ItsTheory's Notes
Talking about institutionalized racism in American society.
//VERSE 1 (Lucifer):
I grew up in a city that was semi-segregated,
where most people are poor and uneducated,
there's so many kids who truly never made it,
and Katrina left all of New Orleans devastated,
plus the city is mostly black so it's forever hated,
so many people in the ghetto got them levitated,
the justice system? Well the cops featherweight it,
liberal bigots had tried to make clever statements,
I'd rather listen to these ignorant right-wing people,
than these pseudo-intellectual hipsters, the evil,
is not necessarily locked within the population,
it's rooted in the money that still locks the nation,
stop debatin', we need to switch conversations,
talk about race and class instead of profit makin',
Strange Fruit since Billie Holiday had it quoted,
dangerous streets, we need the guns unloaded,
young innocent black men have to stop and freeze,
it reminds me of the crops from the Poplar Trees,
it reminds me of Marvin Gaye and Carson McRae,
breathin' slow, ghetto air makes it harder to say,
so many kids would later die, they'd never know it,
life is blowin' in the wind, words of a clever poet,
I've talked about this before, poison in the seeds,
that grow those damned trees, blood on the leaves
//VERSE 2 (Justin):
Pointless fatalities over nationality,
Romans 2:11 for god shows no partiality
when it comes to race we often have the wrong mentality
judging from someone's race is now a normality
you're a different color and people act as if it's an genetic abnormality!
I don't understand what's wrong with the world today
and all I have to say is thank god were able to say that there's such thing as a martin luther king day
racism bullets being shot in every which way
I don't even wanna know what kinda results we would get
with a exploratory survey
about racism, we would have little agreements in a big way!
people judge others based on their pigments under their skin
ignoring the fact that it's a serious sin
all looking at each other like we're wearing animal skin!
Back in the day the south showed no mercy for blacks
Work the asses off and the owners the one with money stacks
No time to relax, one false move and they get multiple whip attacks
Everybody shutters as they hear the whip cracks
In america we have the most races but we still so bias
People acting racist even though they act so damn pious
But that's just how america is
Racism interferes with shit like government and showbiz
Stupid racist jokes can surprise you like a pop quiz
White, black, purple, green
Don't matter bout the color we all the same and there is no in between
And how the fuck do these racist actions go unseen?!
//VERSE 3 (Emmz):
A country preachin' ideals of all breeds of people bein' equal
Except the niggers and the women and the whites who aren't regal
It's been aligned throughout our time, prophecized just like Ezekiel
Because the case plainly states that slavery was just the prequel
The evil thinkin' proceeded even when they were freed
Without the whips and chains it's still displayed the ways that they would bleed
Bigots beat 'em, impede 'em, even insult with means so cheap
Like "Don't let 'em 'round our women" cuz we own women like things
Bashin' blacks and trashin' "faggots" sadly will not go out of fashion
Civil Rights are like Wolverine's claws, eventually they get retracted
And the impact of these actions, a moral atlas assassin
There's bitter masses established while you just twitter and hash it
I embrace these statements beyond the place of a plain voter
I am the slave who hanged his hateful male owner
I am the gays who say that straights can straight blow them
I am the dame who breaks the face of her mate who became an ogre
