Affirmative action
What's this country coming to?
Affirmative action
What's the white man gonna do?
It's another government handout and simply said
"you've got to hire a nigger instead"

I was down at the office, cleaning up the joint
Just doing a little extra, making brownie points
Cause i'd heard somebody say
A promotion's on the line
So i was working hard, i wanted that promotion to be mine

So i asked the ceo if i could have a try
He said "you work hard, son and i know you qualify
You're the best man for the job but it's out of my hands
I've got to give it to a nigger, courtesy of uncle sam"

Oh affirmative action
What's this country coming to?
Affirmative action
What's the white man gonna do?
It's another government handout and simply said
"you've got to hire a nigger instead."

Now i went looking for a new job the very next day
I got an interview and things were surely going my way
I was asked a lot of questions
I was giving it my best
My qualifications were impeccable
I could tell he was impressed

Then a nigger walked in and said
"yo, what's up
You need a man, well here i be. say bro, you're in luck"
The bossman looked at me and said "what can i do?
Uncle sam says i've got to hire the nigger instead of you"

Oh affirmative action
What's this country coming to?
Affirmative action
What's the white man gonna do?
It's another government handout and simply said
"you've got to hire the nigger instead"

Now we've gotta stop what's happening to you and me
The feds have got to listen
And i'm sure you'll agree
We need to get their attention
And make them understand
I've been thinking about it lately
And i got a plan

Oh let's act like a bunch of niggers and go out in the street
And demonstrate
And raise some hell
To everyone we meet
We'll stop taking all this crap that we have in the past
And tell uncle sam to stick the affirmative action up his ass

So affirmative action
What's this country coming to?
Affirmative action
What's the white man gonna do?
It's another government handout and simply said
"you've got to hire a nigger instead"

Oh it's another government handout and simply said
"you've got to hire a nigger instead"
