Racism

I'm seeing evil it's up on the television
These days it's to hard to have tunnel vision
Trying to get to the top to have better living
What's the point if my people not winning (Ooh)
What part of the message these people not getting
These people don't listen
They see what they want and they say what they feeling
What they feeling is chilling
They look at my skin and they say I'm the villain

Racism I got to live with this shit (I do)
Fuck it my momma ain't raise a lil bitch
Hold up that stick
I've seen what you've done and I'm not going to forget
You wrote the rules and you still break em
You throw them punches I take em
My bones ain't aching my soul ain't shaking (No fear)
One day I'll have this whole world shaking that's the promise I'm making
I was forged in the hottest of heat
Warrior head to my feet
Got a thought in my head I'ma say it I don't need a beat
So how can you hope to compete (You can't)
A fight with a giant is no easy feet
But we do it we fight in the street
We fought 'gainst this country for years not weeks and some yet still struggle to eat (You see it)
Live in your privilege and hide in your silence (Pussy)
Shout out to people who believe in alliance
Some try to do peaceful some try the defiance
I know this shit ain't no perfect science but we still trying
Ain't no baby sheep I'ma big lion (Ooh)
Got a heavy heart but I'm still flying
Oh they say we equal but they still lying
And I see my brothers out here still dying (I see it)
I was forged in the hottest of heat
I'm a warrior from the top of my head to balls of my feet
I rather stand for my people than sit in a kings seat
If I'm seeing the horror then why would I want to sleep
I live by the knuckle and fist ain't non this shit sweet

I'm seeing evil it's up on the television
These days it's to hard to have tunnel vision
Trying to get to the top to have better living
What's the point if my people not winning (Ooh)
What part of the message these people not getting
These people don't listen
They see what they want and they say what they say what they feeling
What they feeling is chilling they look at my skin and they say I'm the villain

They say I'm the villain
Ain't got no more patience no time for this killing I've had it from hear to the ceiling

They say I'm the villain
Imagine if all of us switched places then tell me about how you feeling (Ooh)

(Who taught you to hate the texture of your hair
Who taught you to hate the color of your skin to such extent that you bleach to get like the white man
Who taught you to hate the shape of your nose and the shape of your lips
Who taught you to hate yourself from the top of your head to the soles of your feet)
