Black Dummy
When you got delivered
from the Chinese kennel cell,
you gave good doggy praise to man
Didn’t have enough sense
to give thanks to God first
What’s even worst,
you didn’t thank God at all
Wrong call, black dummy
Your empty head is the size of a basketball,
dribbling offensive foul credit to flesh
With a pyramid heart ... black mummy,
you offer such weak black bury words
among the zombie tombs of the white pharaohs
Giving slavish praise to your government —
so gratefully dead
for them handing you leftover charity,
spoiled welfare cheese
Black dummy,
you make me wanna gag vomit and snot sneeze —
your rank words smell awful moldy to me
When you don’t glorify God
for saving your hoop skin butt
Vaniloquent ventriloquists
are gonna keep making you say
pure vanilla dummy stuff
Even a fool won’t let themself
be embarrased that much
Black dummy,
I guess your doormat pride
ain’t got stepped on enough
Someone done pulled some strings
for you, Black dummy —
Put you in the front of the IQ line,
gave you the lowest number
Odds are its just a matter of time
before you do something dumber
