  • is she racist cuz my sister assumes she is cuz she says nigger

    

  • @Timmygogrr She isn't a racist. The use of the n word is a reference to a song by John Lennon called "Woman is the Nigger of the world". (He wasn't a racist either.) Google the lyrics of that song and you'll understand what it means.

  • These lyrics are so spot on!  Man she should be famous!

  • @jakiner Her music is too smart for the masses. Let the knowing few enjoy her.

  • Love it but it does rip off John Lennon's line, Woman is the Nigger of the World.

  • @GloriaWa

    That's not a "rip off", it's a reference or an homage. It wasn't intended to be thought of as an original line.

  • Wow!

    

  • Don't forget that Yoko One first made the statement and John and she wrote the song together.

    She never gets the credit she deserves.

  • Love it and yes the people who are just looking to troll or fight about something are going to take this and blow it into something it isn't. Use your head and think hard for a minute on the BRIGHT SIDE instead of "OMG SHE SAID A BAD WORD" or negative junk. She's making a good damn point.

  • She reminds me of Peggy Lee

  • This music wouldn't be playable on any radio format really. Except like college or underground.

  • Just goes to show you how incredibly dumb the masses are. This genius of a woman is relatively unknown, even though her music is some of the greatest music in the last decade. Yet someone as talentless as beiber or perry gets all the money.

  • 2 people want to be in the in crowd.

  • what is this song about cuz my dumb ass sister is saying shes racist cuz the line "the woman is the nigger of the world"
