Turn It Around Songtext

Turn It Around Songtext
10 bullets intended to pierce only black skin
It sounds so familiar but not like listening to Backspin
How the fuck was this shit still happening in 2022?
White supremacy-fuelled hatred is still so plentiful
Supported by many fools confederate flag wavin′
Intelligence lacks, a nation's embarrassment′s mass hatin'
Fuck every last Satan sayin' the perpetrator′s a mental patient
When his hatred was blatantly pasted in a statement
And straight up, you all signed it, and think that we′re all blinded
Claiming that just discussing racism is how you find it
You people kept your brains in a storage unit listening to that orange human
Who only accomplished enormous ruin
Incompetent, pompous and stupid, Fox News is
As good a burning cross and noose is, your rhetoric's so abusive
You′re fuckin' useless and that′s no loose term
With ten roosters you wouldn't wake up when the truth′s heard
We've been walking with our heads down
Look up to the sun, time to shine and be loud
Not much here has changed and I'm not proud
They say the world is spinning but let′s turn it around
Turn it around yeah
November 2, 1920, Ocoee, Florida
A horrid fuss sparked by the white supremacist war with us
Election Day, Orange County blacks prepared to vote
Triple K took to the streets equipped with nooses for their throats
Homes burned to the ground, around 50 bodies found
An extermination of blacks to a make a sundown town
Community leader July Perry hanged from a lightpost
His bullet-riddled body was the message left by white folks
A hundred years later George Floyd′s twisted neck
Was the result of disrespect from his four-pigs arrest
So what the fuck do you expect from the black community
When centuries of cruelty are responded to with impunity?
And scrutiny is also reserved for blacks who preserve
The absurd concept that our race gets what it deserves
We're not savages, the history you′ve been taught created bias
The world's worst atrocities were done to us not by us
Extreme violence is a white science and your alliance
With your oppressor implies that all of our people should be compliant
When injustice occurs so that our progress is kept stifled
While a white fool with a rifle in a high school is praised like the Bible
But yeah claim that we wasn′t oppressed
White mass murderers eat burgers while our blood is still fresh
These are facts, don't accuse me of tantrum throwing
If I didn′t stand up for my people, I hate myself like I was Candace Owens
We've been walking with our heads down
Look up to the sun, time to shine and be loud
'Cause not much here has changed and I′m not proud
They say the world is spinning but let′s turn it around
Turn it around
Uh, they don't see us, they watch us
Cold blooded when they look at me, yeah
They don′t see us, they watch us
No compassion, we don't feel at ease
Uh, they don′t see us, they watch us
Cold blooded when they look at me, yeah
They don't see us, they watch us
No compassion, we don′t feel at ease
No, we don't feel at ease
Cold blooded when you look at me, yeah
No compassion I see, yeah
No, no no no, no no no, no no no
It sounds so familiar but not like listening to Backspin
How the fuck was this shit still happening in 2022?
