Lowkey - Skit 4 (Soundtrack to the Struggle) lyrics
[Lowkey - Skit 4 Soundtrack to the Struggle lyrics]
You know what's interesting about
This whole idea of
This, this, this intolerance and this hate
And
This terrorism thing, I, I noticed from the
Debate the other, the other day from
It wasn't the debate actually
It was this conversation he had
It was this woman who said to
McCain "Obama is an Arab" (right)
And he said "No no no m'am he's not an Arab"
Oh I though this is
Wonderful he's repudiating
This kind of intolerance and hatred
He said "No no he's not an Arab
He's a good man" (right, Laughter)
(He said he's a decent citizen)
Hold on, what if I said to you
What if someone said "I heard
He is a Jew" and I said
""No no he's not a Jew, he's alright"
(Laughter and Applause)
"I hear the guy's a catholic"
"Catholic? No, he's a, good decent guy"
(right, yeah) arab and good person are not
Antithetical as to one another
(right, that's that was, Applause)
This idea of
This prejudice that we've allowed to
Fester in this campaign
Where this, we've allowed this idea where
Denying the fact that Obama
Who yet is not an arab, nor is he a Muslim
We've allowed that denial to
Turn into the acceptance
Of both of those things as a
Legitimate slur, is really a problem
You know what I mean?
(But the irony of John Mccain)
These are slurs, these are
Category human beings
They are not slurs of people (Applause)
This whole idea of
This, this, this intolerance and this hate
And
This terrorism thing, I, I noticed from the
Debate the other, the other day from
It wasn't the debate actually
It was this conversation he had
It was this woman who said to
McCain "Obama is an Arab" (right)
And he said "No no no m'am he's not an Arab"
