A 
Em 
should not be 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,

A 
this ain't a joke
Em 
D 
Before we go up in  smoke,
Em

graduated cum laude
G 
Em 
Studied in a textbook hour after hour
G 
But he never got a job, not even a one

Em 
G 
Take a little time to bust out the rhyme

Em 
Yo, I'm not a preacher
trying to reach everyone
G 
Em 
That don't mean that I'm
against the stalking people

Just a man that knows
G 
From right to wrong
Em 
And what I believe inside my heart
I believe is strong
That's right, I'm
Rapper
G 
G, I'm here to teach the mental

My voice is instrumental,
hard but quite gentle
I'd like to tell you if I can,
G 
I am a black man
Em 
G

Yes, I verbalize this phrase so
that you'll understand
G 
C 
Prejudice comes in any description
Am

Love those who fight against oppression
D 
Em 
And  they oppress us
As the clock keeps ticking,
well, it's time to say
D

Marcus
Em 
Garvey or
MLK.
Not even

It  exists everywhere,
G 
Em 
G 
if you like it or not.
Now,
Em 
Andrew
Davis talks dope, deaf like a pole.
Need to run for the bread,
C 
wouldn't get the vote.
Em 
It's
America,
C 
G 
C 
Em

America, the promised land.
Sent over on a boat and
changed my mind.
Em 
G

bump in your face.

Michael
G 
Em

Em

It makes me sadder, madder,
sadder, I mean madder
D# 
Em 
Yo, if you come to think about it,
does it really matter?
D# 
C 
Em 
Yeah, that's why that matters
Am 
Em 
and it ain't the joint
And it makes me sick, so that's my point

People judging me by my skin color
Em 
Now I'm full grown,
a subject to my skin tone
D# 
Em 
This got me pissed, yo boy,
we gotta kick this
We can come together,
G 
but you say it 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,
Em 
I'd be damned if I   regret it
G 
This world could be a better place
Em 
if you only let it
Prejudice
