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 nobody want the spotlight [Hook] Step up, Nobody wanna step up Step up, ain't nobody wanna step up Step up, nobody 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 rectum 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, Nobody wanna step up Step up, ain't nobody wanna step up Step up, nobody 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
