Body Count, Jello Biafra - The Hate Is Real lyrics

The words echo America's long
And painful history of
Telling citizens of color
They do not belong here
Is the president a racist?
We live in fear every single day
But we never know what can happen to
Us because of our skin color
Get the fuck out of this country!
Go back to Israel! Back to Mexico!
Essentially, it normalizes hate
And makes it acceptable

The love is fake but the hate is real
The love is fake but the hate is real

I got your back i never lie
Save that shit
I've heard that bullshit before
My loyalty cannot be matched save that shit
I've heard that bullshit before
I'd ride for you i'd die for you
Save that shit
I've heard that bullshit before
I'm there for you i care for you
Save that shit
I've heard that bullshit before

When someone hates you, please
Believe this shit's real
They wish you bad luck
They wish you bad health
They want to see you sick
Miserable and in pain
They want to see you choke
They want to see you broke
The hate is real, it's uncut, it's pure
It's not rare, it's easy to find
Ignorance breeds hate, hate breeds war
Been that way since the beginning of time

The love is fake but the hate is real
The love is fake but the hate is real

I hate racists, so I'm guilty too
I'm from LA where the red
Try to kill the blue
I'm from the place where the
Kids hate the fuckin' cops
(Kids hate the fuckin' cops)
Where the street violence never stops
Hate is jealousy but some's deeper than that
The hater wants you gone dead on your back
Love ain't always fake but I don't trust it
Hate will have you killed
And won't discuss it

The love is fake but the hate is real
The love is fake but the hate is real

The love is fake but the hate is real
The love is fake but the hate is real

When somebody tells you they love you
That could be just a figure of speech
They might like you
They might be cool with you
But when somebody hates you
That shit is real they fucking hate you
