The Useful Negro: Volume II

Detroit is an embattled city
Very little money in the kitty
Bishop Wayne Johnson
He tried to con some
But didn't fool me little bitty

But Johnson is a Useful Negro
His congregation watched him grow
Don on a bad track
Bishop had his back
Gave Trump a way in, that's all we know

Trump promised Civil Rights Agenda
Don't forget he's a major offender
Marked Black Apps with a C
Hung Central Park 5 effigy
In church he is just a pretender

Bishop helped Don clean his image
While large crowds outside just grimaced
They saw the hustle
Trump used his muscle
Pushed through like a football scrimmage

Don helped Bishop reach a new audience
Well, that was his song and dance
We're not all dumb stumps
It's all about Trump
He dumps you after short romance

Johnson got his fifteen minutes
That's usually the maximum limit
Want more? I'll be truthful
Be strong and be useful
Won't help to eat Popeye's spinach

Hate seeing Bishop get used
He's really being dry-screwed
Don laid out econ plan
We all expect sham
Just wait till he drops other shoe

But Trump is useful to the Bishop
It may look like a 7-10 pickup
Raised Johnson's profile
Now he's known past 8 Mile
This bump may be more than a hiccup

Bishop's the one who wants to come up
Haters want him to take his lumps
He seems to revel
A deal with the devil
Hope dude doesn't fall on his rump
