Minority Report

There is nothing minor about me

So never call me minority

Put your deck of race cards on the table and play the game right

When you say minority, you really mean not white

 

There is nothing minor about me

Don’t form your lips to say minority

Like it or not, what’s right is right

There’s nothing minor about not being white

 

A person’s contributions are not truly based

On his color, skin tone or his race

Though you try to portray that as reality

This behavior is the desire for white supremacy

 

When I co-founded America with free labor for years

And fought the British to create this new nation, without tears

There was nothing minor about my actions or words

There is still nothing minor, let these thoughts be heard

 

When I set the foundation of the United States

When I did what was necessary to make my country great

There was no one saying it was no big deal

My contributions were major, vital and real

 

A person’s contributions are not truly based

On his color, skin tone or his race

Though you try to portray that as reality

This behavior is the desire for white supremacy

 

Using manipulated statistics and numbers counts

Americans not white you try to discount

They’re set up to be harassed and then disrespected

In the minority report your actions are reflected

 

When they go to get medical care

Some doctors simply just don’t care

We ask ourselves how can this be

The doctors are thinking minority

 

An American not white wants some kind of service

There’s a debate about whether or not they deserve it

They are Americans bottom line so how can this be

Because we're thinking minority

And then we see law un-enforcement

Breaking the law, such as racial profiling

How can they do these un-American things

They say it’s minor, while smirking and smiling

 

And the four branches of government continue to perpetrate

This ridiculous racial classification

Newspapers, television, media wide

And in the laws across this, our nation

 

Everyday they say it’s not ok

To divide the country by race

And then they do exactly that

They put the minority machine in place

 

It obvious some want to use this word

As a means that they’ve decided

To help ensure Americans

Stay racially divided

 

But there is nothing minor about me

Never call me minority

Let everyone on this planet know

The label minority has got to go

 

You don’t need a clue, you know this is true

Yes you know, without any doubt

Just like all the other white supremacists labels

Minority has simply played out

 

There is nothing minor about me

So never call me minority

Put your deck of race cards on the table, play the game right

When you say minority, you really mean not white

 

There is nothing minor about me

So never call me minority

Like it or not, what’s right is right

There’s nothing minor about not being white

 

There’s nothing minor about me

So do not call me minority

How long will it take you to relent and see

I'm an American - not a minority!
