[Titus Templeton]

Came along this guy and I wonder if he is a Christian after all?




Here is a list of songs:

Lirics:


If I could be a nigger for a day
I could live my life the free and easy way
I'd take from Uncle Sam and let the white man pay
If I could be a nigger for a day

Now for one whole day, a nigger I could be
The first thing I'd do is join the NAACP
And I'd let Fwyzee and Foo-May do my thinkin' for me
If I could be a nigger for a day

Now I wouldn't wanna work, 'cause I wouldn't have to
Guess what I'd do next, well, you shouldn't need a clue
I'd go down to social services like all the brothers do
If I could be a nigger for a day

Oh if I could be a nigger for a day
I could live my life the free and easy way
I'd take from Uncle Sam and let the white man pay
If I could be a nigger for a day

Now when I'd sit down in that office, the office of welfare
I'd get food stamps, a medical card, and free child care
For all the illegitimate kids that I've got scattered everywhere
If I could be a nigger for a day

Now I'd have plenty of time, so I'd hang out with a mob
And I'd consume a little dope, or find a good place to rob
Now that would make me self-employed and I wouldn't even need a job
If I could be a nigger for a day

Oh if I could be a nigger for a day
I could live my life the free and easy way
I'd take from Uncle Sam and let the white man pay
If I could be a nigger for a day

And when I'd need somethin' I'd steal it so I wouldn't have to buy it
And if the cops would apprehend me you know that I'd deny it
And I could call Jesse or Al, they'd come and start a riot
If I could be a nigger for a day

But I can't be a nigger, and I don't really have to be
'Cause coon, let me tell ya, it's plain and simple to see
That if I was you for a day then I'd be taking from me
So I don't wanna be a nigger for a day

I don't wanna be a nigger for a day
I don't wanna live the free and easy way
I'll struggle long, and struggle hard, but that's okay
'Cause I'll never be a nigger for a day
No, I'll never be a nigger for a day

Lirics:


If you smell somethin' funny when you walk down the street
You're in Coontown
You look and see garbage all over the street
If you smell somethin' funny when you walk down the street
You're in Coontown
You look and see garbage all over the street
You're in Coontown
Up and down the street there ain't nothin' but trash
Nigger girls tryin' to get a nigger boy's cash
Then you even see a spook with a big moustache
In Coontown

On the corner there's a nigger with a drink in his hand
That's Coontown
Tryin' to bum a nickel from whoever he can
In Coontown
And don't be suprised, you can make a bet
If you go back tomorrow he'll be there yet
He's tryin' to get drunk, and drunk he's gonna get
In Coontown

Niggers never bother 'bout goin' to work
In Coontown
They seem to think that work is for jerks
Outta Coontown
He don't do nothin' but sleep and doze
He don't wake until his eyes are tired of bein' closed
It's half a day's work for him to scratch his toes
In Coontown

It amazes me to see the way they live
In Coontown
They do all the takin' while we have to give
To Coontown
The white man worries the nigger don't care
'Cause at the end of the month his check'll be there
Every nigger earns his livin' off the old welfare
In Coontown
Every nigger earns his livin' off the old welfare
In Coontown

Brother, I have to admit that I found myself tapping my toe to this man's music, but I have concluded that there are hidden racist overtones in the songs. I doubt he is a Christian.

Now that You say it Brother I have to agree. Some lines really go in that direction even it might not be intended.

[Dr. Anthony J. Toole]

He does leave himself open to that criticism somewhat. But this is an art form where multiple interpretations are possible - in a sense, the interpretation tells you more about the listener than the artist himself.

I found some other works which I believe to be by Mr. Rebel. He sure has a diverse repertoire.

Wake up in the mornin, shake my third leg in the toilet
Uzi on the nightstand, I'm the man you go to war with
Not a man you go to war against, patience, I'll get you
if that means I can't sleep a WHOLE YEAR, I'ma get you
I'm official not "A-Tisket" or "A-Tasket"
I'll put you in the casket, with the biscuit or the ratchet
They smoke hibiscus, they plants or trees, advanc-ed weed
Don't forsake us, you're all are fake bloods like moviemakers
I flow tighter as Tootie's braces, who be hatin us?
I be on a state bus in shackles if my .8 bust
'Cause y'all some tellers, opposite of bankers
I'm the shit for ages, my clique still real QB gangsters
Clique still movin like Freemasons
So if I'm on the flo' for the law, there's lodgers all across the nation
Nas is bred for the plan, to hold the Grand
Dragon's head in my hand, come and get me, here I am

I'm a nigger, he's a nigger, she's a nigger, we some niggers
Wouldn't you like to be a nigger, too?
To all my kike niggers, spic niggers, guinea niggers, chink niggers
That's right, y'all my niggaz, too
I'm a nigger, he's a nigger, she's a nigger, we some niggers
Wouldn't you like to be a nigger, too
They like to strangle niggers, blamin niggers, shootin niggers, hangin niggers
Still you wanna be a nigger, too? True..

I think behind all these methapors he is directly criticising Ham in the Bible.
