Mississippi Moonpie [Philippians 2:3]
Lyrics
Artificial coloreds eating artificial collards
Got a giant on the box.
What’s that?
Ain’t a dead gnat here to find
Got an axe to grind?
Well I got mine, Mississippi moonpie‘Stead of being injun, you a engineer smart boy
Shotgunshack ain’t a fact in your world now
But-uh, howju be a watchu is
Without the “scratch/shuffle” end-and-around
…eating greens that ain’t even from the ground?Won’t pick the cotton from a bottle,
But look at your roots and find a cotton-picking family
Of ground-grown, “poke-soaked, collards-coloreds
Dreaming of you running that end-and-aroundTowne Cars and Cadillacs
You’s way past that
Got a Lexus just to vex us
Come to town like a spaceman
just to find your left-behind’s got their behinds up, too“Hup-two…”
March to the drummer
Beat your past…beat it fast!
Get your goings up to HeavenUrban jungle-buddy, sphere-chucking GI-Joe-beau
Oh black Walter, keep on shining
Mississippi Moon Pie-eater…wontcha keep on, Shine.
Turn behind and see your future.
