Lyrics Born & Eligh & The Grouch
Lyrics Born & Cutso & Shing02 & Bohan Phoenix & Rakaa Iriscience
The song peers into the soul of a community literally under fire, acknowledging uncertainty and fear, yet defiant and unwilling to back down. Cutso layers a sinister beat with tolling siren effects, while Lyrics Born gruffly documents the repercussions of racist violence and rhetoric, as well as its...
[Verse 1]
Things just ain’t the same for AZNs
They slicing our faces with knives and razors
Stabbing whole families
Including the babies
We taunted with racist slurs on a daily basis
Immigration agents put us in cages
Cops throw us on the pavement face down in bracelets
Covid ain’t the most contagious disease
Racism is #1 and the hatred it breeds
The China virus, the China virus
He’s gotten a lotta mileage
Out these sly one-liners
Hes the pilot light
That ignited this crisis
On repeat even he no longer in office
Dropped a vile legacy of intolerance
Upon us
Tbh
I’m just tired of violence
Too many Patnas
Never made it outta childhood
To many lives already lost 2 THIS virus
[Chorus: Lyrics Born]
Anti slant eye, guess who’s the bad guy?
I ain’t playin, I’m sayin
Anti slant eye, guess who’s the bad guy?
I ain’t playin, I’m sayinI’m in a red circle
(Red line going diagonal
Starting over my left shoulder, going over my right ankle)
Anti slant eye, guess who’s the bad guy?
I ain’t playin, I’m sayin
[Verse 1]
Things just ain’t the same for AZNs
High blood pressure
Diabetes, Hypertension
Anxiety, migraines
High Depression
Y’all surprised I listed
These 5 afflictions?
Sheet Any guy with melanin
Likely has these symptoms
Now add to that worldwide violent aggression
No media attention
Like we ain’t even existed
I feel highly disREspected
Herd immunity
Ain’t serving the community
No more hurting our community with certain impunity
We been targeted
As the source where this started
It’s our turn to spin on the wheel of misfortune
Those in Authority
Blame the model minority
Tell their supporters we
The reason for Quarantine
Strategy old as
America itself
Them fight each other
Let them bury themselves
[Chorus: Lyrics Born]
Anti slant eye, guess who’s the bad guy?
I ain’t playin, I’m sayin
Anti slant eye, guess who’s the bad guy?
I ain’t playin, I’m sayinI’m in a red circle
(Red line going diagonal
Starting over my left shoulder, going over my right ankle)
Anti slant eye, guess who’s the bad guy?
I ain’t playin, I’m sayin
[Verse 2]
I know it’s been trending
Let’s be transparent
This shit been hap-pen-nin
Before the pandemic
Comin heard CHINK So much it was anthemic
Imagine
How it’s
Affected our self image
As grown man
I thought we would have transcended
And Yet
Here we are getting slashed like gift wrap ribbon
That said
In addition to harassment
I could lose my assets
My job, my marriage
And then
Will my spouse get doused with acid?
Oh & by the way
Not sure u heard what’s happening
There’s this this thing called Corona
I could pass from that shit
If school is back in do I lil man in?
Or will he get his ass kicked
By racist upperclassmen?
Fuck that shit
Fuck that shit
Put the world on notice
Touch me or my fam
U won’t catch Corona
But youll catch these hands
[Chorus: Lyrics Born]
Anti slant eye, guess who’s the bad guy?
I ain’t playin, I’m sayin
Anti slant eye, guess who’s the bad guy?
I ain’t playin, I’m sayinI’m in a red circle
(Red line going diagonal
Starting over my left shoulder, going over my right ankle)
Anti slant eye, guess who’s the bad guy?
I ain’t playin, I’m sayin
