Chadrick - Religion of Racism lyrics

Racism is not dead Racism is not a trend or a phase Racism is a religion. racism is something that some people choose to live by Racism can't die. there will always be people who learn from their fathers who were taught by their fathers to indulge in the act of hating others because of appearance racism isn't an art. racism is code. it's frowned upon in the real world but behind the screen of a computer you're free to express (you're a n******g) Stephen Lawrence was a man who only wanted to live but he lost his life to the religion of racism You see, when you decide that you want to be different there will always be someone who hates you there will never be a time where you can have an opinion without having another going against it Growing up as a black man I knew that words of hatred are still thrown towards my people I knew that even though the civil war had settled slavery, some would never come to terms racism is not dead. I hear the topics that we talk about (Is that your real hair?) Yes (Are you mixed with anything else?) No (Can you teach me how to make kool-aid?) We are the product of what the media wants us to be. You hear Young Thug on the radio but you never hear Ab-Soul Whenever a Kendrick song comes on it's always stereotypes masking subliminal messages Get a pool full of liqour then you drown in it, that's what the radio wants you to hear (All black people love to drink, don't they?) You would be a fool to realize that the song goes beyond just that Nobody cares about how deep you can be The media wants to promote the hits If a song is a hit... put it on the radio, If a video is a hit... post it on Worldstar If an innocent black man gets hit, tell his family that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time Michael Brown got shot but the TV's wanna replay footage of a store being robbed. Trayvon got shot but the TV's wanna show a young black man with a grill and a wife beater People go around saying that black people keep racism alive in America. The percentage of racist black people in America overpowers other races The percentage of black people in America is 12% Let that sink in
