Race -
Did it start the big debate, in 2008?
He’s not my president
Show me his papers.
Why don’t we impeach him
Silence all the haters.
Take back our country
Those thieves took it.
Yes we can!
Tea Partiers have a plan.
Fox News or Msnbc
Which one defines me?
If I tell you my truth
Will you corner me in a booth?
Take off that turban.
What are you hiding in that Suburban?
Blow yourself up and go to heaven
72 virgins, or is it 77?
Go back to where you came from and leave us be
To be free,
Where I can be me,
Live my dreams,
Not fear you’ll punish me.
But who said this is your home
Where were your grandparents born?
Did they arrive on Ellis Island
Travel from the Highlands?
Maybe they worked the plantations
Or lived on reservations?
40 acres and a mule
Un-kept promises, your rule.
There you go again
Playing the race card.
Blaming me once more
For your life being so hard.
That email you sent was funny.
Should I be offended
Tell you not to re-send it?
Let’s just keep it between us
No apologies will later be discussed.
Oh what the hell!
Red Man, yellow man, black man, Jew,
Towel head, cracker, spik, coon.
Did I cover all the bases
Include all the races?
Oh, I said something wrong?
Don’t like the lyrics to my song?
But it’s okay for him to say it -
Why not label him a racist?
Good cop bad cop
On your knees!
Please don’t shoot, officer -
They’ll say you profiled me.
A nation divided
Our opinions two sided.
Everything about race,
Case by case,
Judging me by my face.
Will there ever come a time
When we can both stand in line?
Neither the two disapproving
Wouldn’t that be moving?
