Hitler Day

Lyrics

[Intro] "Five hundred years ago one man claimed to have discovered a new world. Five centuries later, we the people are forced to celebrate a Black Holocaust." "How can you call a takeover a discovery?" [Verse 1: Chuck D] Mass murderer, this side of the planet Most people take it for granted Five hundred and two, and still doin' Give a reason I'm hatin', October celebratin' The dead of the black the brown and red Sick and tired of being sick and tired Don't jump to conclusions before I clear the confusion Ashes to ashes, dust to dust I'm talkin' bout' Columbus, hit me off [Chorus: Chuck D & Flavor Flav] "I don't hate nobody" But this day's as crazy as Hitler Day "I don't hate nobody" But this day's as crazy as Hitler day (crazy) "I don't hate nobody" But this day's as crazy as Hitler Day "I don't hate nobody" But this day's as crazy as Hitler Day (crazy) [Verse 2: Chuck D] Hangin' heads and snappin' necks Splittin' up kin, makin' families wrecked Turned this planet to a sewer Provin' to all just a lil' grab, will do ya' Or do us, so my disgust Got credit from the ones that read it Ain't blind to the fact of a wack headline And if you didn't, pay the paper no mind [Pre-Hook 1: Chuck D & Flavor Flav] That's how I feel That's how you feel? That's how I feel That's how you feel? That's how I feel That's how you feel? That's how I feel Yo, shit is mad real [Chorus: Chuck D & Flavor Flav] "I don't hate nobody" But this day's as crazy as Hitler Day "I don't hate nobody" But this day's as crazy as Hitler Day (crazy) [Bridge] My, my, my, my Celebrate my Good old days go by [Verse 3: Chuck D] Some thanks for the givin' when times are hard And some got the nerve to pray to God It ain't about that turkey that get me sick It's that take from the Indian trick Lookin' pretty grim when they takin' the pill From the slavin' sucker seekin' somethin' to kill Now he got a day to celebrate, ain't that a trip Cause the Indians ain't got shit [Pre-Hook 2: Flavor Flav & Chuck D] Let em know, let em know Tell 'em 'bout it, now ("I don't hate nobody") Let em know, let em know ("I don't hate nobody") Let em know, let em know Tell 'em 'bout it, now ("I don't hate nobody") Let em know [Verse 4: Chuck D] May 31st when it comin' it hurts Remember the dead and it makes me curse When they don't include 100 million of us black folks That died in the bottom of boats I can carry on 'bout the killin' till dusk and dawn But war ain't the reason they gone [Verse 5: Chuck D] Fourth of July, a goddamn lie When did we ever get a piece of the pie? I gotta whole day comin' without no pay Cause a job can't gimme no play Even had enough I huff and puff At brothers sellin' the stuff I'm takin' in Washington's, Lincolns, and not their birthdays Payback for 'em makin' us slaves [Pre-Hook 1] And that is real (That's how you feel) And that is real (That's how you feel) And that is real (That's how you feel) And that is real Shit is mad real [Chorus: Chuck D & Flavor Flav] "I don't hate nobody" But this day's as crazy as Hitler Day "I don't hate nobody" But this day's as crazy as Hitler Day (crazy) "I don't hate nobody" But this day's as crazy as Hitler Day "I don't hate nobody" But this day's as crazy as Hitler Day (crazy) [Outro: Samples] "I don't hate nobody" "I don't hate nobody" "I don't hate nobody" "I don't hate nobody" "We don't hate nobody because of their color—we hate oppression"
