Mr Brown Baby

Mr. Brown Baby By Valerie Odom February 14, 2017 Mr. Brown Baby You either knows too little or too much The white man still gonna beat you on the daily While you're still accused of raping that young lady Everywhere you goes their purses they try to clutch Mr. Brown Baby They call you dumb because you was born at Grady They call you dumb because you was miseducated and such The white man still gonna beat you on the daily It was a sad time for the 80’s Everywhere the blackman went he was beat but the whiteman was untouched Mr. Brown Baby Can’t even go and drive a mercedes Without you being reported and put in jail and such The white man still gonna beat him on the daily Why do they hate you Mr. Brown Baby? He’s the blackest of the bunch Mr. Brown Baby The white man still gonna beat him on the daily
