Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd like to thank everyone for coming out to "The Minstrel Show" tonight, uhh
Especially our guests uhh, Elzhi of Slum Village
Don't be afraid, you can clap
Uhh, Mr. James Poyser, was here as well
Uhh I'd like to thank DJ Jazzy Jeff for popping by
I'd like to thank you at home of course
And I'd like to give a special shoutout to my baby momma Tameka
Daddy's coming home babies, your daddy's coming home
Man hahaha, I'm not gonna cry, I'm not gonna cry
Goodnight everybody, goodnight!
[YahZarah]
It's time to say goodbye to all of our friends
Our time is up and now the good times must end
We hope we made you laugh and chuckle or grin
And hopefully, one day soon, we can do it again
We'd like to welcome you to everything there is to know
This is our life, this is our music, it's our minstrel show
We'd like to welcome you to everything there is to know
This is our life, this is our music, it's our minstrel showwwww
{*ad lib singing, audience cheers*}

Y'all y'all ready for the party to be over? (Noooo)
Y'all ready to go home? (Noooo)
The Minstrel Show Closing Theme is the final song of the album, The Minstrel Show, by Little Brother, featuring Yahzarah. The song is an ode to the traditional American minstrel show, a form of entertainment that caricatured black people and their culture, often presented by white performers with blackface makeup. The song begins with the host thanking everyone for coming out to the minstrel show, including Elzhi of Slum Village, James Poyser, and DJ Jazzy Jeff. In a comedic tone, the host also gives a shoutout to his family, including his baby momma Tameka and their twin daughters.
Then, Yahzarah sings the chorus, bidding farewell to the audience and hoping that they had a good time at the "minstrel show." She acknowledges that the show may have been offensive to some, but it is their life and their music. The song ends with a new host asking the audience if they are ready for the party to be over and if they are ready to go home, to which they respond with a resounding "no."
