Hip Hop brought cultures together |
|
I remember cuzines in camaros pumping "Tougher Than Leather" |
|
Yankel Rosenbaum still got stabbed in Crown Heights |
|
Gavin Cato got hit when they ran that red light |
|
over a decade of healing but the scars remain |
|
both families involved still harbor the pain |
|
age 13 - 70's baby raised in the 80's |
|
mad fights with blacks and whites |
|
and both sides hated me for nonsense |
|
the white kids was playin it wack |
|
cos i'm from the projects and my neighbors is black |
|
I had to prove whiteboys could thump too |
|
but fuck skin color - I was proud to call myself a tough jew |
|
I guess i'm mad lucky to be raised in NY |
|
the world's capitol - my attitude was take em to war |
|
other places would've raised me in a useless format |
|
in Texas they dream about hunting jews with Borat |
|
Call me white nigger |
|

|

|
exposing the hatred to all |
|
cos any type of racism is wrong |
|
had newsmen talking as a kid about Yusef Hawkins |
|
same age as me when Joey Fama caught him walking through Bensonhurst |
|
a world away from my Glenwood Projects |
|
racially mixed - combustible - it lead to conflicts |
|
I was never raised prejudice |
|
my grandmother was a holocaust survivor |
|
and my uncle did heroin |
|
my pops wasn't around |
|
my moms kicked him out the house |
|
and broke her back to put food in our mouths |
|
age 12 - they bussed my projects to the white school |
|
holes in my sneakers - I never fit in with them rich white dudes |
|
I didn't click up with the blacks kids neither - I bought a Iron Maiden |
|
t-shirt and wrote rhymes in my trapper keeper |
|

Run-D.M.C. really made me wanna get wreck |
|
same time Kerry King played guitar for Megadeth |
|
it was 84, 85 - LL Cool J "rock the bells" |
|
obliterated my mind - so inspired I created a rhyme |
|
Beastie Boys on U68 - "she's on it" made up my mind |
|
hardcore - the other bright side |
|
I thought Bad Brains was white guys when Melle Mel |
|
dropped "white lines" |
|
nazi skinheads showed up at Lamour's in Brooklyn |
|
got stabbed up by puerto rican skins from Bushwick |
|
Geraldo got his nose broken - Tawana Brawley on Donahue |
|
central Park wildin had the world scopin |
|
now VH1 got a show for wiggers |
|
and some claim the jews be the biggest wiggers - we're considered |
|
the most dangerous cause they think we shift our forms |
|
cast spells & wear beanies to restrict our horns from being seen |
|
growing out our heads - the killers of christ |
|
these fools wear white sheets and believe that hitler was right |
|
believe it or not they still exist undercover |
|
and Mel Gibson never liked Danny Glover |
|
another piece of shit called out in the paper - if we was there, |
|
me and my peoples would have beat the fuckin shit outta Kramer |
|

|
and figure out what the fuck you're afraid of |
