I said, You said

Race -

Did it start the big debate, in 2008?

 

He’s not my president

Show me his papers.

Why don’t we impeach him

Silence all the haters.

 

Take back our country

Those thieves took it.

Yes we can!

Tea Partiers have a plan.

 

Fox News or Msnbc

Which one defines me?

If I tell you my truth

Will you corner me in a booth?

 

Take off that turban.

What are you hiding in that Suburban?

Blow yourself up and go to heaven

72 virgins, or is it 77?

 

Go back to where you came from and leave us be

To be free,

Where I can be me,

Live my dreams,

Not fear you’ll punish me.

 

But who said this is your home

Where were your grandparents born?

Did they arrive on Ellis Island

Travel from the Highlands?

 

Maybe they worked the plantations

Or lived on reservations?

40 acres and a mule

Un-kept promises, your rule.

 

There you go again

Playing the race card.

Blaming me once more

For your life being so hard.

 

That email you sent was funny.

Should I be offended

Tell you not to re-send it?

Let’s just keep it between us

No apologies will later be discussed.

 

Oh what the hell!

 

Red Man, yellow man, black man, Jew,

Towel head, cracker, spik, coon.

Did I cover all the bases

Include all the races?

 

Oh, I said something wrong?

Don’t like the lyrics to my song?

But it’s okay for him to say it -

Why not label him a racist?

 

Good cop bad cop

On your knees!

Please don’t shoot, officer -

They’ll say you profiled me.

 

A nation divided

Our opinions two sided.

Everything about race,

Case by case,

Judging me by my face.

 

Will there ever come a time

When we can both stand in line?

Neither the two disapproving

Wouldn’t that be moving?
