Chorus:
Racist faces
One who cases
A person's color
But calls you brother
Or bro or however it goes
Do you even know
Or are you just going with the flow
Then you use the N Word
Where it can't be heard
Behind backs
And it lacks
Integrity and honesty
You're not a friend to me
Verse 1:
The kids are listening
Watching your example
And the hate you spew
Is more than ample
To create a racist
Look at their faces
Looking for clues
Trying to be like you
God made us all the same
So your excuses are just a game
To hide your baseless hate
But you ought to have more faith
In the One above
And His love
Chorus:
Racist faces
One who cases
A person's color
But calls you brother
Or bro
Or however it goes
Do you even know
Or are you just going with the flow
Then you use the N Word
Where it can't be heard
Behind backs
And it lacks
Integrity and honesty
You're not a friend to me
Rap:
His name doesn't start with an N
It's starts with an A
And don't think I don't know the things that you say
I see through you
Like X ray vision
If you want to be a racist
That's your decision
I don't believe in Achilles
But you're a heel
Because you don't know what it's like to be real
You think you're better than me
When I'm smarter than you
And not because I'm black
But because you lack
Common sense and are on both sides of the fence
If you hate black people so much
Then why do you tan?
And why are you that black athlete's #1 fan?
Grinning and smiling right in his face
When you know you use the N Word inside your place
Just imagine if he heard
You use the N Word
In the privacy of your home
When you feel you're all alone
Or at least you think you are
But God is where you are
Out of respect for the men and women who died
And the ones who struggled and tried
To create a better world
For every boy and girl
You shouldn't use that word
It should not be heard
You disrespect their blood
With your speech
When you go on to tell and teach
Your kids that it's okay
To be the same way
But it's not
And just in case you forgot
Martin Luther King
Let freedom ring
Lincoln freed the slaves
Now you're spitting on their graves
With a slur that you confer
To black people
Who in God's Eyes are your equals
I know everyone doesn't think this way
And it's only some who say…
The N word
Where it can't be heard
Behind backs
And it lacks
Integrity and honesty
You're not a friend to me
You're not a friend to me
