Racism: *Solved*

 

 

I hate to do this, but I gotta call out a whole race

Black people are keeping whites stuck in their old ways

Hear me out, I thought this through the whole way

And it's been a heavy burden that's been on my soul's weight

I thought about why blacks have a negative image

Less intelligent, aggressive, just let me finish

I realized color wasn't the root cause of condemning

And it hit me, from here, you'll be with me or against me

Consider this, imagine these aliens, two colors

And we'll say, BLUE and GREEN, and they live amongst each other

A huge segment of the BLUE aliens are fans of a craft

where others rhyme about violence and celebrate it

Pants sag in the back, subculture was created

They're hostile and aggressive, then wonder why they're hated

To the GREEN ones, all these BLUES look menacing

They can't tell the difference between them and a normal citizen

The GREENS didn't wake up and decide to hate the BLUES

Perception was built by all the crimes that make the news

They don't hate different colors arbitrarily

No hate for red or yellow ones, so apparently

it's not color, but personality traits, inherently

dominant in BLUES, it's true, it isn't heresy

Can't fix what's broken till we acknowledge it

Don't support violent culture, admonish it

Can't blame 'em for not accepting with open arms

People that's angry, aggressive, probably toting arms

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hoping harm

Would come to all ghetto thugs, bunch of little bugs

If not for the thugs, and the ghetto rappers

We might actually be moving the opposite of backwards

Now let me tell you something about racism

Then you'll see that I'm not just someone with hate in him

When I mention terrorism, what group you think of

Japanese or Middle East, your brain can link up

past events and compare it to what's now happening

And predict a probable future cause it's been mapping it

Stereotypes don't just happen by accident

If we didn't know what criminals looked like, how would we know

to walk our kids in the opposite way the vandals went

Without a knowledge base, everything would feel random then

Knowledge is built from experience and repetition

It's not a stereotype, it's your brain's recognition

It sees something, compares what it knows about it

We know what criminals looks like, let's make no bones about it

There's a difference between stereotype and superstition

The former applies past facts to everything

that looks the same. The latter is about black cats and ladders

I'm on a ruthless mission to smack rap and the crooks to blame

For the image of blacks, stop and think a minute

Forget political correctness, and stop being offended

Think of why stereotypes exist in the first place

Then we can own the issue, and fix this cursed race

Prejudice isn't random, for the most part, Chinese and Indians

aren't seen as dumb, they're seen as both smart

Just like the stereotype about math and Asians

There's a reason for that, and it's not your imagination

Throughout your life, you've seen plenty of examples

of traits more in one group than would be in a random sample

For example, if three out of ten pitbulls bit you

Apologies to the seven, I have nothing against you

Just looking I can't tell which group you fit into

We don't see people impartially, we just pretend to

Without a form of bias we wouldn't even be alive

The cavemen would've died, we evolved to do or die

Bottom line, urban means thug till proven otherwise

Police are shooting thugs, none of the other brothers died

Most folks aren't randomly racist out of nowhere

Even blacks move from the hood, avoid having to go there

And on the street, if you see two urban black dudes

Don't lie, you evaluate whether they could attack you

Our society says, "you're not allowed to hate this"

Criticize blacks and you'll get labeled a racist

But it's not racist to hate ignorance and foolishness

Again, not the color, of course good blacks do exist

The good ones are unfairly linked by color with the bad

After years of fighting Injustice, I hit The Lab

I finally solved the puzzle, in no uncertain terms

The urban look goes with crime like dirt and worms

Yeah those are hurting words but I gotta be aggressive

I gotta dig up the truth that everyone's repressing

Been screaming for years about getting equal treatment

No one ever examined why we failed to achieve it

Calling out whites as if it was without a doubt

But the phone calls been coming from inside the house

Been blaming whites for supposedly being racist

The problem is thugs, how many times I gotta say this

Of course there's racist hate groups and extremists

I'm talking about everyday people like Joe and Sue

I guarantee they'll agree if you show them what I'm showing you

None of this is theory, I lived it I seen it

Saw it, I'm not saying it to be mean, I'm saying it cause I mean it

I gotta solve it, no one else is speaking

Eventually everything I said will become proverbs

in hindsight, I connect lines like crosswords

Thugs and rappers are poisoning the black image

So I'm bashing hood culture and everyone that's in it

Rap's finished, no more defending them

Other than NF, Dan Bull, and Eminem

Remember the picture test? Now picture this

What society is expecting of us ridiculous

Asking soccer moms to accept black vermin

Thugs that is, offended when she acts nervous

From her eyes, everyone's a thug who's hip hop slash urban

Like we judge guys who have turbans

She's not racist, go back to my earlier statements

What do thugs look like? Then look who she's facing

So instead of debating, let's clearly state the facts

It's the ghetto scum that makes people hate the blacks

And the innocent victims are the young black men

Who aren't thugs, but has an image that they're trapped in

And every culture has their own clothes they like to wear

If you're black and dress urban, there's a price to bear

To an outsider, you'll look like a real thug

That's the black experience, innocent and still judged

I'm on a warpath to restore back respect to blacks

You can help me, or keep defending the infected rats

I'm fuming, if you don't see the truth in what I'm doing

You're part of the problem, in denial, or just stupid

For those that are with me, I do have a solution

I'll explain in my next song exactly how we'll do this
