Intro
Eb                       G
  This song is dedicated to a certain kind of people
Cm                           Ab
  Which just so happens to be my favorite kind of people
Riff 1
Eb                                                      G
  You know the ones that you know, when you're standing next to them
                                Cm
And all of a sudden it gets dark I mean, you know your best friend is
    Ab
You know what I'm saying, right? Yeah.


Chorus 1
      Eb
Black people, I'ma steal your shoes
           G
You better hide your wallet cause I'ma take that too
      Cm         Ab
Black people… Hey


Chorus 2
      Eb
Black people, One big family
              G
With a really big bucket of KFC
      Cm              Ab
Black people(Seriously, like all of us are related)


Verse 1
        Eb
I ran into an old amigo named Juan Luis
        G
The Mexican called me "Apple" cause we both hang from trees
     Cm
Now I, I kinda took that in a joking way
           Ab
But was he talking 'bout monkeys or the KKK?


Verse 2
         Eb
We don't get sunburnt, just ashy knees
       G
And we don't chew tobacco but we will smoke weed
Cm
Puff, puff, pass like the train that could,
       Ab
And we can't spell "neighbor," so we call it "the hood"


Verse 3
    Eb
And most of us will die with our finger on the trigger
  G
I guess that's why they say I'm just a filthy little spear chucking, chicken eating, melon sucking, lone fetus, weed smoking, long penis
N.C.
well, you get the picture
     Cm
They tried to keep us out the White House again
              Ab
But just like all white houses, one of us broke in.


Verse 4
    Eb
And welfare and diapers is all we got
             G
If you don't wear my favorite color then you might get shot
N.C.
(My favorite color is purple, by the way)
  Cm
A black woman came to me to bash my song
             Ab
I told her, "All Blacks are Democrat, now prove me wrong."


Chorus 1 with Riff 2j
      Eb
Black people, I'ma steal your shoes
           G
You better hide your wallet cause I'ma take that too
      Cm         Ab
Black people… Hey


Chorus 2 with Riff 1
      Eb
Black people, One big family
              G
With a really big bucket of KFC
      Cm                                  Ab
Black people(And it doesn't have to be KFC, we like Popeye's biscuits too)
      

Pre Verse
         Eb
Hey, Hey
         G
What's a black song without any rap in it, right?
            Cm
Yo, Check It, Unh, Yo, Yo, Yo
Ab
  It always starts off that way, right? Yo!


Rap Verses
               Eb
Now, there's a line between discriminating and not in different places
    G
You are if you use the N-word, but if you're black then you're not racist,
      Cm
I mean, well, I guess you can, just not around your black friends,
           Ab
You'll get jumped by every cousin, including the one behind that trash can,

   Eb
Now, let me tell you a story, back before America was stolen,
           G
There were two tribes of black people, the Indians and the Po' Ones,
    Cm
The Indians were like caramel, the Po One's were like sharpies,
  Ab
I guess that's why they call them Pilgrims, and why they call us Darkies.

    Eb
The Indians had all the horses, land, turkeys, the geniuses
    G
The Po One's killed their horses, took their hair and their penises,
      Cm
But uh, there's not really a moral to this story though,
            Ab
Except that we will steal your goodies, and that is how the story goes.


Chorus 1 with Riff 2
      Eb
Black people, I'ma steal your shoes

Black people… Hey

      Eb

Black people


Chorus 3 with Riff 2
      Eb
Black People, since '72,
      G
Going broke making cheap cars taller than you
      Cm
Black people
        Ab
Ok, you gotta admit, we do have some nice rims though, right?


Chorus 4 with Riff 1
      Eb
Black people, Front Porch monkey
       G
With a blunt and a banana, "Ooo Aaa, Eee-eee!"
      Cm

Ab
  Sholl' Iz! Hey, Hey!


Outro
Eb                                                G
  This is probably the most racist song I've ever written
                                     Cm
But if you laughed, you're racist too. So I don't feel so bad
       Ab
Besides, it's not racist if I'm black
