Hitler Day

[Intro]

"Five hundred years ago one man claimed to have discovered a new world. Five centuries later, we the people are forced to celebrate a Black Holocaust."

"How can you call a takeover a discovery?"

[Verse 1: Chuck D]

Mass murderer, this side of the planet

Most people take it for granted

Five hundred and two, and still doin'

Give a reason I'm hatin', October celebratin'

The dead of the black the brown and red

Sick and tired of being sick and tired

Don't jump to conclusions before I clear the confusion

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

I'm talkin' bout' Columbus, hit me off

[Chorus: Chuck D & Flavor Flav]

"I don't hate nobody"

But this day's as crazy as Hitler Day

"I don't hate nobody"

But this day's as crazy as Hitler day (crazy)

"I don't hate nobody"

But this day's as crazy as Hitler Day

"I don't hate nobody"

But this day's as crazy as Hitler Day (crazy)

[Verse 2: Chuck D]

Hangin' heads and snappin' necks

Splittin' up kin, makin' families wrecked

Turned this planet to a sewer

Provin' to all just a lil' grab, will do ya'

Or do us, so my disgust

Got credit from the ones that read it

Ain't blind to the fact of a wack headline

And if you didn't, pay the paper no mind

[Pre-Hook 1: Chuck D & Flavor Flav]

That's how I feel

That's how you feel?

That's how I feel

That's how you feel?

That's how I feel

That's how you feel?

That's how I feel

Yo, shit is mad real

[Chorus: Chuck D & Flavor Flav]

"I don't hate nobody"

But this day's as crazy as Hitler Day

"I don't hate nobody"

But this day's as crazy as Hitler Day (crazy)

[Bridge]

My, my, my, my

Celebrate my

Good old days go by

[Verse 3: Chuck D]

Some thanks for the givin' when times are hard

And some got the nerve to pray to God

It ain’t about that turkey that get me sick

It’s that take from the Indian trick

Lookin' pretty grim when they takin' the pill

From the slavin' sucker seekin' somethin' to kill

Now he got a day to celebrate, ain't that a trip

Cause the Indians ain't got shit

[Pre-Hook 2: Flavor Flav & Chuck D]

Let em know, let em know

Tell 'em 'bout it, now

("I don't hate nobody")

Let em know, let em know

("I don't hate nobody")

Let em know, let em know

Tell 'em 'bout it, now

("I don't hate nobody")

Let em know

[Verse 4: Chuck D]

May 31st when it comin' it hurts

Remember the dead and it makes me curse

When they don't include 100 million of us black folks

That died in the bottom of boats

I can carry on 'bout the killin' till dusk and dawn

But war ain't the reason they gone

[Verse 5: Chuck D]

Fourth of July, a goddamn lie

When did we ever get a piece of the pie?

I gotta whole day comin' without no pay

Cause a job can't gimme no play

Even had enough I huff and puff

At brothers sellin' the stuff

I'm takin' in Washington's, Lincolns, and not their birthdays

Payback for 'em makin' us slaves

[Pre-Hook 1]

And that is real

(That's how you feel)

And that is real

(That's how you feel)

And that is real

(That's how you feel)

And that is real

Shit is mad real

[Chorus: Chuck D & Flavor Flav]

"I don't hate nobody"

But this day's as crazy as Hitler Day

"I don't hate nobody"

But this day's as crazy as Hitler Day (crazy)

"I don't hate nobody"

But this day's as crazy as Hitler Day

"I don't hate nobody"

But this day's as crazy as Hitler Day (crazy)

[Outro: Samples]

"I don't hate nobody"

"I don't hate nobody"

"I don't hate nobody"

"I don't hate nobody"

"We don't hate nobody because of their color—we hate oppression"
