Run, Nigger

I understand that time is running out.\nI understand that time, is running out…\nI understand that time is running out, I understand that time is running out.\nRunning out as hastily as niggers run from the Man.\nTime is running out, on our natural habits\nTime is running out, on lifeless serpents reigning over a living kingdom\nTime is running out of talks, marches, tunes, chants, and all kinds of prayers\nTime, is running out of time\nHeard someone say, «Things were chaaaaaanging» (Changing — things are changing!)\nChange, CHAN-CHAN-CHAN-CHANGINNNNNG… from brown to black\nTime is running out on bullshit changes\nRunning out like a bushfire in a dry forest\nLike a murder from the scene of a crime\nLike a little roach from DDT\nRunning out like big niggers, running a football field — RUN NIGGER!\nScrewing your woman (RUN NIGGERS!)\nWhooping your ass (RUN NIGGERS!)\nStealing your culture (RUN NIGGERS!)\nTaking your life (RUN NIGGERS!)\nKilling your children (RUN NIGGERS!)\nRUN NIGGER! — RUN like you run, when the liquor store’s closing at Saturday\nnight\nRun nigger, cause time is running\nRun like time never yielding or forgiving\nMoving forward, in a direct pattern of percussive movement\nNever warning or relinquinshing\nTime, is running running running RUNNING RUNNING RUNNING
