Lyrics Born & Cutso & Shing02 & Bohan Phoenix & Rakaa Iriscience
[Verse 1: Rakaa Iriscience]
The intersection of propaganda and hatred
Mental health and race of anger and frustration
So-called leaders and speeches targeting Asians
Then confirmation bias, some debating science
It’s a complicated virus, side effects like Anti-Asian-American
And Pacific Islander violence, communities are conquered, divided
Designed by the tyrants, and some try to justify silence
Cowards attacking elderly innocent, bystanders filming it
Somе close the doors or indifferеnt
This is from the son of a Korean immigrant
Unity builds unity, ignorance breeds ignorance
[Verse 2: Shing02]
Pass the baton, the mic, the megaphone, it’s on
Tell the xenophobes time to atone
Once upon a top of a hill, stood a White House
Where the master was a mason with a wide mouth
We the people, meant whoever legal
Whatever to protect ‘em, the method was lethal
Fast forward, ain’t a damn thing changed
The race is the scapegoat, class is the same
If you wanna take notes then I’m all about it but
TBH, do we really gotta talk about it?
And let the history of activism
Rewound by dicks with their minds in prison
Yellow peril cause fever to believer dem'
I got the message so I might as well deliver then
Be the judge, if you wanna be judged B
Still step to me, you don’t know me, homie
[Chorus]
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 sayin'
I'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 3: Lyrics Born]
Things exactly the same for AZNs
Still getting stabbed up, beat on the same streets
Even though we organized, rallied, and brang heat
Even though we finally made our issues go mainstream
While a new psycho swoops on, a dude with his newborn
We gettin' clipped like a coupons, yet the news cycle moved on
I shouldn’t have to pay to hire a publicist
To get folks to notice my folks taking punishment
To all people of color, I’m here, let’s fellowship
More love and understanding
We share the same nemesis
We are too many, too beautiful, too intelligent
We need to ask ourselves
When we fight, who benefits
[Verse 4: Bohan Phoenix]
Things just ain’t the same no more
We don’t gotta play their games no more
We don't have to hide our pain no more
Shout out to the ones that have came before
That laid it down, now the rules changed
Its a cultural revolution we the new reign
Wanna hold us down but we found a new flame
I got news mane, I’m the one you should worry about
I used to think if you hate me you my enemy
So I hate you too, reciprocate that energy
But all that hating back and forth really draining me
I had to trust in love had to find my inner peace
So when you need you know who to call
And if I'm overseas I be there tomorrow
听我说,如果有坏那么就有爱
希望有一天大家都明白
[Chorus]
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 sayin'
I'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'
