Nine Funky Dollars
Slave hair, evil eye stare, ankle bracelet
On the job for a check another job
Just to keep it coons, confederate
Descendants indigenous disingenuous
Team work all work no smiles the s.o.b.
Kicked the rack back on my shin raised
Hell oh well white man fired me
Even threatened to call twelve with his
Cell stood on retail floor and displayed
A mannequin adorned in hidden reasons
You no longer welcome here unemployed
Male supremacy attempted to humiliate
Stood there feeling self gratification of
Choked out chicken needless to mention
You just fired a hardworking, woman willing
Ready, able, capable of making nine funky
Dollars an hour
