作词 : D Nice, D Square, Mills ... | |
Verse I've been taught to respect my elders and behave | |
Even if when they were young they sold slaves | |
Truth and understandin' is what | |
I crave In the land of the thief, home of the slave | |
Turn your page to a brief demonstration | |
Cos now in '90 it's strictly information | |
I'm givin' | |
Teachin' on a regular basis | |
Today's lecture is about | |
The Racist | |
We're not out to exaggerate or diss him | |
But show the symptoms and facts of racism | |
Understand | |
The Racist ain't equal | |
There's about five different types of racist people | |
First of the five different types of cases | |
Is the individual brought up racist | |
Here you have young men and women | |
Brought up in the | |
Great White | |
Way opinion | |
This opinion introduced by the parent | |
To the civilised becomes transparent | |
The civilised man could look through the faces | |
Make the analysis and see | |
The Racist | |
Number two case which y'all must hear | |
Is the individual racist out of fear | |
Here you have people that fear the | |
African And conjure up new ways of trappin' him | |
Number three is the unconscious racist | |
Not knowin' they're racist they invade your spaces | |
They say, "I'm not a racist, I'm not a bigot" | |
Yet they allow it to go on and won't admit it | |
Number four is the money racist | |
The one that used the topics of sheer economics | |
They say, "Owning a business isn't for the black man He don't want that", yet they went and took his land | |
Damn, that's like a rock in a hard place | |
You don't have your land yet this ain't your space | |
America was built by every other race | |
Except the | |
European that runs this place | |
What a waste, | |
America's doomed | |
To be overthrown by the righteous real soon | |
But last but not least racial prejudice | |
Is the black man speakin' out of ignorance | |
Whitey this and | |
Ching-Chow that | |
Is not how the intelligent man acts | |
You can't blame the whole white race | |
For slavery, cos this ain't the case | |
A large sum of white people died with black | |
Tryin' hard to fight racial attacks | |
The media wants you to think that no whites | |
Really fought and died for | |
Civil Rights | |
But once we have a true sense of history | |
You'll see this too as a mystery | |
If black and white didn't argue the most | |
They could clearly see the government's screwin' 'em both. |
