I wrote this novel just for you
It sounds pretentious
But it's true
I wrote this novel just for you
That's why it's vulgar
That's why it's blue

And I say
Thank you

I wrote this novel just for Mom
For all the mommy things she's done
For all the times she showed me wrong
For all the time she sang God's song

And I say
Thank-you Mom
Hello Mom
Thank-you Mom
Hi Mom

I read a book about Uncle Tom 
Where a whitey bastard made a bomb
But now Ebonics rule our song
Those motherfuckers got it wrong

And I ask
Who is Uncle Tom ?
You are

I read a book about the self
Said I should get expensive help
Go fix my head
Create some wealth
Put my neurosis on the shelf
But I don't care for myself
I don't care

I wrote this novel just for you
I'm so pretentious
Yes it's true
I wrote this novel just for you
Just for you
