Affirmative action, what's this country coming to
Affirmative action, what's the white man gonna do
It's another government handout and simply said
You've got to hire a n_____ instead

I was down at the office, cleaning up the joint
Just doing a little extra, making brownie points
Cause I'd heard somebody say, a promotion's on the line
So I was working hard, I wanted that promotion to be mine

So I asked the CEO if I could have a try
He said "you work hard, son and I know you qualify
You're the best man for the job but it's out of my hands
I've got to give it to a n_____, courtesy of Uncle Sam"

Oh affirmative action, what's this country coming to
Affirmative action, what's the white man gonna do
It's another government handout and simply said
You've got to hire a n_____ instead

Now I went looking for a new job the very next day
I got an interview and things were surely going my way
I was asked a lot of questions, I was giving it my best
My qualifications were impeccable, I could tell he was impressed

Then a n_____ walked in and said "yo, what's up
You need a man, well here I be. Say bro, you're in luck"
The bossman looked at me and said "what can I do
Uncle Sam says I've got to hire the n_____ instead of you"

Oh affirmative action, what's this country coming to
Affirmative action, what's the white man gonna do
It's another government handout and simply said
You've got to hire the n_____ instead

Now we've gotta stop what's happening to you and me
The feds have got to listen and I'm sure you'll agree
We need to get their attention and make them understand
I've been thinking about it lately and I got a plan

Oh let's act like a bunch of n_____s and go out in the street
And demonstrate and raise some hell to everyone we meet
We'll stop taking all this c___ that we have in the past
And tell Uncle Sam to stick the affirmative action up his a__

So affirmative action, what's this country coming to
Affirmative action, what's the white man gonna do
It's another government handout and simply said
You've got to hire a n_____ instead

Oh it's another government handout and simply said
You've got to hire a n_____ instead
