Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I hit him with a piece of his philosophy
Anglo Saxon mocking his type of greed
What did he do to deserve such hate
He tried to intellectualize my blackness
He tried to summarize, to institutionalize
Still I could recognize, he was materialized
He tried to intellectualize my blackness
To make it easier for his whiteness
He tried to intellectualize my blackness
Oh, save me, save me
[Verse 2]
He's always tryin' to make up for his little quips
The joke about the **** and the yellow nip
Then he tells me, I'm so different from those other shits
When he tries to intellectualize my blackness
He tried to summarize, to institutionalize
Still I could recognize, he was materialized
He tried to intellectualize my blackness
To make it easier for his whiteness
He tried to intellectualize my blackness
Oh, save me, save me
[Verse 3]
Mother, mother don't you lecturize me
Don't you ever try to lecturize me
Mother, mother don't you lecturize me
He tried to intellectualize my blackness
To make it easier for his whiteness
He tried to intellectualize my blackness
Oh, save me
[Verse 4]
Say, he tried to intellectualize my blackness
To make it easier, make it easier
Intellectualize my blackness
Oh, save me
Intellectualize my blackness
Intellectualize me
Intellectualize me
Intellectualize me, oh
Intellectualize my blackness
Oh, save me, save me, save me, oh
