Jearlyn Steele Battle - Race lyrics

[Verse 1] 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) 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 everytime Regurgitate the racist lines that keep us apart? Thank God this ain't Monopoly You'd make us all go back to start [Chorus 1] 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 mom 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 1] [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 1]
