[Verse 1]
They used to call him n***a boy when he was but a tike
So he grew up to be an angry young man
They said: "Run now, n***a boy!"
At football games in high school
He grew up to be an angry young man
If they'd called him a brother or a neighbor or a cousin
Then the world would be less one angry young man
But they called him little n***a boy when he was but a tike
So he grew up to be an angry young man

[Verse 2]
They called him little white trash when he went down to schoolyard
He grew up to be an ignorant man
They said: "Hey little white trash, you ain't got no shoes on!"
He grew up to be an ignorant man
If they'd called him a brother or a neighbor or a cousin
Then the world would be less one ignorant man
But they called him little white trash when he went down the school yard
So he grew up to be an ignorant man

[Chorus]
A ding dang (A ding dang), hey ho (Hey ho)
A ding dang (A ding dang), hey ho (Hey ho)
A ding dang (A ding dang), hey ho (Hey ho)
No matter where you are, there you go
[Verse 3]
They called Michael a liar when he was but a tike
So he grew up to be an incarcerated man
They said: "Hey little liar, we gonna fill your mouth with dish soap!"
He grew up to be an incarcerated man
If they'd called him a brother or a neighbor or a cousin
Then the world would be less one incarcerated man
But they called Michael a liar when he was but a tike
So he grew up to be an incarcerated man

[Chorus]
A ding dang (A ding dang), hey ho (Hey ho)
A ding dang (A ding dang), hey ho (Hey ho)
A ding dang (A ding dang), hey ho (Hey ho)
No matter where you are, there you go

[Instrumental Break/Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
They used to call him faggot 'cause they didn't like his hairstyle
He grew up to be a bitter young man
They said: "Hey little faggot, we're gonna get your ass in dodgeball!"
He grew up to be a bitter young man
If they'd called him a brother or a neighbor or a cousin
Then the world would be less one bitter young man
But they called him little faggot 'cause they didn't like his hairstyle
So he grew up to be a bitter young man
[Chorus]
A ding dang (A ding dang), hey ho (Hey ho)
A ding dang (A ding dang), hey ho (Hey ho)
A ding dang (A ding dang), hey ho (Hey ho)
No matter where you are, there you go
A ding dang (A ding dang), hey ho (Hey ho)
A ding dang (A ding dang), hey ho (Hey ho)
A ding dang (A ding dang), hey ho (Hey ho)
No matter where you are, there you go
