I been in this land for years, they see me as an animal
Time to end these racist lies, just read a manual
A step by step booklet for you to get
Time we learned how to be anti-racist
Dr. Kendi laid out the blueprint of how to do it
You wanna be an antiracist this is how you pursue it
Said it ain’t just good enough to say what you ain’t
You gotta do the work, box that hate out the paint
Start by checking yourself why you got those fears
Look at who’s been teaching you those racist ideas
White hate black, black hate white, black hate black
When it comes to being racist we should all step back
And check it all from how we police clothing and behavior
To how our system’s based off the need for a white savior
From power and body to class and biology
The racist roots of society is our biography
But it ain’t gotta be just because it’s how it was
We can’t keep the status quo just because
With our future on the line I believe that it’s time
To look in the mirror start to change our design
Rule nombre uno:
Gotta let people know
The racist views you hold
And how you plan to let em go
#2: here’s a good next move
Get a good reading list that challenges your views
#3: Never trust nobody
Who says they ain’t racist when actions speak loudly
#4: Know you heard this before
“Some of my best friends are black” don’t say that no more
#5: you don’t want racism to stay alive
Learn how it all started then make sure that it dies
#6: post-racial rhetoric, forget it
Think voting for Obama stopped racism, forget it
#7: this rule is so underrated
Understand why our neighborhoods are still segregated
’cause money and race don’t mix
Like Trump havin’ real ethics
Find yourself impeached real quick
#8: Never keep no hate in you
Exorcise it all costs maybe lose some friends too
#9 shoulda been number one to me
Know from day one we been a racist society
#10: a strong word called “alignment”
Get with like-minded people is your next assignment
Follow these rules your racism starts to shake up
If not, maybe hundred more years until we wake up!
