"Race" Lyrics
Buy from iTunes: 
G-G-Gimme the beat now!
(Face the music) {repeat sample in song}
Lead line
If the air's a little thick in this room 2night
I reckon it's the result from an onslaught of separatist rookies
Overcome by this colorful sight
Talkin' so fast that even they
Talkin' so fast that even they don't know what they mean
Of all the things 2 base a rhyme
How is it that U every time regurgitate the racist lines that keep us apart?
Thank God this ain't Monopoly
U'd make us all go back 2 start
Chorus:
Race in the space I mark human
Race - face the music
We all bones when we dead
Race in the space I mark human
Cut me, cut U
Both the blood is red, I gotcha!
Race {x2}
Check it
Three seats over there's a lady black
Entrusted 2 her care is a little white girl
And the fact of the matter is
Before her mama or another kid at school
Tell her 'bout the fallacy that one race rules over the other
She'd be a much-better-off-left fool
If we never heard about the evils that those before us committed
Then how my dear, tell me now how my dear...
Tell me now how now would we know?
And th-th-the band say...
Chorus
Race {x2}
Down, down with H-I-S-T-O-R-Y
And all this BS propagandi
Keepin' U from me and me from U as we grow
I don't wanna know (I don't wanna know)
Why those before us hated each other
I'd rather believe they never did
I'd rather believe (I'd rather, I'd rather believe)
That there's hope 4 a kid
And if he imitates the best
I guess that's what I'll try 2 be
And I'ma let the rest dissolve with my guitar underneath the sea
Race
Face the music {x2}
Race in the space I mark human
Race - face the music
We all bones when we dead
Race in the space I mark human
Cut me, cut U
Both the blood is red
Get it? (Race)
Got it! (Race)
Face the music
(Race) {repeat}
I wanna top the rose petals that whisper sweet
Come on
