The Useful Negro: Volume IV (OJ Simpson)

OJ show got the Emmy sweep
Likely made the real Juice weep
Still exploiting his butt
Hard lesson about trust
Be careful of the friends that you keep

But now OJ is a Useful Negro
Used to be a football hero
Ran through airports
Hung out in resorts
Now his credibility is zero

Orenthal J. earned Black spite
He chose to side with Whites 
Didn't need us
Threw us under the bus
But came back after that fateful night

Wife Marguerite was Ride Or Die
OJ cheated, she gave him a bye
His life turned to crap
She still had his back
Had every reason to just let him fry

Our Useful Negro filled stadium seats
Hawked products. Nothing out of reach
Good looking - had swag
Squeezed him like a dishrag
Sucked him dry, not unlike a leech

Back to our Useful Negro, OJ
Whites determined to make him pay
1st time - got a pass 
2nd time - nailed his ass 
Would not sleep till they found a way
