Harry Truman Lyrics
what the - what the - what the - ow
smoke my guns - i kill your peoples
i said "i'll do it sir"
smoke my crack - i kill your babies
he said "i'll do it sir"
every single day i got the white man working for me

every single day i got the white man working for me
harry truman
shuffle the deck for me baby
shuffle the deck for me man
am i crazy - am i crazy - totally insane
1-900... ain't what you call for me baby

This song is the bomb! Ehhh get it? BOMB AHAHAHA I'll be going now.
i......love......this.....song
everytime I have this song on "pump up the volume mode" in my car I anxiously wait for "every single day i got the white man working for me, harry truman" part cuz with black folk around me I feel a little unnerved. thank you, for giving me the chance to appear try being black without wearing lugs and wearing sean john clothing.
MSI fuckin kick ass!! ya gotta love everyone of their songs
One of my favorite songs....harry truman was president during the end of WW2 and beginning of Korea.
This song flips history on its head.....Harry Truman is the artist's b-tch, doing what he wants.
haha yeah awesome song love mindless self indulgence each and every one of their songs and i love you jimmy
I believe this song is meant to be racist. The verses are made up of black stereotypes, and the chorus' "Every single day I've got the white man working for me" line might refer to affirmative action giving minorities an unfair advantage in the workforce. Also, Harry Truman strongly supported civil rights and affirmative action, which would relate him to this idea.
yeh i never really thought about the meaning of this song but kickerofelves interpretation sounds possible. This is definietly one of my favorite MSI songs...right up there with "kill the rock"
to correct the lyrics just a tad..its I said to do it sir..smoke my crack, i kill your babies he said to do it sir..not i said "i'll do it sir" smoke my crack - i kill your babies he said "i'll do it sir"
I think this song is definitely about race but not necessarily in a racist way against black people. black people are not given an unfair advantage, anyways.
i love this song.
