In the states there's a problem with Race because of ignorant past burned fires From evolution we've been killing each other I figure man should have it down to a science No chance, not for a minute Not for a second I won't be defensive I'm straight out in my opinion You'd better listen to a man who knows what he's saying I've seen your side You run and hide for the mere fact that you feel inferior Be superior And know your interior Race, pride, prejudice Black man, white man (no stand) Live in the past We make it last (a hated mass) No solution Mind pollution For revolution So low behold my eyes This land of fools will rise No good For no one You're no good For no one You blame oppression and play the role of criminals To rape and burn show progress is minimal White hoods and militants, you know it's such a pity Living, breathing, violence in your city If one man had one home In one world he'd live alone without variety Full of anxiety no one to point at question Or even talk to-in his private grave No matter what color He wouldn't be saved from hell, he dwells A closed mind playing the part of prison cells Race, pride, prejudice Black man, white man (no stand) Live in the past We make it last (a hated mass) No solution Mind pollution For revolution So low behold my eyes This land of fools will rise You're no good For no one You're no good For no one So low behold my eyes This land of fools will rise No good For no one You're no good For no one Ooh
