I’m not gonna kick a man
When he’s down
And yeah, Bill Cosby covered
A lot of ground
See once he was America’s
Favorite clown
But he’s guilty of poor judgement
And that wasn’t sound

We can’t take away
The history that he made
And because of him
The Eddie Murphys got to get paid
See, America’s dad
Was just a role he played
But now he’s incarcerated
For the helpless woman he slayed

Some will even tell ya
That you shouldn’t make fun
Of the disgraced comedian
In light of all that he’s done
But incapacitating women
Has him under the gun
And the best disinfectant
Is the light of the sun

Some have clapped back
Because he proselytized
To the young black men
He often criticized
Acting like a paragon
Or, the all-wise
Turning out to be someone
That we should despise
