[Kendrick Lamar - Fuck Your Ethnicity lyrics]
Gather 'round
I'm glad everybody came out tonight
As we stand on our neighborhood corner
Know that this fire that's burning
Represents the passion you have listen
Keisha, Tammy, come up front
I recognize all of you every creed and color
With that being said fuck your ethnicity
You understand that?
We gon' talk about a lot
Of shit that concerns you, all of you
Now everybody, throw your hands up high
If you don't give a fuck
Throw your hands up high
Throw your hands up high
Now, I don't give a fuck if you
Black, white, Asian, Hispanic, goddammit
That don't mean shit to me
Fuck your ethnicity, nigga
Fire burning inside my eyes
This the music that saved my life
Y'all be calling it hip-hop
I be calling it hypnotize
Yeah, hypnotize, trapped my body
But freed my mind
What the fuck are you fighting for?
Ain't nobody gon' win that war
My details be retail, man
I got so much in store
Racism is still alive
Yellow tape and colored lines
Fuck that, nigga, look at that line
It's so diverse they gettin' off work and
They wanna see Kendrick
Everybody can't drive Benzes, and
I been there, so I make it my business
To give 'em my full attention, ten hut, man
I gotta get my wind up
Man, I gotta get down with God
'cause I got my sins up, ooh
Matter fact
Don't mistake me for no fuckin' rapper
They sit backstage and hide
Behind them fuckin' cameras
I mosh pit, had a microphone and I tossed it
Had a brain, then I lost it
I'm out of my mind
So don't you mind how much the cost is
Penny for my thoughts, everybody
Please hold up your wallets
Yeah, man, I'm the mailman, can't you tell
Man? Gone postal
Never freeze up when I approach you
That's starstruck and roast you, oh my
HiiiPower
Reporting live from Planet Terminator X
I saw Martin Luther King with an AK-47
Now, I don't give a fuck if you
Black, white, Asian, Hispanic, goddammit
That don't mean shit to me
Fuck your ethnicity, nigga
I'm tired of y'all
'cause everybody lied to y'all
And you believe it? Recognize
Them false achievements
It's treason and I'm Tylenol
I knock out when you knock it off
Knock on the doors of opportunity
I'm too involved
I'm no activist, I'm no Einstein
Before calculus, I was kicking that math
Dropping that science like an alchemist and
I be kicking that ass lyrically, I'm UFC
If a UFO had came for me
I'ma come back with the head of an alien
Don't alienate my dreams
Get it right, get a life, I got two
That's a metaphor for the big shit I do
Boy, TMI, TSA, man, I'm fly
Put wings on my back
That a plane or an angel? Both
Like a pilot with a halo, woah gross
I mean, I've seen so many things come through
Them, him, her, you, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
I'm just a messenger
Yeah, I know life's a bitch
Get the best of her
Put them threes up, they notice that we up
HiiiPower and the power in the people
And if they don't believe us they'll die
Wizard
Now, I don't give a fuck if you
Black, white, Asian, Hispanic, goddammit
That don't mean shit to me
Fuck your ethnicity, nigga
I'm glad everybody came out tonight
