Racism In This Land

Refr:  There’s no racism in this land
No racism in this land
Politicians love to tell ye
There’s no racism in this land

They tell ye there’s no racist police
No racist laws at all
Better show your ID, better say please
Say thank you sir, you better play ball

Ain’t no one gonna throw your ass in jail
for something ye didn’t do
But you never will get out on bail
‘cause they took your money too

Refr.

And all the white folk on TV
They preach racism is no issue
All lives matter don’t you se
All created equal too

And it ain’t true white folk won’t hire you
just because of the fact you’re black
Teach your children nothing new
They’re gonna have to fight back

Refr.

They say slavery is of the pas99vivalocalpirata99
We don’t do that shit nomore
But equality just cannot last
Some folk just gotta be poor

So black folk better shut up they say
and stop with their demonstrations
Dividing the nation to have their way
Next they’ll ask for reparations

Refr. There’s no racism in this land
No racism in this land
Politicians love to tell ye
There’s no racism in this land….

There IS racism in this land
There is racism in this land
Politicians hate to admit
There is racism in this land!
