Pryor to Richard
I used to draw True Nigger Pictures
I used to speak True Nigger Scriptures
Pryor to Richard
Pryor to Richard
I never laughed at being black
I just accepted the facts
Pryor to Richard
Pryor to Richard
The word Nigger Hurt
It made me feel lower then dirt
Pryor to Richard
Pryor to Richard
I cried in detentions
I longed for Out of School Suspension
Pryor to Richard
Pryor to Richard
Niggas never showed much pride
We had yet to open our eyes
Pryor to Richard
Pryor to Richard
The Black Panthers were lost
Ain't show whitey whos the boss
Pryor to Richard
Then He came.......
Throwing 'Nigger' round like it was your name
Cussing and Fussing at Whites like he was insane
Putting all Racists to shame
What was going through his Brain?
What was going through his Veins?
The government gave it to us Richard ain't one to blame
He just had the fame
So he was 'wrong' for his addiction
Good Ol' Rick....He'd be quick 2 give that a flip
Saying There's no wrong in addiction
Just wrong in the one who inflicted
Pain 2 Comedy.....
His moms was a bust-down
His pops was a no show
His jokes all came from that info
Leave U like..
'Awwww shit what we in fo' '
Rick did it again
Better then any musician with a pen
Better then a Vet with any pet
Gave every living thing respect
Even Though Respect at first for Rick was hard 2 get
He still showed R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Came hard with his and made it look easy
Tellin' everyone I know yall mutha fuckas need me
Last words.....
'Can't a Ol' Nigger be let down easy? '
