Prejudice Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]White don't like black,
Iran don't like
Iraq
That's the way it is but it
should [A]not be [Em]like that
You're a negative man with a
[A]negative way of thinking
[Em]That's why your life's stinking
like a ship is sinking
Come to think about it,
it [D]really ain't your fault
That's the [Em]way someone's raised
[A]and the [C]way [Em]someone's [C]taught
[Em]What you gonna do to
make your life better?
Sit [A]down and write your
congressman a [Am]letter
See [Em]don't be a moron cause
[A]this ain't a joke
Before we go up [Em]in s[D]moke,
[Em]better try to provoke it
You say you'll do something,
but man, you're only bluffing
You mean that
Martin
Luther
King died for nothing
[Bb]Noth[Em]ing
People cursing, fighting,
they're killing and they're dying
And when you [D]confront [Em]them,
they're al[G]ways lying
Their vic[D]tims are pre[G]judice,
it [Em]ain't no joke
And in a rage riot,
heard they went [G]for broke
Now let me tell you a story
[Em]about a man named
Jim
[C]Now [D]listen what so[C]ciety did to him
[Em]Now he was a w[G]orld scholar,
gradu[Em]ated cum laude
Studied in a textbook [G]hour af[Em]ter hour
But he never got a job, not [G]even a one
Now he's [Em]in a garbage can
and you call him [Am]a bum
[Em]Take a little time[G] to bust out the rhyme
And [Em]keep on making a force
from [G]out of your [C]mind
[Em]Yo, I'm not a preacher
trying to reach everyone
[G]Tha[Em]t don't mean that I'm
against the stalking people
What's a gunner?
Just a man that knows
From right to [G]wrong
And what I believe inside my [Em]heart
I believe is strong
That's right, I'm
Rapper
G, I'm here to teach [G]the mental
My [Em]voice is instrumental,
hard but quite gentle
I'd like to tell you if I can,
I am a black [G]man
[Em]Yes, I [G]verbal[Em]ize this phrase so
that you'll understand
Prejudice [G]comes in any descrip[C]tion
[Am]A ha[C]ter gets a[G] group,
a race, a [Em]religion
Prejudice
We who are oppressed
[G]Love those [Em]who fight against oppression
An[D]d they opp[Em]ress us
As the clock keeps ticking,
well, it's time to say
that I'm [D]not
Marcus
[Em]Garvey or
MLK.
Not even
Malcolm
[G]X, I [Em]read his books every day.
[G]It's called
Preju[D]dice, [Em]and it goes this [G]way.
[Em]It's about segrega[G]tion, a game or a plot.
[Em]It exi[G]sts ev[Em]erywhere,
[G]if you lik[Em]e it or [G]not.
Now,
[Em]Andrew
Davis talks dope, deaf like a pole.
Need to run for the bread,
wouldn't [C]get the vote.
[Em]It's
America,
[C]America[G], the pro[C]mised lan[Em]d.[C]
Sent over on a boat and
changed my mind.
[Em]Now the opport[G]unity [Em]that you gain,
the [G]blame,
has been [Em]shattered by a [G]fist
bump in your face.
[Em]Michael
Griffith has [G]died for a lie [Em]that you cry
[G]Now you[Em] hide fro[G]m your sid[Am]e
and you [Em]claim it's suicide
It makes me sadder, madder,
sadder, I mean madder
[D#]Yo, if you come [Em]to think about it,
does it really matter?
[D#]Yeah[C], that's why t[Em]hat matters
and it [Am]ain't [Em]the joint
And it makes me sick, so that's my point
[G]I was born as a suspect r[Em]ace,
as a brother
[G]People [C]judging me by my skin col[G]or
Now I'm full [Em]grown,
a subject to my skin tone
[D#]This got me [Em]pissed, yo boy,
we gotta kick this
We can come together,
but you say it [G]is impossible
These people will fall from a natural
All this negativity is wrecking the brain cells
If you don't see my point of view,
then go to hell
Well, that's why I said it,
I'd be damned if [Em]I regret it
This world could be a [G]better place
if you only let [Em]it
Prejudice
You
