Next time someone passes you on the street
don’t let them say hi, make them say hello.
What happened in this country where a fella
can’t even get a full hello anymore?
That’s like letting the cashier short change you on change.
And some things we just can’t stand for!
I remember back when hi was just a buzz word.
Some ebonic slang that would phase out
just like MTV and the internet.
Man was I wrong.
Who would of thought that two little letters could
corrupt our children, divorce our families,
and almost bring down an entire civilization?
But this is the land of the free, damit!
Home of apple pie, baseball,
country music, and the Kool-Aid man.
We’ve fought for gas and much less trivial things.
So why stop when the enemy is saying hi right in our face?
What this nation needs is a return to morals.
Back to when grandmas still pinched your cheeks,
little boys still read their sister’s dairies,
and every Sunday the family would get together
to watch Daddy barbecue.
Yeah, that is exactly what this nation needs.
Now tell me,
can you smell it?
Can you smell that hello in the air?
Ah, taste like chicken.
