Special Teamz - Race Riot lyrics

Special Teamz we here now

In Boston, it's two heads we facing
Growing up with school
Segregation, it's cool
 this is the spot I was placed in
I got bust to white fools
Picketing outside of Boston
Public High Schools
Yeah,  so I would crush a white dude
If he talked shit
I had to duck when them rocks hit
'Til then, it was a mystery
It's part of my history
Looked at people differently
Went heavy on the black boy mentally
That's how it's meant to be
Now I know who's my enemy
No white boy befriended me
It's crazy, son, 'til '81
I met H-IP H-O-P, the change begun


Roxbury, chances are I might face prison
Breakdancing, I was rocking against racism
It's the beat, one rhythm
Give the kids something to take with 'em
We got stake in 'em

So now we came here to save
You from the snake's venom
Exposing the real and taking all
The fake with 'em

This is Hip-Hop music that we blasting
Right? This is one world spinning
And we black and white
This is our world now when we pass the mic
This is our race riot we don't have to fight
Put your fist in the air if you down with us
Put your fist in the air and surround the bus
'Cause look around
This musta been what he seen
When Martin Luther King had a dream

I grew up in a black and
White world in a segregated city
With a shitty history, this is a pity
With the legacy of vicious and
Petty people in every corner
Tensions thick in the air and
Weighing heavy on ya
Blacks referred usually n-word
When they talk hoops
Racism been learned in a home, not a mom
But the nan's polluting the
School kid's rotten mind
Say gook, spook, whitey, cracker, hater
Chink man, I'm telling you I heard it
All from A to zinc
It's like the ignorant are teaching
Us the way to think but personally me, man
I'm moving onto greater things
My son will not say "Edo's someone I hate"
White, they will be much bigger
They will stand behind tolerance and
Not behind a trigger
The math makes too much sense
Add up the figure

This is Hip-Hop music that we blasting
Right? This is one world spinning
And we black and white
This is our world now when we pass the mic
This is our race riot we don't have to fight
Put your fist in the air if you down with us
Put your fist in the air and surround the bus
'Cause look around
This musta been what he seen
When Martin Luther King had a dream

No matter if you're Catholic, Hindu
Or Christian the race mixed and it's
Taboo causing friction
Since before G gordon Liddy and Nixon got
Caught trying to escape from Watergate
Holding their dicks if you Melatto
They consider you half jig-a boo
A nigga who had the evil negro trait's
They're hitting to a point where visible
And life walking a tight rope
Between both sides is miserable
He looks Hispanic, his lips gigantic
And is stressed to infest the mind's Titanic
Niggas don't really accept you
Except who watch you arm wrestle with
The fact that you're special
White people look amazed and astounded
Invite the coon over
Show the kids that we're rounded
You're multi-ethnic, interracial
Don't nobody knows which category
To place you

There will be neither rest
Nor tranquillity in America
Until the bright day of Justice emerges
We are not satisfied and we will not be
Satisfied until justice rolls down like water
I have a dream that one day
This Nation will rise up
We hold these truths to be self-evident
That all men are created equal
