Amiri Baraka - Jungle Jim Flunks His Screen Test lyrics

James, you shd know How the world Makes you ugly. You is, you know, James Veddy ugly. You-gly, we used to say Back in the playground, just touching The surface of the thing, Not understanding that there's ugly, there's You-gly Then various deeper degrees. Like Right on till you get to the bottom of the beginning Of some sh** too ugly to be dug, by mere you man. I never seen that deepest dirtiest past-serial k**er ugly I seen Bush-2 and his charcoal imp-dummy, Kneel Bent I seen a Lott, a Bilbo, a thing wrapped in white sheets carrying His burning soul, disguised as a baking nigra eyes melting Into snot. I seen somethin' so ugly I canceled it out my mind And if I try to remember I get horizontal lines and blood come out Ugly is the first letter of where you is. Satan begin with an S. Put together they is money. A collection of ignorant medusas Halloween; piano lessons in a human skin mask polka dot with blood. Self is above, dead and unconnected, as if floating Defying gravity with the magic of bullsh**. You ugly with and in and because is you was the same You ugly because you know you ugly and say you ain't You ugly because you eat everybody and belch Hollywood You ugly because you like it and wanna be ugly and you think ugly Cute. You uglier than anybody except who made you ugly, look between yr legs At the flickering light of skyscraper teeth on fire again, and some peepas say God did it. Was either him or somebody else colored. You ugly because that's how you got rich But you got more ugly than you got money With all that money you still ugly. The ugliest other thing in the world think you ugly And happy because you make them feel better You uglier than Agnew. When you get yr Ph.D. in ugly You will be Hitler's last meal. You uglier than Churchill And Bush the father's hideous wife Ghouls say you ugly behind yr back Vampire scared a you When Clarence Pendleton pa**ed gas it painted your face all over the room You uglier than that painting Clarence Thomas got in the attic Of his real self which Oscar Wilde did of him You uglier than Papa Doc, Hitler and Mobutu You uglier than Mussolini Franco and the Swedish Angel Is yr twin. You uglier than zombie vomit. Uglier than zoo dirt. You the ugliest thing in the human family And the ID you got sayin' you human is ugly You ugly as devil doo doo, white supremacy and you Is identical. You ugly as the brain emptiness of a cracker lynch mob. You ugly as Falwell dressed as Cab Calloway. You uglier than white people. You uglier than Armstrong Williams. You and Ashcroft is movie stars Among the backward dead. All insects look better than you. At yr best You is vomit, rats run away from you, You is uglier than Dahmer's sweet tooth. You is uglier than the police. War is yr make up. Prison yr altar. Assa**ination yr Conversation. You think stealing make you better looking,. Lying gives you an orgasm. Only pain make you smile. But you so ugly No smile would stay near your face. You drink people's tears and paint yr face With their blood. You so ugly when you sleep your dreams torture people. The Devil complains when you tell people you him. The Devil say you uglier than him. That cd be a trick. But nobody ever seen the two of yall Together. But the Devil dress better than you. Your face is a uniform. Clothes wont let you put them on You cannot fart because gas refuses to stay in yr a** You went to Denmark for s**ual transformation But the doctors cd not figure out which s** you were. You claim not to be dead You claim the reason you look the way you do Is not yr fault. "Nature made me like this," You say. Naturally everything denies it.
