Hey Poppi, yea ho Hey Poppi, yea ho Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Lay low proud Poppi (Come on) Lay low proud Poppi Shout it out
He's from the Deep South (Shout it out) Pass Christian Mississippi
Where the cane breaks Are burnin' every night Lay low proud Poppi (Shout it out) Shout it out
Hey o, hey o, o Poppi Hey o, hey o, hey Poppi Hey o, hey o (Alright) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Poppi had a wife And she was black and Poppi was white (Shout it out) Everything was rollin' great (Shout it out) 'Til some man called her race a disgrace, oh no
Hey o, hey o, o Poppi Hey o, hey o, hey Poppi Hey o, hey o Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey o, hey o, o Poppi Hey o, hey o, hey Poppi Hey o, hey o Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
So Poppi went down to the river, hey To defend the honor of his wife (Somebody's killin' somebody) Gonna drown the man in the water (No, no, no) (Shout it out)
And the water was shiny like a new knife But Poppi stopped at the banks of the Delta He said this sure ain't worth this man's life
Someday the wind of change Is gonna blow on through And put all of these jokers right C'mon and sing now
Hey o, hey o, o Poppi Hey o, hey o, o Poppi Hey o, hey o Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey o, hey o, o Poppi Hey o, hey o, hey Poppi Hey o, hey o Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Papa got a brand new bag dang Delta blues got 'em dazed and confused Came a long way crazy, seems the abuse is racisms baby And it's wild 'cause I connect the word with pain
Now some smile when they scream the name Funny how the times have changed And the rhymes have changed But some cats frame remains the same
Agitating adjective, what gives? Die N word die But I wanna live knownin' all this Where the word came from I must be three times stupid and stuck on dumb
If I use it and confuse it With a term of love Now popular culture Can't stop 'til it gets enough
Underlined in marketing campaigns I feel undermined Heard the N word promotes the bottom line Down by the river there's a great divide, let's ride
Don't call me nigga 'cause you know I don't like it like that (That's right) Don't call me nigga 'cause you know I don't like it like that Don't call me nigga 'cause you know I don't like it like that (That's right) Don't call me nigga 'cause you know I don't like it like that (No, no, no)
Shout it out (Shout it out) Yeah, shout it out Oh, shout it out Shout it out Shout it out (No, no, no)
Hey o, hey o Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey o, hey o, o Poppi Hey o, hey o, hey Poppi Hey o, hey o Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey o, hey o, o Poppi Hey o, hey o, hey Poppi Hey o, hey o Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
