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 |
