Hello, I'm Johnny Rebel For a long time we've listened to these n_____s, pitch a fit. About their hard times and civil rights. Well, ain't that the pits? So I think I'll take me on an imaginary trip and try to be a n_____ for a day.

If I could be a n_____ for a day
I could live my life the free and easy way
I'd take from Uncle Sam and let the white man pay
If I could be a n_____ for a day

Now if one whole day a n_____ I could be
The first thing I'd do is join the NAACP
And I'd let Kweisi Mfume do my thinking for me
If I could be a n_____ for a day

Now I wouldn't go to work cause I wouldn't have to
Guess what I'd do next, you shouldn't need a clue
I'd go down to social services like all the brothers do
If I could be a n_____ for a day

Oh if I could be a n_____ for a day
I could live my life the free and easy way
I'd take from Uncle Sam and let the white man pay
If I could be a n_____ for a day

Now when I'd sit down in that office, the office of welfare
I'd get food stamps, a medical card and free child care
For all the illegitime kids that I've got scattered everywhere
If I could be a n_____ for a day

Now I'd have plenty of time so I'd hang out with the mob
And I'd consume a little dope, find a good place to rob
Now that would make me self employed and I wouldn't even need a job
If I could be a n_____ for a day

Oh if I could be a n_____ for a day
I could live my life the free and easy way
I'd take from Uncle Sam and let the white man pay
If I could be a n_____ for a day

And when I'd need something I'd steal it so I wouldn't have to buy it
And if the cops would apprehend me, you know that I'd deny it
And I could call Jesse or Al, they'd come to start a riot
If I could be a n_____ for a day

But I can't be a n_____ and I don't really have to be
Cause c___, let me tell you, it's plain and simple to see
That if I was you for a day then I'd be taking from me
So I don't wanna be a n_____ for day

I don't wanna be a n_____ for a day
I don't wanna live the free and easy way
I'll struggle long and struggle hard but that's okay
Cause I'll never be a n_____ for a day

No I'll never be a n_____ for a day
