Chorus
- Barack the Magic Negro lives in D.C.
- The L.A. Times, they called him that
- Cause he’s not authentic like me.
- Yeah, the guy from the L.A. paper
- Said he makes guilty whites feel good
- They’ll vote for him, and not for me
- Cause he’s not from the hood.Conservative Culture: Drive By Media Matters - “Magic Negro” and Secret Service (May 8, 2007)
