Ladies and gentlemen, it will be the greatest pleasure that I present... NiggyTardust
[Saul Williams:] ... NiggyTardust: Grippo King, philosopher, and artist Downright to the marrow, he's the arrow through the heartless Sunlight in the afternoon, his shadow travels furthest Woven through the heart of doom, he's bursting through the surface Hardly nervous, suffice to say, he understands his purpose: Threshold King of everything, a comical absurdist Sometimes when he talks he sings, yet keeps his high notes wordless Sing along when Niggy sings Without you he'd be worthless, homeless, Earth-less Venus Hottentot, up in the circus Freak show here him speak so properly, 'cause every word is measured against meaning Probably scheming to unlearn us Don't you call him by his name! White people call him 'Curtis'
[Chorus: Saul Williams] When I say Niggy, you say nothing... Niggy. Niggy When I say Niggy, you say nothing Niggy. ("Nothing! "). Shut up When I say Niggy, you say nothing... Niggy. Niggy When I say Niggy, you say nothing Niggy. ("Nothing! "). Shut up
[Saul Williams:] "Put your mama on the phone" You can't say that, girl, Niggy's grown What your daddy gonna do? He can't deny what he knows true What the preacher gonna say? Preacher can't shit, girl, the preacher gay What your granny gonna do? She can't deny the truth Hey! NiggyTardust, here to stay! Paint him on your lunchbox or your thermos, for a fee You might win the chance to hang with Niggy for a day! Side effects may include simply doing what you say Hey! NiggyTardust, no guitar Ghetto Gothic millionaire A super-duper star! Side effects may include simply being who you are You are yourself, my darling dear, and where never niggar
[Chorus: Saul Williams] When I say Niggy, you say nothing... Niggy. Niggy When I say Niggy, you say nothing Niggy. ("Nothing! "). Shut up When I say Niggy, you say nothing... Niggy. Niggy When I say Niggy, you say nothing Niggy. ("Nothing! "). Shut up
[Saul Williams:] So what y'all niggas wanna do? I'm standing at the Pearly Gates so you can run and get your crew I'm knockin once then I'm bustin' through, with some gold Diadoras and a shirt that reads, "Do unto who? " What y'all niggas wanna do? Elevate the race or love these other motherfucker's too? The choice is yours, which means it's up to you But how can I love myself if I can't love you? ... NiggyTardust... NiggyTardust
