From The Day We Are Born

Discrimination based on anything
The suffering from the pain it brings
People seldom understand
It’s dictated by society’s hands
We learn from the day we are born
Who to like, who to scorn

Racism sucks there is no reason why
So many suffer an insidious lie
The melting pot is one big joke
Don’t believe the lies we have been told

Immerse yourself in the knowledge to be found
Open your eyes man it’s all around
If you quest knowledge there is much to be read
Read a book or something instead
(Malcolm X, Stokley Carmichael, Martin Luther King)
Racism sucks there is no reason why
So many suffer an insidious lie
The melting pot is one big joke
Don’t believe the lies we have been told

How can whites speak for others when the oppressor is us
We must put aside our fucking biases and look with fresh eyes
Then when we see the cultures eyes through its own eyes
We learn how much we were fucking blind, blinded by ignorance

(How can we overcome the prejudice that plagues us,
We must put aside out biases and look with fresh eyes
Submerse ourselves into their cultures eyes
When we open our eyes we open our mind
Then we see how much we were blind)

Our racism comes from our greed
Satisfied by our need
Simple reasons for the complex
Hang time… another death
It’s easier to pass the blame
Just a rook in society’s game

Discrimination based on anything
The suffering from the pain it brings
People seldom understand
It’s dictated by society’s hands
