Affirmative action,
what's this country coming to?
Affirmative action,
what's the white man gonna do?
It's another government handout and simply said
"You've got to hire a nigger instead"

I was down at the office, cleaning up the joint
Just doing a little extra, making brownie points
Cause I'd heard somebody say,
a promotion's on the line
So I was working hard, I wa.nted that promotion to be mine

So I asked the CEO if I could have a try
He said "you work hard, son and I know you qualify.
You're the best man for the job but it's out of my hands
I've got to give it to a nigger, courtesy of Uncle Sam"

Oh affirmative action,
what's this country coming to?
Affirmative action,
what's the white man gonna do?
It's another government handout and simply said
"You've got to hire a nigger instead."

Now I went looking for a new job the very next day.
I got an interview and things were surely going my way..
I was asked a lot of questions,
I was giving it my best
My qualifications were impeccable,
I could tell he was impressed

Then a nigger walked in and said
"yo, what's up
You need a man, well here I be. Say bro, you're in luck"
The bossman looked at me and said "what can I do?
Uncle Sam says I've got to hire the nigger instead of you"

Oh affirmative action,
what's this country coming to?
Affirmative action,
what's the white man gonna do?
It's another government handout and simply said
"You've got to hire the nigger instead"

Now we've gotta stop what's happening to you and me.
The feds have got to listen
and I'm sure you'll agree
We need to get their attention
and make them understand
I've been thinking about it lately
and I got a plan..

Oh let's act like a bunch of niggers and go out in the street.
And demonstrate
and raise some hell
to everyone we meet
We'll stop taking all this crap that we have in the past.
And tell Uncle Sam to stick the affirmative action up his ass.

So affirmative action,
what's this country coming to?
Affirmative action,
what's the white man gonna do?
It's another government handout and simply said
"You've got to hire a nigger instead"

Oh it's another government handout and simply said
"You've got to hire a nigger instead"
