Racism Card,Race Card!!


from the ABC set *{Terminate On Sight}2nd Album*

(Chorus)
Did you get your race card?
I didn't get my race card.
Did you use your race card?
Man,I haven't even got a card.
Whites an Blacks,
Always use their race card.
If they got one.

Please,I beg.Don't use the card or believe the hype.
Everything in this world isn't all clear,isn't all Black and White.
Nobody is or should stereotype,one another.
We all came from the holy Mary,precious Mother.
Just because I'm right in what I say,
Doesn't mean that my actions,going to be right.
It can be Black as midnight,White as snow white.
But if you got some attitude or stuck up.
I'll ensure you I'm off home,I'll have to take flight.
Everybody use the race card,I'm black,your Whites.
What happened to the good days.
When misjudgments and feuds,were dealt with fights.
Nowerdays you can't say the Black man.
If you do,it considered racism.
Why in this cold brutal word,
There got to be facism.
Lord knows,that he would perfer atheism.
So,here I go,with the chorus again.
Can't say it because it might be racist.
Write it on paper,give men a pen.

(Chorus)
Did you get your race card?
I didn't get my race card.
Did you use your race card?
Man, Ihaven't even got a card.
Whites an Blacks,
Always use their race card.
If they got one.

(Hook)
Where's your race card?
Where's your race card?
Why you acting so snobby?
Why you acting so hard?

Where's your race card?
Where's your race card?
Why you acting so snobby?
Why you acting so hard?

I like the idea behind this one - I think you could work it up a bit. Maybe look at 'white' and all of its clean, pure connotations and 'black' with its associations with evil and darkness. Its not simple racism, of course, but it's an interesting debate and one that you could use to take this song further.

By the way - is there somewhere we can hear your songs?

Thanks for the comments tcook,I haven' put my songs online,due to the fact I haven't got enough reputation.So it would be pointless,but I will sometime.I let you guys know when I do.At the moment all my songs are on CDS Recorded.

I'm working on the song now,should I change the hook and chorus?.I'm not sure,to keep that as it is or not.

I'm surprised you haven't tried Myspace. It's a quick easy way to get songs out there.

Haven't really thought of that,might give it a go.Good idea Chuck
