lyrics
(excerpt):
I don’t know what white people see when they look at a Negro anymore. But, I do know very well, it wasn’t me, it wasn’t me, it was something he was afraid of, but it wasn’t me.
(verse - perception of White America):
Yo I don’t trust em, 400 plus no wonder why we ain’t rush em, crooked by design intellectuals wrote its sunken its DNA that dysfunction is all lies, yet this knowledge mean nothing we fall in line, fit in society learn, how to be what they are comfy around it’s absurd, in theory, until you pulled over, intuition is leery of me when he see me good assumption I’m a criminal clearly identified as a threat, huh, for my complexion, who knew death with go hand and hand with melanin, if I die tonight or I don’t I’m labeled a felon when they pull up, see this cycle’s repetitive, crazy how I see you and you see through me, afraid in 30 years you won’t be the majority old white male struggles authority model Daughtery back in trouble, karma is more of me on the soil, see, this soil be stolen this American Dream, history has shown us you protect it by any means no inclusion for a nigga, till we see Elohim so we shed blood till’ we see heaven on earth, believe, it’s real.
(excerpt):
What I’m saying is that I’m a part of the problem, cause I don’t know how to solve the problem, so what do I do? I ignore it. Well certainly it’s much easier to not know people. If you don’t know people you don’t have to accommodate people…if you don’t know people you don’t have to accommodate people.
(verse - perception of Black America):
Yo, I don’t trust em, 150 plus regulation said to uncuff em, crooked by design intellectuals wrote its sunken in DNA so that literature’s all truth, all my forefathers knew something, yet I see it different, don’t see color at all, I say that love is blind, ain’t no color better we all equal, the same, all prayers and meritocracy, I flourish on my own merit you call it hypocrisy uh....cause we divided in the ghettos we flew away from it, historians called it white flight the nerve of em, all we want is our future preserved, you kill yourselves and then you blaming society let it burn, where you live till you wake up, wake up from how you blame us, vote, save, graduate, it’s a way up, you generation one I’m probably something to eight or nine, my wealth came down, yours was tied to mine, that free labor production till free papers was written on slave neighbors grew wealth like a skyscraper, for me and mines, huh, not you and yours,we can’t change the past, forgive and close doors, huh, it’s real
(excerpt):
The biggest hurdle that we have is that white people, they don’t really have a full understanding of what institutional racism is within the country, they think it’s just an individual act of violence to another person that doesn’t look like them and of course the African-American community sees this in a very very different way, they will clearly, and this was said from Louisville KY kids in high school, which they said, Mayor, talent is equally distributed there’s no way to get around that, but opportunity is not.
