Keith Shocklee - Pollywanacraka lyrics

[Verse 1] She wants a lover right now But not no brother Her man gotta have a lot of money To get under her cover Now she's a fine sister But up here she's missin' it She says she wanna learn about life Not old black bull sh** At the age of 15, a brother gave her a baby She's 19 now and it drove her crazy That's why every time she turns around All the people in the neighborhood Look and get mad and sing [Hook] Polly! [Verse 2] Meet Mr. Successful, I guess he's blessed yeah But he happens to be a brother who only wants blue eyes and blonde hair Now this young mister, he don't like sisters He couldn't find that special one, he know why he missed her He says sisters wasn't good enough They only wanted his green stuff That's why every time he turned around All the people in the neighborhood looked and got mad and sang Chorus: Polly! I try to tell my people There should not be any hatred For a brother or a sister Whose opposite race they've mated No man is God And God put us all here (yeah) But this system has no wisdom The devil split us in pairs And taught us White is good, Black is bad And Black and White is still too bad That's why everytime I turn around All the people in my neighborhood Look mad and sing Chorus: Polly wunna!
