Ras Kass, Immortal Technique - White Power lyrics
[Ras Kass, Immortal Technique - White Power lyrics]
Greenspan runs this country he's a Jew
White trash white power
White trash white power
White power, white power
White power, white power
White power, white power
White power, white power white power
White power is creatin' hate where
At first there was none
From Chinese gun powder
The invention of the gun
From ancient Egypt, still, civilization
Then used miseducation to rewrite creation
De-Africanize the Sphinx and re-white
His face and
Displace the race and be quite complacent
We livin' in a real District 9
Master race convince other people
To de humanize
White power is against world peace
It'd rather cut the world in pieces
Let every European nation make
Colonies after natives defeated
Monopolize every natural resource
And bleed it white power is not freedom
White power is the semen
That implies dark-skinned people inferior
To light people
The same demon that conquered
And raped other cultures
Got the children of the rapists thinkin'
They're better than they brothers
So all around the world from
America to the Outback
White power prefers we be without black
I got nothin' but love for my Latinos
But Puerto Rico
Why deny your heritage is negro?
White power is Spain conquerin' Asians
Renamed Filipinos
Teach 'em to mistreat the indigenous
They called Negritos (Nigga)
But they really the same
People, if you darker, you less equal
So you got lighter-skinned Indians treated
Better than the darker
Same thing Brazil, Mexico, Jakarta
Black Cubans, or so-called, "Just Cuban"
When genetically you the same race
And we all just human
White power is foolin' you
And idolizes it'self
Makes you a second class citizen
While it takes your wealth
White power is self hate
And Stockholm syndrome
So as I knock on your dome, you are not home
Perception is the power that
Racial hatred devours
Cowards rewrote the history that is ours
Conquest is the sweet smell
Of a poisonous flower
The slave master is the savage
In the final hour
Perception is what white power relies on
Racial division, the system to build lies on
There is only one human race that exists
I reclaim the past when I raise my fist
White power is forty-one million blacks
Tryna escape the ghetto
Crabs in a barrel that push Maybach pedals
Youngsters blast metal for iced-out bezels
13-year-old girls in 6-inch stilettos
Name every exotic car brand
To upscale apparel but barely read and write
On a fifth-grade level
Blame they condition on
Some mythological devil
With red skin, two horns, and a pitchfork
Two hundred years
We bottom on the food chain
Think white power did it on
Accident? You's a new slave
White power prefers the middle class
Better runnin' the economy
Pay lower wages to the women than minorities
Create COINTELPRO, Jim Crow
Send police dogs on children 'cause
We march for equality
It's the War on Crime, the War on Terror
White supremacists who refuse to
Look in the mirror
White power instigates black power
And brown pride
Locks 'em in prison and make
Sure that they collide
Says the inner city ignorant
But they the ones who taught us
Says go back to Africa when they
The ones who brought us
White power wants more walls
And more border patrol
But white power stole the
Southwest from Mexico hate immigrants
But they've all immigrated from Europe
Neo Nazis claimin' they blood the purest
A false racial superiority
False sense of purity
'Cause all mankind came from
Little African pygmies
So every genetic possibility is in me
Blue eyes, blonde hair, Aryan, Asian
Syrian, Armenian, but in the end
White power taught the world to
Despise the black man
But still want his bitch with full lips
Round ass and a nice tan, nice plan
See, white power is conflicted
It hates who it loves
It imitates who it denigrates to
Escape who it was
Took a African religion in plain sight, man
By the 1500's
Jesus Christ became a white man
And when it suit's it's goal
Have you on the front line fightin'
White power is the emcee who
Keeps switchin' his hype man
Sri Lanka versus India, Tutsi versus Hutu
Palestinian versus Jew, nigga, you, too
Perception is the power that
Racial hatred devours
Cowards rewrote the history that is ours
Conquest is the sweet smell
Of a poisonous flower
The slave master is the savage
In the final hour
Perception, that's what white
Power relies on
War's the foundation capitalism lies on
The battlefield the American soldier dies on
From Basra, Kandahar, Mogadishu to Saigon
Why do we hate?
We hate because we're taught to hate
We hate because we're ignorant
We're the product of ignorant people who
Had been taught an ignorant
Thing which is that there are
Four or five different races
There are not four or five different races
There's only one race on
The face of the Earth and we're
All members of that race, the human race
But we have separated people into races
So that some of us
Can see ourselves as superior to the others
We thought it would work, I guess
But it hasn't and has been bad for everyone
White trash white power
White trash white power
White power, white power
White power, white power
White power, white power
White power, white power white power
White power is creatin' hate where
At first there was none
