Race

[Intro]

Lie down, fair one, and come away

Till the rain is over and gone

G-G-Gimme the beat now (Face the music)

Lead line (Face the music)

[Verse 1]

If the air is a little thick in this room tonight

I reckon it's the result of an onslaught of separatist rookies

Overcome by this colorful sight

Talking so fast that even they

Talking so fast that even they

Don't know what they mean

Of all the things that base a rhyme

How is it that you every time

Regurgitate the racist lines that keep us apart?

Thank God this ain't Monopoly

You'd make us all go back to start

[Chorus]

Race

In the space I mark human (Face the music)

Race

Face the music

We all bones when we dead

Race

In the space I mark human (Face the music)

Cut me, cut you

Both the blood is red

I gotcha

Race

Race

Check it

[Verse 2]

Three seats over there's a lady black

Entrusted to her care is a little white girl

And the fact of the matter is

Before her mama or another kid at school

Tells her about the fallacy that one race rules over the other

She'd be a much-better-off-left fool (Face the music)

If we never heard about the evils that those before us committed

Then how my dear, tell me now how my dear, tell me now how now would we know

And then the band say

[Chorus]

Race

In the space I mark human (Face the music)

Race

Face the music

We all bones when we dead

Race

In the space I mark human (Face the music)

Cut me, cut you

Both the blood is red

I gotcha

[Verse 3]

D-d-down with H-I-S-T-O-R-Y and all this BS propagandi

Keepin you from me and me from you as we grow

I don't wanna know (I don't wanna know)

Why those before us hated each other

I'd rather believe they never did

I'd rather believe (I'd rather, I'd rather believe)

That there's hope for a kid

And if he imitates the best

I guess that's what I'll try to be

And I will let the rest dissolve with my guitar underneath the sea

[Chorus]

Race

In the space I mark human (Face the music)

Race

Face the music

We all bones when we dead

Race

In the space I mark human (Face the music)

Cut me, cut you

Both the blood is red

Get it?

[Outro]

Got it
