Where bubba grew up kept his tobacco chewed up[00:00:02]
And when they used to hang ropes they always kep two up[00:00:06]
Had crosses burnin all night like the church blew up[00:00:09]
And if you didn't look like them they would f**k you up[00:00:15]
Time passed and bubba turned 40 years old[00:00:17]
And all them jack daniels started taking a toll[00:00:19]
Seem like bubba was about to make a final bow[00:00:23]
None of his friends from the clan couldn't help him now[00:00:27]
Family gathered at his bedside ready to sing the blues[00:00:30]
When the doctor rushed in and said I've got some news[00:00:34]
The good news is bubba I've found you a liver only bad news is it belongs to a nigger[00:00:38]
Do you still care about the texture of his hair or the cocoa brown colour of his skin[00:00:46]
Do you still care do you still give a d**n now you're in the predicament you're in[00:00:51]
Do you still care does it still mean a lot now[00:01:02]
You're the one who's needin the help[00:01:06]
Do you still care do you still find it hard to love your neighbour as you love yourself now[00:01:08]
Tell me why can't you accept me as I am[00:01:13]
Just as I am now[00:01:16]
Where bigga grew up boys were supposed to be tough[00:01:17]
Girls were trophies every man always kept a few of[00:01:21]
When he was hurt and the tears would sting in his eyes[00:01:25]
His mother said stop di noise yuh a girl real boys don't cry[00:01:29]
He learned in order to be a man he had to know how to fight[00:01:34]
And had some very difinitive rules bout whats wrong or right[00:01:39]
He never had the luxury of being able to choose[00:01:42]
So to him for being different there was no excuse[00:01:46]
Bigga was hustling on the corner makin some cash[00:01:50]
When he bumped into some beef that he had from the past[00:01:54]
He watched the guns raise and the bullets fly in disbelief[00:01:59]
As his friends all jumped in their rides[00:02:04]
Left him in the gutter didn't care if he died[00:02:06]
He was rescued by a car with plates that said 'gay pride'[00:02:09]
It would have been fatal[00:02:13]
A shot in your head[00:02:14]
They saved your life though you always said chi chi fi dead[00:02:16]
Now do you care bout the clothes that they wear[00:02:18]
Would you rather if they left you there[00:02:21]
Do you still care what your friends wanna think if they see you hangin out with a queer[00:02:23]
Do you still care does it still mean a lot now you're the one who's needin the help[00:02:30]
Do you still care do you still find it hard to love your neighbour as you love yourself now[00:02:34]
Tell me why can't you accept me as I am[00:02:41]
Just as I am now[00:02:44]
And that's the reason why war can't cease[00:02:45]
If yuh nuh look like me me ago pop mi piece[00:02:47]
And that's the reason why we can't get along[00:02:53]
If yuh nuh do it my way then you doin it wrong[00:02:57]
And that's the reason why iraqui babies gonna cry[00:03:04]
And more palestinians and isrealies gonna die[00:03:07]
That's the reason why the world is in pain[00:03:08]
We say we want peace fi reign but a bullets again[00:03:10]
Now tell me why can't you accept me as I am[00:03:13]
Just the way I am now[00:03:17]
Tell me why can't you accept me as I am[00:03:18]
Just the way I am woah[00:03:22]
