effex - american apartheid lyrics
[intro]
it’s effex
6 wheelz on the beat
let’s go
[verse 1]
i wake up
to a nation at odds
racism prospers, the population sobs
entertained by squads
suicides with bombs
but who am i to prod, i’m like a pagan to the gods
forsaken in my cause
mistaken for a bigot [huh]
light shade to my pigment
big gape in the spigot
the floodgates are open
hate separates us like plates in the ocean
some of us lean left, some of us far right
we’re coming to, touching on, hints of apartheid
we need a tour guide
trusted like a cronkite
a voice to unify us, but n0body want the spotlight
[hook]
step up, n0body wanna step up
step up, ain’t n0body wanna step up
step up, n0body gonna step up
step up, somebody better step up
[verse 2]
so we head into the future, prognosis unknown
but i don’t need a weather vane to know which way the wind blows
get low, latch the lock up on your windows
tiptoe, this ain’t no innuendo
the gringos
they coming for your kinfolk, its been known
see the peril in the skin tone
devil in the tinge shows
feral with a pig nose
ignorance grows, getting rid of our souls
we won’t need them
the hours getting late
the days are ticking on
parade thru streets, no floats for sitting on
no bands march in the never ending protest
its grotesque
arguing who know’s best
opponents in a lost fight, its what they want
divide and conquer, mo they stay on
attacking each other
fighting over breadcrumbs
my heads numb from bedlam
rich have got their web spun
extending thru the spectrum
stick it in your r-ct-m
but in the end you get none
i can tell you how it is
but you stay blind
i can show you the truth
but you pay it no mind
i can show you escape
but you prefer the binds
a puppet on a string to the system intertwined
trying to live above the times
but not above my means
i read between the lines but not liking what i see
[hook]
step up, n0body wanna step up
step up, ain’t n0body wanna step up
step up, n0body gonna step up
step up, somebody better step up
[verse 3]
i’m waking in the night
shaking in my skin, i can’t make nothing right
jäger with no chaser, now i’ma chase the light
trying to face the day, but my race is in the way
i got no place to stay in this nation full of hate
divided over choices, over votes, over voices
they looking at my skin
saying come join us
but it was never like that, at least for me i didn’t see it
in terms of white and black, i’m fighting back, best believe it
i’m gonna tilt the scales
we were built to fail
i was raised catholic, you know the guilt prevails
i don’t believe in deities, in leaders, icons
i believe in you and me, let bygones be bygones
setting up the tripod
record me before my times gone
misinformed thoughts, we in the dark with the lights on
ugh, in the dark with the lights on
we in the dark with the lights on
