mr. game: your first prize - wynton marsalis lyrics

mr. game, back for your international delight. though our game has been played across time and sp*ce, i give out prizes of value to only this time and place. you will receive five gifts of various sizes, each enlivened by hand*picked surprises which further apprises you of what was earned and learned from our handling of ‘others’ and their brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers. what we did to them or for them taught us how to achieve prosperity and order

each prize is accompanied with a clear explanation. generally, i give some local history. then, i tell you exactly what’s happening (that’s called the breakdown). explain how our choices worked out over time (that’s the hand me down) and finally, we look underneath the sheets where the big dog eats (that’s the lowdown)

first prize:

here’s some historical fact

these people weren’t doing anything productive and our lives gave them purpose. to serve us. we gave them separate living quarters and encouraged them to pursue that same type of housing after we freed them

what you do is what you will do and that you do makes it true

try as we might, most have proven to be beyond rehabilitation. look around. you see them hanging around always involved in some type of mayhem and madness

here’s the breakdown:

nothing is more important than living in a comfortable environment. just seeing them can bring up fear and bad feelings. we’ve got to keep them largely out of sight and mind. they are, however, very good at games and at playing things

here’s the hand me down:

o, mighty people! we must be inhospitable to them and to any group of outsiders who come here disrespecting our flag and our beliefs
here’s the lowdown:

keep them down. keep them away. let no wound be too small to inflict. quietly make sure they are slowly strangled by all of the systems across this mighty nation

your first prize, great and glorious people, is the freedom of segregation, segmentation and h0m*genization. everywhere you look, you will only see yourself. congratulations!!
