Racism 2.0 by Open Mike Eagle Lyrics
[Intro]
Y'all heard that new racism?
(Nah, G, racism washed up)
That new racism hard, yo
Y'all thought racism went away, it never retired
(Nah, racism wack, G)
Racism came back on y'all, yeah
(I ain't tryna hear that, racism washed)
[Open Mike Eagle]
Racism got canceled, but just to pretend, stop
Now it's back with a whole new season to binge watch
It's racism 2.0 the sequel
A grass-roots kickstarter funded through Reboot
[Sammus]
So, racism has got a dope marketing team
They using black folks and black quotes to market they memes
When they done riding our backs, they'll just park 'em and leave
Pull the rug, they won't even have the carpeting cleaned
[Open Mike Eagle]
Yeah, yeah, I hear it's up for a book deal
They say it's CGI, I think it looks real
It's got merch', you can buy you a shot glass
Racism posts links, subscribe to its podcast
[Sammus]
Now, racism got cornrows and know it's a cash crop
And wish it could adorn 'fros or rock a big flat top
Oh, racism is down, 'cause it listens to Black Thought?
And it can doodle 'round with some kids in a flash mob?
[Open Mike Eagle]
Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah
Performin' best in the poor regions
And expected to win big this award season
[Sammus]
Meanwhile, I'm over here with the have-nots
Black, a fat ass, nappy locks, writin' rap bops
Of props to my dad's uncle, captured in padlocks
Shot by US government black ops
[Open Mike Eagle]
Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah
It had another banner day today
Racism was trending and did a Reddit AMA
And fans of racism are doin' cosplay
With tiki torches, yellin' slurs in your hallway
[Sammus]
Racism had a pop-up shop
Don't be sad if you missed out
I think I got the code for a discount
I heard it's one of racism's fanbase's favorite phrases
Sans spaces and upper cases, "IAIN'TARACIST"
[Chorus: Open Mike Eagle]
Thought it was washed
But it dropped a new joint, though
Went to the lab
Came back with a new school flow
Is it a bird, or a plane, or a UFO?
It's even worse, it's racism 2.0
Thought it was washed
But it dropped a new joint, though
Went to the lab
Came back with a new school flow
And it's invisible, so you can say that you don't know
It's sneaky, it's racism 2.0
[Outro: Sammus]
I'm not a racist, I fuckin' love black people
Fuckin' love the blacks
Yeah, I love those guys
Y'all heard that new racism?
(Nah, G, racism washed up)
That new racism hard, yo
Y'all thought racism went away, it never retired
(Nah, racism wack, G)
Racism came back on y'all, yeah
(I ain't tryna hear that, racism washed)
