Threatening Black Male (Tony Aaron) Lyrics: Aaron Bellamy & Toussaint Liberator
Elementary school teacher
Supposed to teach the children wrong from right
Teach the youth to hunger for knowledge and that love is neither black nor white
He teaches hate because he hates you He teaches fear because he fears you too He teaches envy because he’s envious of the gifts that god has given you
He wants to see you kneel Pledge allegiance to the flag Send you to the principal’s office hope you never come back
You’re just a threatening black male Even though you’re only 10 years old You’re just a threatening black male
Threatening his sense of control
Policeman, sworn to serve and protect Make sure everyone gets their proper respect But the only thing that makes him feel like a man Is that big black stick in his hand
He wants to break the will of a child
Like an animal, wicked and wild
He wants to see you kneel
wants to see you kiss his feet Another stripe on his uniform another black boy lyin’ dead in the street
You’re just a threatening black male almost 16 years old
You’re just a threatening black male Threatening his sense of control
You feel so threatened by a black male child he wants to put you in a hole
He’ll try to crush your dreams and take your life but he can never have your soul
Here comes that judge again
She’s meant to weigh the scales
Black man in her courtroom, he’s guilty never fails
She don’t see a man, she sees her bottom line
She’s got private prison shares and he’s gonna do some time
She wants to see you kneel Wants to see you kiss her feet She’s gonna turn a profit They don’t care if she cheats
You’re just a threatening black male Just turning 18 years old You’re just a threatening black male Threatening her sense of control
She feels so threatened by a black male child she wants to put you in a hole
He’ll try to crush your dreams and take your life but she can never have your soul
