Black & White

[Intro] *News reporters reporting racism attacks* [Verse 1] Now through the century, we may have become less rudimentary In our codes of conduct, but some are still rude in plenti- -ful amounts, some even still even thinking like a Tudor mentally To the point where people are changed from who they're meant to be It seems like looks are what we're dwelling in As if someone's life can be determined by their melanin Ethnicity and skin tone are irrelevant When trying to put a thought behind someone's intelligence In some regards, society is developing Races are more mixed with others than they've ever been White, black, Chinese, Asian, Latin, American But still they're some with the intellect of a terrapin Who think that someone's skin colour indicates they're a felon and Need to be locked up, cause they're addicted to heroin Or if they so much as seem Arabic, they're a Bin- -Laden junior, who needs a grave to peril in You're walking with minds narrow as corridors Just keep in thought whether you're bad minded foreigners Or just a rich person, down sizing commoners You're thinking with same mind set as Hitler's followers Judging people by their appearance or status Trying to predict their lives by what you see in their faces It's like stripping a work of art to its basics And trying to understand where its original grace is [Hook] 'cos with so much in sight, it amazes me the type Of a person to see life in black and white Seems like we stereotype, based on if your dark or light But the truth is that this life ain't black and white! [Verse 2] I mean, why bother to use your brain? It's like trying to ride a bike when you could just use the train No worries, you can just skip right through the main Work of figuring out who's different and who's the same Just put everyone in the same book who looks similar Then fill that book with what you see in the cinema TV and radio, no need to envisage a World past that, keep viewing life through a cylinder Haha, now those maybe words of sarcasm The type you might read back and even laugh at 'em But that ain't to say that this mind set in this past hasn't Caused atrocities, murders, shit that you can't fathom In your worst, nightmares or your dreams Whole ethnic groups think they're the supreme Race, amongst all other while preparing regimes The Klu Klux Klan seeing that their area's cleaned Of all blacks, Nazis committing genocide Sickening race attacks, where men have died To due a prejudice that's gained from what's been televised 'cos we're lead to believe their whole country terrorize The smallest thought can form lethal Consequences, hundreds of scorned people We need to make this racial storm peaceful And understand each one of us is born equal [Hook] 'cos with so much in sight, it amazes me the type Of a person to see life in black and white Seems like we stereotype, based on if your dark or light But the truth is that this life ain't black and white!
