NiggyTardust, Grippo King, philosopher and artist
Downright to the marrow, he's the arrow through the heartless
Sunlight in the afternoon, his shadow travels furthest
Woven through the heart of doom
He's bursting through the surface, hardly nervous
Suffice to say, he understands his purpose
Threshold king of everything, a comical absurdist
Sometimes when he talks he sings
Yet keeps his high notes wordless
Sing along when Niggy sings, without you he'd be worthless
Homeless, earthless, Venus Hottentot up in the circus
Freak show, hear him speak so properly 'cause every word is
Measured against meaning, probably scheming to unlearn us
Don't you call him by his name, white people call him Curtis
When I say Niggy, you say nothin'
Niggy
Niggy
When I say Niggy, you say nothin'
Niggy (nothing)
Shutup
When I say Niggy, you say nothin'
Niggy
Niggy
When I say Niggy, you say nothin'
Niggy (nothing)
Shutup.
Put your mama on the phone
You can't say that girl, Niggy grown
What your daddy gonna do?
He can't deny what he know true
What the preacher gonna say?
Preacher can't say shit, boy, the preacher's gay
What your granny gonna do?
She can't deny the truth
Hey, NiggyTardust here to stay
Paint him on your lunch box or your thermos for a fee
You might win the chance to hang with Niggy for a day
Side affects may include simply doing what you say
Hey, NiggyTardust, no guitar
Ghetto gothic millionaire a super-duper star
Side affects may include simply being who you are
You are yourself, my darling dear and were never a nigger
When I say Niggy, you say nothin'
Niggy
Niggy
When I say Niggy, you say nothin'
Niggy (nothing)
Shutup
When I say Niggy, you say nothin'
Niggy
Niggy
When I say Niggy, you say nothin'
Niggy (nothing)
Shutup
So what y'all niggas wanna do?
I'm standin at the pearly gates
So you can run and get your crew
I'm knocking once then I'm bustin' through
With some gold diadoras and a shirt that reads 'Do Unto Who?'
What y'all niggas wanna do?
Elevate the race or love these other muthafuckers too?
The choice is yours which means it's up to you
But how can I love myself if I can't love you?

I got my propagandaI got revisionismI got my violence
In hi-def ultra-realismWanted to cap somebodyWanted to buck them downWanted to pull the triggerJust to hear the fucking soundI got my propagandaI get my cable freeI hang it from my neckAnd go to work from tree to treeIt's got to be the poisonThey're putting in my foodIt takes me by the brainAnd marks me to my every moveI try to change the channelThe channel is changing meI take the cup and fill it upBefore I peeI got my propagandaI got revisionismI got my violenceIn hi-def ultra-realismI'm spread out on the toiletI'm sprawled across the floorI feel my head expandingBeyond the roomBeyond the doorI'm in the oval officeIn an electric chairI sign my nameBeneath the claimThat I don't really careI got survivalismYou got my claim to fameI got the right to sayI'm fighting in Jesus's nameI see the .45'sBut I wont act surprisedFound myself along the wayBelieveing your liesI got my propagandaI got revisionismI got my violenceIn hi-def ultra-realismAll a part of this great nationI got my fistI got my planI got survivalism
