Affirmative action What's this country coming to? Affirmative action What's the white man gonna do? It's another government handout and simply said "You've got to hire a n***a instead" I was down at the office, cleaning up the joint Just doing a little extra, making brownie points Cause I'd heard somebody say A promotion's on the line So I was working hard, I wanted that promotion to be mine So I asked the CEO if I could have a try He said "you work hard, son and I know you qualify You're the best man for the job but it's out of my hands I've got to give it to a n***a, courtesy of Uncle Sam" Oh affirmative action What's this country coming to? Affirmative action What's the white man gonna do? It's another government handout and simply said "You've got to hire a n***a instead." Now I went looking for a new job the very next day I got an interview and things were surely going my way.. I was asked a lot of questions I was giving it my best My qualifications were impeccable I could tell he was impressed Then a n***a walked in and said "yo, what's up You need a man, well here I be. Say bro, you're in luck" The boss man looked at me and said "what can I do? Uncle Sam says I've got to hire the n***a instead of you" Oh affirmative action What's this country coming to? Affirmative action What's the white man gonna do? It's another government handout and simply said "You've got to hire the n***a instead" Now we've gotta stop what's happening to you and me The feds have got to listen And I'm sure you'll agree We need to get their attention And make them understand I've been thinking about it lately And I got a plan.. Oh let's act like a bunch of n******gs and go out in the street And demonstrate And raise some hell To everyone we meet We'll stop taking all this crap that we have in the past And tell Uncle Sam to stick the affirmative action up his a** So affirmative action What's this country coming to? Affirmative action What's the white man gonna do? It's another government handout and simply said "You've got to hire a n***a instead" Oh it's another government handout and simply said "You've got to hire a n***a instead"
