Outis - f** Columbus lyrics

Let's try some sh** that I don't think anyone thought to do I'mma bring you back to like fourteen-hundred and ninety-two Chris Columbus got the go ahead to sail over the ocean blue So he came here and acted like a f**ing fool Looking for gold Cutting hands off of those who'd come low on the quotas he was told to impose Who knows where we'd be if Arawaks weren't deceased Dead from Europeans, suicide, hunger and disease Royalty, as per usual, doing what they please While the rest of us are struggling, falling to our knees How do these things keep happening? Why is this master cla** still active? I wish pacifists weren't so pa**ive And black incarceration wasn't so ma**ive And ma** incarceration wasn't so ma**ive I hope y'all keep this laceration loud and blasting Back to the point, man--f** Columbus I'm like 500 years too late f** Columbus, f** masters, f** racists f** all of them, thinking they sweet I'm blessed to be a part of lower-to-middle cla** Doing right, my conscience clean I must confess, it took a long time to get here, but thank god I thank god I'm me Yo, let me explain: when you're young, everything is dope I never wondered if we struggled, always thought we'd float Never saw mama feeling drama, trying to clear her throat Tears in her eyes, traumatized cause we f**ing broke Then I got older, the world got colder Thinking about myself, had a chip on my shoulder Rebellious hellion, trying to get my jelly in anything with a thick a** and no belly, then Once again, things changed around the time I was 16 Started to see the sh** different It's not just me on this motherf**er, so I guess I better figure out how I'mma fit in All of a sudden, epiphanies by the dozen: How I got this privilege when my dark skinned homie doesn't? Security stop me when I got a beard, I'm looking foreign Why can't she make choices for herself; cause she's a woman? And I could keep on going But you know it's just the same sh** that you've heard before But maybe it'll reach somebody if it f**ing flows Maybe they will pay attention if I spit it cause my skin ain't darker tinted And I come from where they come from, so they won't feel like I'm different Do you get it? I'll wait How you gonna act like black culture ain't great? How you gonna build a country on the work of slaves Then act like they don't deserve to live in what they made? Listen Black lives matter Just like natives before them and whoever comes after I'd die for my brothers, any color, race, what have you I want to stop the hate, y'all, (let's) recognize the pattern It ain't a color that we're fighting, it's the power Too few of us have any cause we didn't know it's ours Minorities marginalized and whites lumped in with masters Ignorance ain't bliss, they kick that sh** to keep you pa**ive Fear and isolation are just what they be wanting So I say keep this motherf**er bumping Don't nobody want to ride to something deep but weak So I'mma help you change the world, disturb the peace f** the man, f** the f**ing police f** race baiters, y'all don't know me And f** all of these haters, y'all don't know me I said f** all of these haters, y'all don't know me Outis
