Lorenzo Asher - The Color of Ignorance lyrics
rate mefeat. XV
Say goodbye to the past, see our lives in the crash
She makes breakfast in bed, watch the sunrise off of her glass
Suck all the poverty, turn right on power street
Succulent flower leaves that comes to my succubus’ circumference
Hell, I can call common please
That’s common pleas, environmentalist, they hunt just for fun
Vote republican, plus don’t give a fuck about the public
Just Fortune 500 companies
Take what you want from us less fortunate
Can’t see our sorrow, portraits from behind the walls or fortresses
Forbes list orchestras orchids and orifices is gorgeous, isn’t it?
The horror of this is the rest of the world doubts its importance
Our grain is deep
The shadow government and we are all sheep
Even the president is just a pawn piece
That’s a small piece of our grief, we just want peace to peaceful riots
Down on the Wall street, oh, y’all should try it
She lives in a mansion and me, I don’t
She got trust funds, I just have hope
So it seems, parents are racist, but religion, that’s hate
That’s ridiculous, spirituality’s faith, don’t be ambiguous
So if she’s light and I’m dark and it feels right in our hearts
But shade of skin do us part, then what’s the color of ignorance
‘Cause I swear that I thought Noah created an arch
And segregated, pigmentation didn’t matter in biblical situations
Idiot, trying to rationalize irrationality and actuality
Embarrassed by my nationality
And I shouldn’t have to feel that way, shouldn’t have to kneel that way
500 deaths in Chicago, I bet some kids got killed today
Society couldn’t care less, the eminent
As long as those bodies are black, then live with it
Color of ignorance
And uh, maybe I’m attached to you
But I don’t really wanna come of it, girl
Girl, I don’t really wanna come home to you
Home to you, they’re on to you, on to you
Baby, they’re on to you, on to you
Baby, they’re on to you, on to you
Baby, they’re on to you, they’re on to you
And uh, maybe I’m attached to you
But I don’t really wanna come of it, girl
Girl, I don’t really wanna come home to you
Home to you, they’re on to you, on to you
Baby, they’re on to you, on to you
Baby, they’re on to you, on to you
Baby, they’re on to you, they’re on to you
Say goodbye to the past
See our lives in the crash
She makes breakfast in bed
Watch the sunrise off of her glass
Society couldn’t care less, the eminent
As long as those bodies are black then live with it
Racism, a nasty word, the conscience thoughts and oppressive deeds
Made by men because of creed
Discrimination, another one
The bonds are mines and sharpest tongues
Because of some elitist thought that’s unjust and plainly wrong
Fighting wars because of God, trembling on the underdog
But we have legislation to banish discrimination
Equal opportunity’s the current phrase
Or incantation
The rules and laws are needed
Where some of us were there to think of ways to denigrate others on this earth
Our place, racism? There’s just one human race
No matter what form the face
And discrimination, a faculty we all posses
To separate what’s bad from best
Discrimination would be good
If it would be used for what it does
But then the world unites, all of us
