The Insanity of Racism
Joyner Lucas - I'm Not Racist
“I’m Not Racist” is about the disconnect
between white and black people in the United
States. Joyner raps from both sides of the
political climate between conservative and
the leftist.

Lyrics
With all due respect
I don't have pity for you black niggas,
that's the way I feel
Screamin' "Black Lives Matter"
All the black guys rather be deadbeats than
pay your bills
Yellin'
"Nigga this" and "Nigga that"
Call everybody "Nigga" and get a nigga mad
As soon as I say "Nigga" then everyone react
And wanna swing at me and call me racist
'cause I ain't black
Well pound that then
Talkin' about slavery like you was around
back then
Like you was pickin' cotton off the fuckin'
ground back then
Like you was on the plantation gettin' down
back then
Aight, look
I see a
black man aimin' his gun
But I'd rather see a black man claimin' his
son
And I don't mean just for one day and you
done
I mean, you still trapped in a rut
And I work my ass off and I pay my taxes
for what?
So you can keep livin' off free government
assistance?
Food stamps for your children, but you're
still tryna sell 'em
For some weed and some liquor or a fuckin'
babysitter
While
you party on the road 'cause you ain't got
no fuckin' goals?
You already late
You motherfuckas needa get your damn
priorities straight
Wait, it's like you're proud to be fake
But you lazy as fuck and you'd rather sell
drugs
Than get
a job and be straight,
and then you turn around and complain
About the poverty rate? Fuck outta my face!
You can't escape problems
You can pray for some change but can't break
a dollar
Got nobody else to blame, so you blame
Donald
"They fuck the world with a Make America
Great condom"
My voice been back
I'm not racist, my sister's boyfriend's
black
I'm not racist, my sister-in-law's baby
cousin Tracy
Got a brother and his girlfriend's black
My head's in the cloud
Heard there's not enough jobs for all the
men in your house
Maybe we should build a wall to keep the
Mexicans out
Or maybe we should send 'em all to the
ghetto for now
I'm not racist, and I never lie
But I think there's a disconnect between
your culture and mine
I worship the Einsteins, study the Steve
Jobs
But you ride 2Pac's dick like he was a
fuckin' god, oh my god!
And all you care about is rappin'
And stuntin' and bein ratchet, and that's
the nigga within you
Music rotting your brain and slowly start to
convince you
Then you let your kids listen and then the
cycle continues
Blame it all on the menu, blame it on
those drinks
Blame it on everybody except for your own
race
Blame it on white privileges, blame it on
white kids
And just blame it on white citizens,
same with the vice president
Bunch of class clowns
Niggas kneelin' on the field, that's a flag
down
How dare you try to make demands for this
money?
You gon' show us some respect, you gon'
stand for this country,
nigger!
I'm not racist
I'm just prepared for this type of war
I heard Eminem's rap at the awards, who's he
fightin' for?
Y'all can take that motherfucker too, he
ain't white no more
It's like you wanna be so famous
You'll do anything for attention and a
little payment
I can't take you nowhere without people
pointin' fingers
Pants
hangin' off your ass, you ain't got no home
trainin'?
Put your
fuckin' pants up, nigga!
Put that suit back on!
Take that du-rag off! Take that gold out
your mouth!
Quit the pitiful stuff
And then maybe police would stop killin' you
fucks
Yo, what the fuck?! I'm not racist
It's like we livin' in the same buildin' but
split into two floors
I'm not racist
But there's two sides to every story, I wish
that I knew yours...
I wish that I knew yours
I'm not racist, I swear
[Verse 2]
With all disrespect
I don't really like you white motherfuckers,
that's just where I'm at
Screaming "All Lives Matter"
Is a protest to my protest, what kind of
shit is that?
And that's one war you'll never win
The power in the word "Nigga" is a different
sin
We shouldn't say it but we do, and that just
what it is
But that don't mean that you can say it just
'cause you got nigga friends
Nigga, that word was originated for you to
keep us under
And when we use it, we know that's just how
we greet each other
And when you use it, we know there's a
double meaning under
And even if I wasn't picking cotton
physically
That don't mean I'm not affected by the
history
My grandmomma was a slave, that shit gets to
me
And you ain't got no motherfucking sympathy,
you pussy nigga!
I'm sorry you can never feel my life
Tryna have faith, but I never felt alright
It's hard to elevate when this country's ran
by whites
Judging me by my skin color and my blackness
Tryna find a job but ain't nobody call me
back yet
Now I gotta sell drugs to put food in my
cabinet
You crackers ain't slick, this is all a part
of your tactics
Don't talk about no motherfucking taxes,
when I ain't making no dough
You think you know everything but you don't
You wanna copy our slang and everything that
we know
Tryna steal black culture and then make it
your own, whoa
Fuck, I'm exhausted
I can't even drive without the cops tryna
start shit
I'm tired of the systematic racism bullshit
All you do is false shit, this the shit that
I'm forced with
And you don't know shit about my people,
that's what bothers you
You don't know about no fried chicken and no
barbeque
You don't know about the two-step or no
loose change
You don't know about no 2 Chainz or no
Kool-Aid, you don't know!
And even though Barack was half as black
You hated president Obama, I know that's a
fact
You couldn't wait to get him out and put a
cracker back
And then you gave us Donald Trump and now
it's payback for that
I'm not racist, I never lied
But I know there's a disconnect between your
culture and mine
Yeah, I praise 2Pac like he was a fuckin'
god
He was fighting for his life way before he
fuckin' died, nigga, die nigga!
And all you care about is money and power
And being ugly and
that's the cracker within you
Hatred all in your brain, it slowly start to
convince you
And then you teach it to your children until
the cycle continue
Blame it on Puerto Rico, blame it on OJ
Blame it on everybody, except for your own
race
Blame it on black niggas and blame it on
black citizens
Aim at the black businesses, I ain't saying
I'm innocent
But, I might be any day now
Treatin' everybody how you want and any way
how
I swear North Korea 'bout to bomb us any day
now
And now I'm duckin' everytime I hear a
fuckin' plane now, shit
You know I make a lot of sense but you just
can't admit it
When Eminem went against Trump, that was the
illest
'Cause even though he's white, he let us
know he standin' with us
I'm not racist, but I cry a lot
You don't know what it's like to be in a
frying pot
You don't know what it's like to mind your
business
And get stopped by the cops and not know if
you 'bout to die or not
You worry 'bout your life, so you take mine
I love you but I fuckin' hate you at the
same time
I wish
we could trade shoes or we could change
lives
So we could understand each other more but
that'd take time
I'm not racist
It's
like we livin' in the same buildin' but
splittin' the both sides
I'm not racist
But there's two sides to every story and now
you know mine
Never Miss Another Story |
