Erase Racism

Lyrics

[Intro: Biz Markie & Kool G Rap] Yo, V, bring that beat in Yeah, that's aight Ahhh, man! Yo, G, yo, Kool G, yo I'm doin' this right here We got Big Daddy Kane over there We all gonna do just one part Because you know, we came a long way You know, from back in Martin Luther King days, Malcolm X Ain't hard to tell Now, now, now that we see Nelson N-Nelson Mandela's free! We gonna talk about this, we gonna talk about this racism Stop that! You know what I'm sayin'? We gonna stop that So G, why don't you just do your rhymin' part And then I'll come on after you Aight, check it out, here we go [Verse 1: Kool G Rap] Yo, I'm tryin' hard to explore I'm not sure what are the racial wars for It's makin' me more sore I walk through a color blind corridor Seekin' for peace in the people I'm meetin' Black, white and Puerto Rican men are greetin' each other Just like brothers, there's plenty and many of others You can discover; kids, fathers and mothers A melting pot, no one felt they got prejudiced Listen, I could never assist someone diss this A landscape, with a dark and a light handshake Havin' fun, without one bein' a fake snake So let's form a rainbow over the mountain And let's drink from the same water fountain Let's make our Earth Days a story of People that walk through the same territories Color or creed, there's no need for a man to bleed I believe we all breathe the same seed Unless it's diluted, for somethin' to intrude it Then I see your family tree was uprooted So don't be foolish if you're Jewish or Hindu The racial manual is the evil that men do I was raised in a Nation of Asian Hate shouldn't separate Jamaican from Haitian So if you're givin' in your ears, I hope your hear me and Siberian's no better than Nigerian I bring a rattle to a battle that you see me in I'm no villain, so why would I be killin' Indians? My nationality's reality And yo, a prejudiced man is of a devil mentality These are words of a wise man, wisdom! Take a taste and erase the racism [Hook: Biz Markie] The ink is black, the page is white Together, we learn how to read and write People are black, got people that's white Let's stop racism, and let's unite [Bridge: Biz Markie] Yo, yo, Kane, why don't you do your part And then let me do mine and then we get outta here Go ahead, bet! [Verse 2: Big Daddy Kane] In the days of slavery Some got to run away, and many got done away Inferiority is what some men say But that shit played out with Kunta Kinte Then again, in the streets of New York I think of Yusef Hawkins, and I see you're still stalkin' And when I think of areas like Bensonhurst Huh! Notice how I mentioned hearse We gotta better this world of prejudice People — make peace and learn to live equal 'Cause I don't look at myself as a Coon or a mooley that would have to say "Massa" You better believe that I'm an Asiatic descendant And I know what's been amended and intended So let's fulfill and get real And try to build a united nation, eliminate segregation I know there's different strokes for different folks But I also acknowledge what hatred provokes So don't hate me or try to underrate me 'Cause I collect ends, drive a Benz and live greatly And we can all live together in harmony Without thinkin' what color is harmin' me If I'm a slave, I'm a slave to the rhythm To E-R-A-S-E the racism [Hook] The ink is black, the page is white Together, we learn how to read and write Some people are black, there's people that's white Let's stop racism, and, let's unite [Outro: Biz Markie] To the black and the white, the red and the yellow To all the nationalities, I'd like to say hello And I hope they stop racism, and it's comin' from our hearts Me, Kool G Rap, Polo, Big Daddy Kane, Cool V And of course, the Diabolical one Biz Markie I hope ya stop racism Peace!
