking the white man's money.

What, do these people get off their posh 9-5 city jobs, head down to the welfare office dressed in their $300 suits and collect their monthly checks, thus taking all 2% of the white man's hard earned money? These three ideas don't mesh - at all.

As has been brought up - what do duck rides have to do with anything? Afraid I missed some sort of important "SUPER DUCKS" ride that the mayor is doing something to. Must be because I'm more concerned with the _living breathing people who are suffering_ than what's happening to a fowl ride that's been available for years.

To be quite blunt, it looks to me as if you're not getting a job because you skimped on that whole edjumacation. Something tells me you're unemployed, probably drinking, and lashing out at a group of people as a result.

That or you're a troll. To help me sleep at nights I'm going to assume you're a troll; that way I can pretend people this daft don't really exist.

Harsh? Yeah; cope.

On a side note (so I can pretend I got in at least some comments about the actual article) I'd like to think that Bush isn't racist. He's just indifferent toward the plights of poor people. When in a predominantly black city it's not hard to come up with a predominantly black poverty class.

Still, snazzy song. I downloaded it and plan on tossing it at a few people I know.

Whoops; I just noticed how the names line up. Muy apologies to Ajayi for placing the wrong name up there. The post was directed toward our CAPS POSTING gem.
