I want job.
What type?
A black job.
What's that?
That's what I'm trying to figure out.

Chauffeur?
Butler?
Housekeeper?
Field hand?
Where are these black jobs?
None of this fits me.
I been told I'm too qualified.

Might want a Latino job.
Carpenter, roofer, tattoos artist.
Please don't mention housekeeper

Then I might want that white job.
An executive to act like I have power.
Or supervisor.
Or computer geek.

Then I am more than qualified for simply a black job.

If they coming over the border?
They can have my black job.

Don't give me anything the white man refuse to do
