Race |
Lie down, fair one, and come away |
Till the rain is over and gone |
G-G-Gimme the beat now (Face the music) |
Lead line (Face the music) |
If the air is a little thick in this room tonight |
I reckon it’s the result of an onslaught of separatist rookies |
Overcome by this colorful sight |
Talking so fast that even they |
Talking so fast that even they |
Don’t know what they mean |
Of all the things that base a rhyme |
How is it that you every time |
Regurgitate the racist lines that keep us apart? |
Thank God this ain’t Monopoly |
You’d make us all go back to start |
Race |
In the space I mark human (Face the music) |
Race |
Face the music |
We all bones when we dead |
Race |
In the space I mark human (Face the music) |
Cut me, cut you |
Both the blood is red |
I gotcha |
Race |
Race |
Check it |
Three seats over there’s a lady black |
Entrusted to her care is a little white girl |
And the fact of the matter is |
Before her mama or another kid at school |
Tells her about the fallacy that one race rules over the other |
She’d be a much-better-off-left fool (Face the music) |
If we never heard about the evils that those before us committed |
Then how my dear, tell me now how my dear, tell me now how now would we know |
And then the band say |
Race |
In the space I mark human (Face the music) |
Race |
Face the music |
We all bones when we dead |
Race |
In the space I mark human (Face the music) |
Cut me, cut you |
Both the blood is red |
I gotcha |
D-d-down with H-I-S-T-O-R-Y and all this BS propagandi |
Keepin you from me and me from you as we grow |
I don’t wanna know (I don’t wanna know) |
Why those before us hated each other |
I’d rather believe they never did |
I’d rather believe (I'd rather, I’d rather believe) |
That there’s hope for a kid |
And if he imitates the best |
I guess that’s what I’ll try to be |
And I will let the rest dissolve with my guitar underneath the sea |
Race |
In the space I mark human (Face the music) |
Race |
Face the music |
We all bones when we dead |
Race |
In the space I mark human (Face the music) |
Cut me, cut you |
Both the blood is red |
Get it? |
Got it |
