Boogie Down Productions - The Racist Lyrics
VerseIve been taught to respect my elders and behaveEven if when they were young they sold slavesTruth and understandin is what I craveIn the land of the thief, home of the slaveTurn your page to a brief demonstrationCos now in 90 its strictly information Im givinTeachin on a regular basisTodays lecture is about the racistWere not out to exaggerate or diss himBut show the symptoms and facts of racismUnderstand the racist aint equalTheres about five different types of racist peopleFirst of the five different types of casesIs the individual brought up racistHere you have young men and womenBrought up in the great white way opinionThis opinion introduced by the parentTo the civilised becomes transparentThe civilised man could look through the facesMake the analysis and see the racistNumber two case which yall must hearIs the individual racist out of fearHere you have people that fear the africanAnd conjure up new ways of trappin himNumber three is the unconscious racistNot knowin theyre racist they invade your spacesThey say, Im not a racist, Im not a bigotYet they allow it to go on and wont admit itNumber four is the money racistThe one that used the topics of sheer economicsThey say, owning a business isnt for the black manHe dont want that, yet they went and took his landDamn, thats like a rock in a hard placeYou dont have your land yet this aint your spaceAmerica was built by every other raceExcept the european that runs this placeWhat a waste, americas doomedTo be overthrown by the righteous real soonBut last but not least racial prejudiceIs the black man speakin out of ignoranceWhitey this and ching-chow thatIs not how the intelligent man actsYou cant blame the whole white raceFor slavery, cos this aint the caseA large sum of white people died with blackTryin hard to fight racial attacksThe media wants you to think that no whitesReally fought and died for civil rightsBut once we have a true sense of historyYoull see this too as a mysteryIf black and white didnt argue the mostThey could clearly see the governments screwin em both.
