Burning Thumbs Songtext
von David Banner

Send some love to every black American
Black people in the United States

My gal don′t wanna be a bitch no more
I don't wanna be a nigga sick of drinking
I just wanna get my money right
I don′t wanna pop no mollies
I don't wanna kill nobody
Kids dying up in Chi-Town
If you feel me put your lighters up
Until you burn your damn thumb
Until you burn your damn thumb

Miss Obama tell your husband that we heard him
He promised change but it hasn't ma′am I′m certain
These streets are killing fields
Our kids are popping pills
You can't blame ′em hot damn it in the club
They just trying to run away from pain
What if God already came and we missed the damn boat
Ask Katrina black folks don't float so well


And I guess that time′s gon' tell
They say I′m selfish rap records don't sell
No more

These are the tales of my burning thumb

These are the tales of my burning thumb

My gal don't wanna be a bitch no more
I don′t wanna be a nigga sick of drinking
I just wanna get my money right
I don′t wanna pop no mollies
I don't wanna kill nobody
Kids dying up in Chi-Town
If you feel me put your lighters up
Until you burn your damn thumb
Until you burn your damn thumb

Trayvon, Jordan Davis didn′t make it
Lord save us they enslavers free labor
We didn't ask to come here


It′s so hard I'm praying on my knees
That I won′t just disappear
On the soul of some dead slaves
I never pledged to your damn flag
This is the best sex I ever had
Cause black folks get fucked over
And over and over
I'm so sober and I'm clear
Lord I wanna hear everything that you saying
I ain′t playing these some burning thumbs

My gal don′t wanna be a bitch no more
I don't wanna be a nigga sick of drinking
I just wanna get my money right

I don′t wanna pop no mollies
I don't wanna kill nobody
Kids dying up in Chi-Town
If you feel me put your lighters up
Until you burn your damn thumb
Until you burn your damn thumb

My gal don′t wanna be a bitch no more
I don't wanna be a nigga sick of drinking
I just wanna get my money right

I don′t wanna pop no mollies
I don't wanna kill nobody
Kids dying up in Chi-Town

If you feel me put your lighters up
Until you burn your damn thumb
Until you burn your damn thumb

What do you feel about it?
What do you feel about it?
What do you feel about it?
It's a blow to have black people in the United States of America
Black, black
