Whitey on the moon

A real prototype rap song dating back to 1969 reveals the truth about how the hard working underclass of America's sixties funded the entire NASA Apollo project, to their own detriment. Not fair! says the song, we paid for it all and whitey got the kudos. Apparently the underclass is still paying for it up to this day. Read the lyrics and ask yourself, what has changed in 40 years?



A rat done bit my sister Nell
with whitey on the moon
her face and arms began to swell
and whitey is on the moon
I can't pay no doctor bills
but whitey is on the moon
ten years from now I'll be payin' still
with whitey on the moon ya know?
the man just upped my rent last night
cause whitey is on the moon
no hot water, no toilets, no lights
but whitey is on the moon
I wonder why he's uppin' me? cause whitey is on the moon
well I was givin' him 50 dollars a week
and now whitey is on the moon

Taxes takin' my check
the junkies make me a nervous wreck
the price of food is goin' up and as if all that crap wasn't enough a rat done bit my sister Nell with whitey on the moon her face and arms began to swell with whitey on the moon with all that money I made last year put whitey on the moon how come I aint got no money here? Hmmm whitey on the moon ya know I just about had my fill of whitey on the moon
I think I'll send these bills air mail special to whitey on the moon
