i am a racist - alex dezen lyrics

[chorus]
i am a racist
and of this there’s little doubt
black and brown faces
they make me nervous when it’s dark out
now i don’t wanna be this way
but what can i say?
this is how america raised me
to always be afraid
don’t take the blame
you’re probably exactly the same

[verse 1]
in college i had a black friend
he was cool and if you asked him
what it was like to be a black man
he would laugh and say let’s pretend
that every single person you see out on the street
thinks you’re carrying a gun or a knife
yeah, that’s what it’s like
every single day of my life
i said come on don’t you think that’s a little dramatic
and he just shook his head
yeah, that’s what the cops said

[verse 2]
i can’t clean my apartment
sometimes i have to outsource it
that’s when carlos and zoe come
to do the job that i can’t get done
oh, but before they arrive i’ll go and hide
valuable things i don’t want them to find
cos you never know the lengths to which some desperate people go
then one time i found one hundred dollars on my couch
with a note that kindly read:
i found this under your bed

[bridge]
i fought it desperately
cos i just could not believe that it was so easy
to see people differently
i looked at other things to blame
and cast down their names in shame
but the problem always ended in the same place
and that place was me

[pre-chorus]
i am a racist
and of this there’s little doubt
but i’m trying to change it
every time it rears its head about
cos i don’t wanna be this way
no matter what you say
i know the damage and the role that i’ve played
so i’ll take the blame
seems like a good place to start anyway

[chorus]
i am a racist, yes
and i can’t escape it, yeah
[?]
i am a racist, yes
and i can’t escape it, yeah
[?]
ooh, i am a racist, yes
and i can’t escape it, yeah
