(Ladies and gentlemen, it will be the greatest pleasure that I present NiggyTardust)

NiggyTardust
Grippo king, philosopher, and artist
Downright to the marrow
He's the arrow through the heartless
Sunlight in the afternoon
His shadow travels furthest
Woven through the heart of doom
He's bursting through the surface
Hardly nervous, suffice to say
He understands his purpose
Threshold King of everything
A comical absurdist
Sometimes when he talks he sings
Yet keeps his high notes wordless
Sing along when Niggy sings
Without you he'd be worthless
Homeless, Earthless
Venus Hottentot, up in the circus
Freak show here him speak so
Properly, 'cause every word is
Measured against meaning
Probably scheming to unlearn us
Don't you call him by his name
White people call him Curtis

When I say Niggy, you say nothing
Niggy
Niggy
When I say Niggy, you say nothing
Niggy
(Nothing!)
Shut up

When I say Niggy, you say nothing
Niggy
Niggy
When I say Niggy, you say nothing
Niggy
(Nothing!)
Shut up

"Put your mama on the phone."
You can't say that, girl, Niggy's grown
What your daddy gonna do?
He can't deny what he know true
What the preacher gonna say?
Preacher can't say shit, girl, the preacher gay
What your granny gonna do?
She can't deny the truth
Hey, NiggyTardust, here to stay
Paint him on your lunchbox or your thermos for a fee
You might win the chance to hang with Niggy for a day
Side effects may include simply doing what you say
Hey, NiggyTardust, no guitar
Ghetto Gothic millionaire
A super-duper star
Side effects may include simply being who you are
You are yourself, my darling dear, and were never a niggar

When I say Niggy, you say nothing
Niggy
Niggy
When I say Niggy, you say nothing
Niggy
(Nothing!)
Shut up

When I say Niggy, you say nothing
Niggy
Niggy
When I say Niggy, you say nothing
Niggy
(Nothing!)
Shut up

So what ya niggas wanna do?
I'm standing at the Pearly Gates so you can run and get your crew
I'm knockin once then I'm bustin' through
With some gold Diadoras and a shirt that reads, "Do unto who?"
What ya niggas wanna do?
Elevate the race or love these other motherfuckers too?
The choice is yours, which means it's up to you
But how can I love myself if I can't love you?
