Erase Racism

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] You know, now now that we see

Nelson N-Nelson Mandela's free

We gonna talk about this, is e 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, yo)

I'm tryin' hard to explore, I'm not sure

What all the racial war 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 meltin' pot, no one felt they got prejudice

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 Day a story of

People that walk through the same territories

Color or creed, is 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

[Chorus]

The ink is black, the page is white

Together we learn how to read and write

People are black, got people that's white

LYo 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] You know, now now that we see

Nelson N-Nelson Mandela's free

We gonna talk about this, is he 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, yo)

[Verse One: Kool G Rap]

I'm tryin' hard to explore, I'm not sure

What all the racial war for

It's makin' me more sore

Just like brothers, there's plenty and many of others

[Chorus]

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

(Yo yo Kane, why don't you do your part and then let me do mine .

And then we get outta here go head, bet)

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 barriers like Bensonhurst

Huh, notice how I mentioned hearse

We got to 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've also acknowledged 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

[Chorus]

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 Bizmarkie I hope ya stop racism

Peace

(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)

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'
