Here are the lyrics:

Read a book, read a book, read a motherf**kin’ book (pronounced mah f**kin' book in street fashion)

r-e-a-d-a-b-o–o-k

Not a sports page, not a magazine, but a book n****r, a f**kin’ book n****r

Read a book, read a book, read a motherf**kin’ book

r-e-a-d-a-b-o-o-k

Raise yo kids, raise yo kids, raise yo goddamn kids

Yo body needs water, so drink that s**t

Buy some land, buy some land, what, f**k spinning rims

Brush yo teeth, brush yo teeth, brush yo goddamn teeth

Wear deodorant n****r, wear deodorant n****r

It’s called Speedstick, it’s not expensive

Read a book, read a book, read a motherf**kin’ book

r-e-a-d-a-b-o–o-k

Please tell me this is a parody! Where did you find it 2many?

I forget, it was some blog.

That is the question. Do they really mean this?
Some are saying it's a joke, others are saying it isn't. In any case, it isn't the best thing to show.

B.E.T. is running supposedly, I don't have cable/satellite can someone confirm that it is running?

Edit:


states the song was released as a satire. That makes sense. It seems like one of those novelty songs.

I'm relieved to hear it's a parody. To me though, it's still a sad commentary on what we're becoming as a whole society.

Nice find.

that baby had a beard

Interesting video, unfortunately it's a dupe.

They did play this video on bet uncut for a lil bit. D Mite is a real rapper.

I like it because it's one rap song that my girlfriend said she can listen to.

It's gotta be good if she likes it!!

I didn't find that, but since it is 30+ days old, it isn't really a dupe.
