Ice T - Race War lyrics

Yeah

Yeah

Check this out: now I'm black

But black people trip

Cause white people like me

White people like me

But don't like them

What's the fuck up

Are you my friend?

Hell no, you're a racist

You say you got one black friend, so you're in

Sorry homie, no win

Check the facts

Mexicans are still gettin pushed to the back

Puerto-Ricans gettin dissed the same

Won't speak on the Indians, shit's insane

Fuck John Wayne

I don't hate whites

I just got a death wish for muthafuckas that ain't right

You got black skin

Still you gotta show and prove, friend

Back to the facts

What about Australia?

A fuckin failure

The Aboriginal people are black

So they got jacked

You ask me about free speech and the Riots?

So what's in store?

I'm talkin bout a race war

(Get yourself together)

(Upen your eyes

Get wise)

(Put your brain in gear)

Race war

People gettin killed in the street

Blood on your feet, the ends don't meet

And who they gonna blame it on, me?

Try the media

Try the P.D.

Try your TV

Try your quest for wealth

Anybody but yourself

But once the bullets start flyin

People start dyin

It's all because we're lyin

History books that teach hate

A kid has no escape

From the racist fate

And pretty soon South Africa

Will stop chillin

And start killin

Race war (8X)

Every night I pray

That people get this shit together one day

But this country ain't with it

America was founded on that racist shit

I judge the devil by his deeds

It's usually connected to the size of his greed

And keep the hope

Even though they'd love to give a nigga like me the rope

And when this shit hits

There's gonna be a lotta white kids rollin with the Africans

You can't sweat skin

Cause ??? a lot of blacks is down with the Republicans

This shit don't have to happen

That's why a brother like me's still rappin

Just treat each other right

Either that, or you're lookin for a sure fight

Fuck the police

We already know they ain't about no fuckin peace

You wanna know what I think's in store?

Justice or a race war

(Get yourself together)

(Upen your eyes

Get wise)

Race war

(Get yourself together)

(Upen your eyes

Get wise)

(Put your brain in gear)

Race war

(Get yourself together)

(Upen your eyes

Get wise)

(Put your brain in gear)

Race war

(Get yourself together)

(Upen your eyes

Get wise)

(Put your brain in gear)

Korean people live down in the hood

A little mis-fuckin-understood

Orientals were slaves too

Word to this fuckin red white and blue

People from Iran ain't never did shit to us

So why the distrust?

The system wanna keep us at each other's throats

While we're payin the tax notes

Cause bein black ain't no fuckin minority

It's the fuckin majority

So they gotta make us hate each other

Word, check the brothers

Mexicans - black

Jamaicans - black

Iranians - black

Indians - black

Hawaiians - black

Puerto-Ricans - black

Eskimos - black

South-Americans - black

Orientals - black

Yeah, that's right

The Klan says everything's black that ain't white

So we gotta get our facts straight

Cause the shit they teach in school is pure hate

Sometimes I don't know for sure

If somebody want a race war

(Get yourself together)

(Upen your eyes

Get wise)

Race war

(Get yourself together)

(Upen your eyes

Get wise)

(Put your brain in gear)

Race war

(Get yourself together)

(Upen your eyes

Get wise)

(Put your brain in gear)

Race war

(Get yourself together)

(Upen your eyes

Get wise)

(Put your brain in gear)

Who wants a race war?
