Rant Rushmore
Fantastic Negrito Lyrics
Most of my fear, is sittin' right here withcu for the rest of my life
All this pain came from the games that your mama
And your daddy played and abuse
So you try to get away try to break free from the twenty first century
Slave ship drama mmmm
And therefore dreams it seems tied to a bitter scene
I'm eating gold macaronI for dinner
I'm a lifelong sinner
Amen, Amen
I could be that change coming
Still feel that change coming
Yeah she my cancer now that we're really dancing
Yeah she my cancer then I know we taking chances
Yeah she my cancer then I know we're really dancing
Yeah she my cancer
Most of my guilt all of my tears flow like a river
'Cause I failed and I couldn't deliver
I said fuck the whole world I'm a little girl
I'm a little girl I'm a big black dog I'm a killer
All over the place
I'm trying to rehabilitate
From the self hate from the self rape
I begin for you mother (oh life)
Got down on my knees pray it out without shame
For all the things I did wrong (oh!)
Yeah
Amen, Amen
Amen
I could be that change coming
Still feel that change coming
Yeah she my cancer now that we're really dancing
Yeah she my cancer then I know we taking chances
Yeah she my cancer then I know we're really dancing
Yeah she my cancer
Oh oh Amen
Amen, Amen
Amen
I could be that change coming
Yeah she my cancer then I know we're really dancing
Yeah she my cancer then I know we taking chances

Negrito made a record deal with Prince's former manager, and later, in 1993, made another deal, this one with Interscope Records. On January 9, 1996, he released his first album, The X Factor, under the mononym Xavier. The album was released on Lexington House Records and distributed by Interscope. He was in a near-fatal car crash in 1999, which left him in a coma for three weeks; he has since said that he felt that this crash "released" him because Interscope terminated their contract with him, after which he resumed hustling. In 2007, he stopped making music, but he returned in 2014, describing his new musical style as "black roots music for everyone". In 2015, he won NPR's Tiny Desk Contest. In 2016, his album The Last Days of Oakland was released on the Blackball Universe label. Negrito won his first Grammy in 2017, when The Last Days of Oakland received the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album.

[Verse 1]
Most of my fear is sittin right here with you, for the rest of my life
All of this pain, all this came from the games
That the mommas and daddies played and abused
So I'm trying to get away, try to break free from the twenty first century
Slaveship drama mmmm
And the beautiful dreams it seems has died to a bitter scene
I'm eating cold macaroni for dinner
I'm a lifelong sinner
[Pre-Chorus]
Amen, Amen
Amen, Amen
I can feel that change coming
[Chorus]
Bitch eat my cancer then I know we’re really dancing
Bitch eat my cancer then I know we're taking chances
Bitch eat my cancer then I know we’re really dancing
Bitch eat my cancer
[Verse 2]
Most of my guilt and all of my tears flow like a river
'Cause I failed and I couldn’t deliver
That's when I started to shiver
I said fuck the whole world I'm a little girl
I'm a little girl, I'm a big black dog, I'm a killer
I'm all over the place
I'm trying to rehabilitate
From the self hate from the self-rape
I forgive you mother (ohh life)
Lord, I'm down on my knees praying I feel the shame
For all the things I've done wrong (ohhh!)
[Pre-Chorus]
Amen, Amen
Amen, Amen
I can feel that change coming
I still feel that change coming
[Chorus]
Bitch eat my cancer then I know we’re really dancing
Bitch eat my cancer then I know we're taking chances
Bitch eat my cancer then I know we’re really dancing
Bitch eat my cancer
[Outro]
Amen, Amen
Amen, Amen
I can feel that change coming
Bitch eat my cancer then I know we’re really dancing
Bitch eat my cancer then I know we're taking chances
I like to think, 3 years later, this will still be of some use? :)

Literally some of the best music I've ever heard and it's past the 2000s dropoff point where I normally don't care for music.

The change was in you brother not the music, there has always been great music.
