nancy dupree - new low lyrics

[spoken word]
do we have any leaders in the house?
any leaders?
any internationally known leaders?
of course, yes, yes
do we have any nationally known leaders?
you know, we have, well, you know
leaders are very special people
and some leaders are very, very extra, extra special people
and the rest of them arе, well
this poem is about the rеst of them, see
this poem is not about the really, really nice folks
this poem is not about the leaders
who are sure enough doing what they say they’re doing
the leaders whose rap, and their rhetoric, and their deeds match up
this poem is about all those other leaders
the kinds that will lead us into the plumbing
school of school, yes
all right, to give you some idea
the name of the poem is new low
the poem say
every morning when i wake up and find that i can still see
still think, still walk, talk, and scratch my back
if my baby can still say, i love you, mommy
if my house is just like i left it when i went to bed
yo, i say, thank you, master
i promise that i will spend this day
trying to deserve my sunrise
but you know, it seems like to me
there be some folks who wake up and find the same thing i find
they can scratch their own backs
their babies is cool, and they ain’t been robbed
but instead of saying thank you
they must be saying something like this
i promise that i will spend this day
stooping to our new low
i’m known to be two+faceted and sneaky
everybody knows i don’t keep my promises
and that my word is as valuable
as what the chicken left in the chicken yard
i wear my brain between my thighs
and i want to be exactly like richard nixon when i grow up
my rhetoric comes from the temple
and my deeds come from the toilet
there’s not a woman on the face of this earth
who can give me the kind of thrill
i get from watching black folks suffer
but even with all that
i still say
i promise that i will spend this day
stooping to a new low
