Testo Integration - Edited - Ice Cube
Testo della canzone Integration - Edited (Ice Cube), tratta dall'album The Predator (World) [Clean]
Speaking as a black man from America, which is a racist society
No matter how much you hear it talk about democracy, it's
As racist as South Africa, or as racist as Portugal
Or as racist as any other racialist society on this earth
The only difference between it and South Africa
South Africa preaches separation and practices separation
America preaches integration and practices segregation
This is the only difference
They don't practice what they preach
Whereas South Africa preaches and practices the same thing
I have more respect for a man who lets me know where he stands
Even if he's wrong
Than the one who comes up like an angel and is nothing but a devil
I don't agree with him because I'm not a follower of Muhammad myself
I think that there are, every people, all people
Have been mistreated in some form or another
But I don't agree with him
I don't follow Muhammad
I don't think anyone should follow one man
I think they should follow their own conscience
I think the main problem of most Negroes
Is that they feel sorry for themselves
And I think that this keeps them back much more than they
Would be if they didn't feel so sorry for themselves
If Martin Luther King, Roy Wilkins, or any of these
Compromising Negroes who say exactly what the white
Man wants to hear is interviewed anywhere in the country
You don't get anybody to offset what they say
But whenever a black man stands up and says something
That white people don't like, then the first thing
That white man does is run around to try and find somebody
To say something to offset what has just been said
This is natural, but it is done
You know what I think?
I just think, I think you've given up
Given up on what?
On the ideal of an integrated America, the dream of Martin Luther King
I think you've given up
This is not, I'm not trying to be a smart aleck now
I'm telling you honestly that I think you've given up
You know, it's interesting how white folks sit
Here thinking that I have a reason to lie to you
As though you are so powerful and you are so wonderful and
I'm so ashamed of my words that I have to twist and turn
Please, you're not dealing with that kind of man
You're dealing with a man who means
What he says and says what he means
Now listen
