[Intro: Caribbean Women] Right now racism is moving in a different gear, so brothers and sisters you better prepare x3 We are now living in the age of the physiological warfare [Hook: Kardinal Offishall] It don't matter if ya' darkskin, fairskin, clearskin, all black Everyting' is not everyting', when you come from the ghetto where the weed was at My boy, your boy, his boy, all black Some of dem' boy try bleach it out, a house n***a is what we call that All black x6 Everything [Verse 1: Planet VI] Aye, I'm a brown skin island boy, who all the darkskin n***as hatin' If you a chocolate color who dislikes my color then, you still a motherf**in' racist Born in the hood, so even black business owners said I ain't sh** And my reply is we are the same skin color just a different slave ship Ain't really no more black and white, you're either rich or poor as f** And if you are broke, it's cool cause that would mean that you are just one of us Blacks who don't like blacks is the kind of people you ain't suppose to trust So in they face, I wave my hands with both of my middle fingers up So even if you have money, Babylon still a treat us the same Rodney King us today, back then they were hanging us like they do Saddam Hussein Came from being whipped in chains to now all we want is whips and chains Ironic and what that says is no matter what some things just won't never change [Verse 2: Prya] Yo, if all our leaders are blind where the hell they gon' lead us? We tell our stories through rhymes and they still don't believe us They say racism died and got replaced with freedom but they'll still crucify me for praisin' a black Jesus These girls they'll do anything to change they black features Brothers don' turned bleaches, mutated to strange creatures Don-don-don't come up in the night if ya' too light, stay home in the day if ya' too dark Don't jump in our water if ya' can't swim, ya' might be food for the white sharks [Hook] [Verse 3: Kardinal Offishall] Yo, out of many one people, different colors but trust me we ain't equal I ain't looking at the white man for the evil, I look some of the most evil you know are your homies Telling you that you ain't never gonna' make it out the ghetto Hello? see what I'm talkin' bout' That's physiological warfare is bigger than any nuclear war from the White House White house, half white President, black house, poison it's elements Crack house, sell it get a settlement, gentrification making ghettos irrelevant Anywhere the British went, the lighter you are it is easier to pay rent That's why enough yawdie's come up far and they try they best to invest in white girlfriends and make pretty pretty pretty little children Jah walk to ya' people den', they lost but the funny thing is they ain't never went nowhere, they ain't never gonna' get nowhere It's divide and conquer, multiply Brainwash fathers, watch them die Take away they culture they won't cry, as long as they seeing a piece of the American pie Trading ya' legacy for some Hennessy, giving your respect to the high bidder I'm in all black till they bury me, even when I'm dead something for you to consider This ain't about black, white, this here about black oil This here about colored people, this here about foreign soil We talkin' about Malcolm X, you sniffin' that Betty White He sellin' like Taylor Swift cause all them dope heads smoking right Trying to make that Johnny Cash, sellin' to Bobby Brown When the revolution comes, we'll see who's around [Hook]
