“Do you know the way to d-e-i?” (Song by GRA)

By Grand Rapids Anonymous

music by Burt Bacharach, lyrics by GRA

(Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)

Do you know the way to D-E-I?
Just take a plane that,
For...no...reason, falls, out...of... the...sky,
Do you know who is in D-E-I?
Looks like your pilot is...D-E-I—the...blackie...guy.

L.A. is a busy airport,
So is Reagan, far across the land,
In a plane, maybe you, will make it back home,
If your luck holds out—
you might go far,
That's if your plane,
Does not contain,
A pilot with the name, “Jabbar.”

(Tap tap tap)

You can always tell the D-E-Is,
They have their pilot’s caps...over..their afros...and their...eyes,
I’ve been warned about the D-E-Is,
I wear a parachute, in case, the...pilot’s...D-E-I.

Life’s a game of fortune, dammit,
All you want is for your flight to land,
In a plane,maybe you will make it back home,

If your luck holds out—you might go far,

That’s if your plane,

Does not contain,

A pilot with the name, “Lamarr.”

(tap tap tap)

I now wear Depends from DEI(whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa).
Just in case a ni**er pilot flies(whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,whoa).

(musical break)

Ohhh, L.A. is a busy airport,
So is Logan, far across the land,
In a plane, maybe you, will make it back home,
If your luck holds out—you might go far,
That’s if your plane,
Does not contain,
A pilot with the name, “Shamar.”

I must wear Depends—thanks, D-E-I (whoa, whoa, whoa...),
Ain’t no way this black knows how to fly (whoa, whoa, whoa...). Mmmm, please get rid of airline D-E-I (whoa, whoa, whoa...) END
