Lyrics
Look, I gotta be honest on this track, so I wanna be earnest After 9/11, I remember seeing turbans and getting nervous My friend called me out and said I'm being an ignorant person Said I was being racist. I had to take it 'cuz I deserved it Listen, I wanna be honest so I give you facts My uncle had a deli and every week he's getting jacked And 9 out of 10 times these stickup kids, they happened to be black That's why he's screaming "Hurry up and buy" with his hand on his strap Look, if I wanna be heard, can't forget the balance I mean, we're racist to a point, but here's the bigger challenge Why do we group people together and only focus on the minuses? Scared of pandemics, but hatred's stronger than any virus is Think I'm dealing with racism worse 'cuz of the outbreak? No. We've been dealing with racism since birth without breaks I still have faith in humankind, but what do I know? Hatred's the most contagious, and these days it's going viral Yeah, this mornin' I told my mama to watch her back, 'cuz they're out to get us Their plan of attack is like that of the Klan, but without the get up Paranoid and ignorant is a dangerous combination They wanna blame someone, so they aim it at all the Asians I saw the clips of them gettin' kicked and it got me livid What is this time that we live in, what kinda society is this? There isn't a limit to the lengths, they'll go for a viral image And hatred may be permitted still, but violence isn't All this is showin' us how dark it is that we've become Showin' us how weak you are by targeting the weakest ones They weren't askin' for problems, still they looked at 'em awkward Wearing a mask out of caution, and now look what it cost 'em And it's an issue, I know it's something to iterate Even if they continue to, Corona doesn't discriminate The state of danger is getting drastic, it's 'bout survival But hate and anger's been spreading faster, and now it's viral Fear makes people do crazy things, your mind switched to auto "If I die, then everyone dies," it becomes the motto You're locking me in my house, and my freedom's what you f**king with? Then, f**k you, I'm leaving every elevator button licked! You tried to throw my cousin in a box, then you broke her neck Separated families, the phone's out, now it won't connect That's why I hate you. Spit on your face, show no respect Left us out to die. No one heard our cries, 'cuz no one's left You know the story: Asian boy bullied, "Chink boy" "Small d**k boy," and nowadays, they call him "sick boy" They quarantine him at school, you know how kids do it By this point, his spirit destroyed: after school, goes to his dad's desk drawer Then, finds the pistol, loads it, shaking so much and just points At himself while crying: "f**k everybody that I know! Am I the only one right now that's feeling suicidal?" Then, he shoots himself in the face and he dies: then, it goes viral
