Super Smack, Mega Ran - BXG (Black X Gold) lyrics

This goes out to all the folks
Who only see this world in monochrome
One color at a time
All the colors get in line
One hashtag a year, and they call it woke?

No oh oh
That's about as true as Fyre Festival
'Cause we got a system to dismantle
And when the pain of a race is not a race
That's a much better system
That'll take it's place

I heard united we stand, divided we fall
And injustice for one is injustice for all
It’s not just quotes but
A challenge for folks
Who talk big and come up small all y’all
Watching documentaries and seeing the pain
You got to spot that energy
And keep it the same
It ain’t a contest, cause we all got stress
But with solidarity we make progress

Black and Gold, Black and Gold

Here's something everybody here should know

Black and Gold, Black and Gold

They can’t touch us when we link elbows

Black and Gold, Black and Gold

Stand unified, you are never alone

Black and Gold, Black and Gold
Black and Gold

We all recall Latasha Harlins
The subsequent protests, the cops, the arson
That all could’ve stopped with one word
(Guilty)

A riot is the language of the unheard

So protect your peace and I recommend
(Respect ya friends) but also
Check your friends through the struggles
The conflicts and failed experiments
We notice (What's that?) a shared experience

So I'm callin' out the Asian cop
Who stood there while George's
Breathe got stopped and to the mom'n'pops
Who scared when Black folks enter their shops

That's some bull that we need to drop

Rest In Peace

Vicha Ratanapakdee
Shame on anyone who harm the Asian elderly
If you’re harassing Asian women when
They’re on the street

Step aside, you're in the way of peace

Black and Gold, Black and Gold

Here's something everybody here should know

Black and Gold, Black and Gold

They can’t touch us when we link elbows

Black and Gold, Black and Gold

Stand unified, you are never alone

Black and Gold, Black and Gold
Black and Gold

So you wanna be an ally well shall I
Offer you a little bit of advice?
On behalf of Asians all the Yellow, Brown
And Gold
Inject your solidarity, with a bit of soul

And check in with your non-Asian friends
See if they got plans, to better understand
What they all need to mend
No more fetishizing our women
Emasculating our men
And put us in more movies (Amen)

My friends
If you’re traumatized, don’t forget to cry
It’s quite natural to feel desensitized

But we’ll defeat the lies
They ‘bout to see us rise
And meanwhile let your joy fly

So come on
Get loud like we’re bangin' on pots and pans

Take note
'cause we doin things of consequence

Yo Ran
I think our people make awesome friends

‘Cause we came from the
Two biggest continents

Black and Gold, Black and Gold

Here's something everybody here should know

Black and Gold, Black and Gold

They can’t touch us when we link elbows

Black and Gold, Black and Gold

Stand unified, you are never alone

Black and Gold, Black and Gold
Black and Gold
