"Racism Is A Killa" lyrics
(feat. Big Boi)
[Big Boi (Ziggy Marley):]
Yeah, let's go
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Ziggy Marley:]
Racism is a killa
Racism is a killa
Racism is a killa
Hard to detect in the early stages until the symptoms are seen
The only way to get rid of it, inject equality
Who feels and knows it, their experience is real
Oh, some people I've got that ever disease
Their hearts are rejected, their minds are infected
And if you think you're coming down with it, see the good doctor, please
Leave the tension, the antidote is free
Clinically proven, it's the only remedy
Humanization is all that humanized
'Cause when we protect each other, no virus can survive
The doctor just diagnoses, everything's gonna be alright
There's still some infections, but the numbers on our side
You know we got the medicine, side effect will make you feel high
Yeah, we'll keep on getting up in it, 'cause love keep us alive
Now we're slowing the spread of that awful disease
And there is no question, just science is real
[Big Boi:]
Yeah, 2026, bear witness at the racist mix
Like Kool-Aid and sugar, but ain't shit sweet 'bout the patriots
Or maybe it's just me though, the black and brown people
Numbers ain't adding up in the census 'cause shit's equal
'Cause one proper black make a brown
I'm thinking that's why ICE is moving 'round
Removing melanin, not felons and criminals from your towns and cities
Who fuckin' with me? Put that (Put that), in the mic', screamin'
"Africa unite", then pull out gently in the Lincoln
I'm thinkin', I'm in deep thought
The story knows your brought us over here so we can be bought
And sold for some cheap labor, but now that we made it
You wanna cleanse the neighborhood of all the black flavor
[Ziggy Marley:]
Peace is the way to life, tell me, who will survive?
Yeah, peace is the way to life, tell me, will you survive?
Oh yeah
No, you can't rewrite history, but you can make things right
Oh yeah
Hey, we just wanna get together and have a good time
By the dawn's early light
Everybody now
Racism, we gon' beat you (That's right, that's right)
Racism, we gon' beat you (Alright, alright, alright)
Racism, we'll defeat you (That's right, that's right)
Racism is a killa (Yeah, yeah, check it, check it)
Racism is a killa (That's why, that's why, that's why)
Racism, we gon' beat you (Yeah, yeah, don't try)
Racism, we gon' beat you (Don't try, don't try, don't try)
Racism, we'll defeat you (Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry)
Racism is a killa (That's right, that's right)
Racism is a killa (Uh, uh, that's why, that's why)
Racism, we gon' beat you (Don't try, don't try)
Racism, we gon' beat you
Racism, we gon' beat you (That's right, that's right)
Racism, we gon' beat you
Racism is a killa (Uh, uh, that's why, that's why)
Yeah, let's go
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
