coconut

don't tell me
how I'm supposed to feel
don't tell me
your intentions are good
don't tell me
you're part of the family
you're not even welcome
in this neighborhood

          you're a coconut, baby
          you're a coconut, baby
          you ain't nothing but
          a backstabbing coconut

vote against
your own people
keep saying
up is down
keep believing
the shit you're reading
keep pretending
your skin ain't brown

          you're a coconut, baby
          you're a coconut, baby
          you ain't nothing but
          a motherfuckin' coconut

          so let me get this straight,
          my cousin
          you know that last name of yours
          it sure as hell didn't come
          from royal ancestors
          on english shores

          you're a coconut, baby
          you're a coconut, baby
          you ain't nothing but
          a judas-quoting coconut
          and you better start running
          before you get your fool ass shot
