[Verse 1]
I hit him with a piece of his philosophy
Anglo-Saxon muck in his type of greed
What did he do to deserve such hate?
He tried to intellectualise my blackness
[Pre-Chorus]
He tried to summarise, to institutionalise
Still I could recognise, he was materialised
[Chorus]
He tried to intellectualise my blackness
To make it easier for his whiteness
He tried to intellectualise my blackness, ooh, save me
Save me
[Verse 2]
He's always tryin' to make up for his little slips
The joke about the nigga and the yellow nip
Then he tells me "I'm so different from those other shits"
When he tries to intellectualise my blackness
[Pre-Chorus]
He tried to summarise, to institutionalise
Still I could recognise, he was materialised
[Chorus]
He tried to intellectualise my blackness
To make it easier for his whiteness
He tried to intellectualise my blackness, ooh, save me
Save me
[Breakdown]
Motherfucker, don't you lecturise me
(Yeah) Don't you ever try to lecturise me
Motherfucker, don't you lecturise me
(Oh no)
[Chorus]
He tried to intellectualise my blackness
To make it easier for his whiteness
He tried to intellectualise my blackness, oh, save me
Save me, save
He tried to intellectualise my blackness
To make it easier for his whiteness (You make it easier)
Intellectualise my blackness, oh, save me
Save me, save me
Intellectualise my blackness (Intellectualise, you better intellectualise) (Intellectualise me)
To make it easier for his whiteness (Intellectualise me, oh no) (Intellectualise me, intellectualise me)
Intellectualise my blackness, oh, save me
Save me, save me
Save me
