Текст песни Spike Lee Speaks - Big Game James

But what is it
That they say
That gets at you
More than anything else

Well
For me
I think
Not all white people
But some white people

Have this
Misconception that
You know
Why should black people
Be angry
Why should you be angry Spike

You have some fame
You have money
You have courtside
Tickets at the Knicks

So why should you be angry
I'm very fortunate
I'm one of the
One of the couple people
That slipped through this crack
An the black underclass now
Is larger than its ever been
And uh

I mean the anger is still there
It was evidence
You know what happened
In Los Angeles
An that really I think
That was just
The tip of the iceberg

But the anger
Ain't going nowhere
It'll never leave

On my worst day
It's exactly what I need
To inspire
Talk to God
Drop down to my knees
How many sick can we heal?
How many mouths can we feed?

In this monster
Pray I don't get
Addicted to greed
But well just have to see

Rule Number 1
It's no emotions or feelings
In business
The most emotional ones
Taught me all of those lessons

I'm done hanging with people
That wanna see me fail
They point out my flaws
How often do they see themselves

Why do I feel so comfortable alone?
My life is getting bigger
But inside
There is a hole
What can I do
To redirect this wretched
Path that I'm on

In my life
I put everybody before me
They label me as the villain
Never let me tell my story

The writing on the wall
Turned out be the Blueprint
Stick to your hustle
Til they put you in the newsprint

And that's why you wanted
To put the Rodney King Incident
At the top of the film
To show what
To show that
This country has not that many
Strides forward

The stuff that Malcolm X
Talked about
25, 30 years ago
Today is still

An in fact the audience
That most
Malcolm appealed to
During his life
Was the black underclass
Was it not

In the urban areas
Where Dr. King was more ascendant
In the South

An no amount of money
Ever bought a second of time
I ain't fucking around
With anybody wasting mine
That love is romanticism
That shit will have you blind
Sometimes you win
Sometime you lose
But it's all on God's time

An I done seen
A lot of women
That's all shapes an sizes
All think they winners
Deserve gifts and prizes
She came along for the ride
Its enterprising
I don't sweat her cause
She honest
None of this is surprising

Only god can feed you
I don't wanna mislead you
Got the play an I need you
Walk away if you need to

There a lot of black folks that
Still to this day
Do not trust
The United States government
The United States government
Until 1972
For 40 years

Conducted a experiment
Where they wanna see
What syphillis does to untreated
Black People

I just find it hard to believe
This thing just popped
Out of nowhere

The United States government

What about giving
Indians blankets
Infected with small pox

A whole lot of stuff
