Man, Ernest Boy - Oscar Brown Jr.

Written by：Oscar Brown Jr.

Oh man

Ernest boy you are into somethin' now

Uhh uhh uhh

And I'm been tellin' folks ah he is nowhere

Do you really have me in your trick bag wow

You almost got me thinkin' I'm the square

Your makin' all the money all the broads

Your copter car your closet's full of clothes

Man you pullin' off the sweetest of all the fraud

You sure had me fooled with those righteous pose

Man ernest boy you after my own heart

While you drop that city nonsense just like that

Abandon ship deserted it got smart mhmm

And showed the world you know just what's happenin'

The trouble with most colored people is

We just don't know how to grab things for ourself

We let this white man claim the world as it's his

And then sell us high price pieces off his ship

Man ernest boy you get yourself some cash

And go get integrated in some banks

And never mind these church folks talkin' trash

When they say 'wait for heaven' say no thanks

Don't preach to me just pay me what I'm worth yeah

And then put your money in some real estate

Get your reward while you wait here on earth

And if there is a heaven let it wait

Folks yell and sell out 'cause you gettin' rich heh

Can't stand a brother get a hit

They call you Uncle Tom now that's a switch heh

But you pay no mind to all that's been said

Forget them porsheir those coppers don't imply

Sit in fit in get in best way thy can

'Cause

Ernest boy you into somethin' now mhhmmm

Me I'm glad to see you winnin' man
