Wade Waters - A Post-Racial America lyrics
rate meIs the same thing I saw it yesterday
We need a better way ‘cause anything changed.
Police is violent but they tell me be a pacifist
I’m black and love this country I’m a masochist
Post-racial can’t be the adjective
its inadequate
the thought it makes me wanna laugh at it
The border looks like a nazi camp
They still murder blacks ask Oscar Grant
Left wing politicians won't cop a stance
A bunch of cowards all afraid of Fox's rants
False information leads to inflammation of this cancer
Then untrue views is spewed through the camera
They blame Mexicans for trafficking, intoxicants,
And Arizona they gonna ask for your documents
Since Africans was carried to the Occident
They try to convince the world the treatment was innocuous
And how could I be confident
When the NAACP is incompetent
We got Obama and we were on high like marijuana
Now we see his persona attract nothing but drama
We were real simp thinking that he might save us
My life chances still lower than my white neighbors
No education black juveniles fight cases
Kanye apologized so I call'em racists
And I gotta basis, covered all my bases
This goes out to Sarah Palin and Ronald Reagan
I got questions, I need answers
Still trying to figure out whats the matters with Kansas?
Kids got the same rights, different chances
He who inherits advantage advances
We post-racial like an airport scan is
I got cabbies who wanting me where the Klan is
Shudder when they utter double standards
Eating away at the discourse like cancer
Far from post racial so hateful
Hate speech gets a man a job on cable
Fly Fox's lies toxic so why watch it
Optics glazed eye sockets myopic
The president is black so he’s an ex-factor
We’re on the next chapter,
They trying to step backwards
Class war created, more the poor hated
Success rate and skin color is still correlated
And I don't even wanna talk about the N-word
I wanna know why ideas get censored
Wade Waters.. down forthe causes ya
I’m about to say f*ck it and run for office
Is the same thing I saw it yesterday
We need a better way ‘cause ain't a thing changed.
We have comfort, we’re not there yet
On the stairs steps is not fair yet
Is the same thing I saw it yesterday
We need a better way ‘cause anything changed.
And we still struggle, we ain’t reclaiming
We gotta keep working, let’s keep prime in.
