AT THE RACES by ThatKidPrince Lyrics
I thought we were brothers,thought we was one
Till the times change,now I ask myself what did they really want
Were they only friends with me because of the colour of my skin
If I wasn't black would they still consider me a friend or a kin
Did they just hang around me just to feel politically correct
It was all fake from the beginning, what else did expect
Can't trust nobody these days,everyone suspect
Mac said it best "people are more concerned about being called racist than racism"
That's the system of Britain
If you speak up,you'll be locked in a prison
They teach to defend yourself but not stand for what you believe in
Judged by our colour and heritage
When we mention the word race they get hesitant
It's blatant in each one of their eyes,shows the true reflection of what's on their mind
Ah every word you said,i know you meant it
Forget it
You complain about my people on Twitter and Reddit
Yet your favourite rapper is Kanye or Kendrick
Fucking hypocrites
Fuck your ignorance
Rosa,Martin,Malcom and Nelson didn't die for this
Don't get the jist
Just a bunch of vultures false advertising the culture
We're taking rap back
I might just resurrect Pac and Biggie to drop a diss track
Fuck that bs you're on,I see through the mask
This ain't comic con
It's ludicrous
Fuck your Hollywood views,your morals are straight dumb
Chew us up then spit us out when you're done
Scrutinise me cause of the colour of my skin and where I'm from
No officer not today,put your gun away
Stop waving your badge in my face
I'm just trying to hustle to live another day
To put food on my mother's plate
I ain't repping a set,Its just a 10 pack of cigarettes
Out here is a game of Russian roulette
If you don't shoot you die
I'm just trying to survive
Only the high-power has the right to take lives
Tonight ain't my night
Fuck your right wing views
Deny it all you want,We see right through
You supposed to save lives
Yet you're out here taking them
Some don't even see past age seventeen
While the crowd is yelling black lives matter
You act like you're all for it,you're the one who caused it
Don't be out here tearing and cheering
You're being overzealous
Deep down,.we all know it's fake and pretentious
Perched up on your steeple,as you watch the feeble
Deep down,you don't give a fuck about the people
Cause deep down, you know we are not equal
It must be fulfilling
Another day,another killing
It must be endearing
Arrest us for rapping,strip us of passion
Yeh,keep clapping,keep cheering
Keep endorsing the culture,while blasting Ed Sheeran
.......In all honesty I can't name names
I can't point the blame
Why do we bother
How can we blame race when ,we're still killing each other
Till the times change,now I ask myself what did they really want
Were they only friends with me because of the colour of my skin
If I wasn't black would they still consider me a friend or a kin
Did they just hang around me just to feel politically correct
It was all fake from the beginning, what else did expect
Can't trust nobody these days,everyone suspect
