Fuck Columbus Lyrics by Outis

Got a Minute?

2019

Let's try some shit that I don't think anyone thought to do
I'mma bring you back to like fourteen-hundred and ninety-two
Chris Columbus got the go ahead to sail over the ocean blue
So he came here and acted like a fucking fool
Looking for gold
Cutting hands off of those who'd come low on the quotas he was told to impose
Who knows where we'd be if Arawaks weren't deceased
Dead from Europeans, suicide, hunger and disease
Royalty, as per usual, doing what they please
While the rest of us are struggling, falling to our knees
How do these things keep happening?
Why is this master class still active?
I wish pacifists weren't so passive
And black incarceration wasn't so massive
And mass incarceration wasn't so massive
I hope y'all keep this laceration loud and blasting
Back to the point, man--fuck Columbus
I'm like 500 years too late
Fuck Columbus, fuck masters, fuck racists
Fuck all of them, thinking they sweet
I'm blessed to be a part of lower-to-middle class
Doing right, my conscience clean
I must confess, it took a long time to get here, but thank god
I thank god I'm me
Yo, let me explain: when you're young, everything is dope
I never wondered if we struggled, always thought we'd float
Never saw mama feeling drama, trying to clear her throat
Tears in her eyes, traumatized cause we fucking broke
Then I got older, the world got colder
Thinking about myself, had a chip on my shoulder
Rebellious hellion, trying to get my jelly in anything with a thick ass and no belly, then
Once again, things changed around the time I was 16
Started to see the shit different
It's not just me on this motherfucker, so I guess I better figure out how I'mma fit in
All of a sudden, epiphanies by the dozen:
How I got this privilege when my dark skinned homie doesn't?
Security stop me when I got a beard, I'm looking foreign
Why can't she make choices for herself; cause she's a woman?
And I could keep on going
But you know it's just the same shit that you've heard before
But maybe it'll reach somebody if it fucking flows
Maybe they will pay attention if I spit it cause my skin ain't darker tinted
And I come from where they come from, so they won't feel like I'm different
Do you get it? I'll wait
How you gonna act like black culture ain't great?
How you gonna build a country on the work of slaves
Then act like they don't deserve to live in what they made? Listen
Black lives matter
Just like natives before them and whoever comes after
I'd die for my brothers, any color, race, what have you
I want to stop the hate, y'all, (let's) recognize the pattern
It ain't a color that we're fighting, it's the power
Too few of us have any cause we didn't know it's ours
Minorities marginalized and whites lumped in with masters
Ignorance ain't bliss, they kick that shit to keep you passive
Fear and isolation are just what they be wanting
So I say keep this motherfucker bumping
Don't nobody want to ride to something deep but weak
So I'mma help you change the world, disturb the peace
Fuck the man, fuck the fucking police
Fuck race baiters, y'all don't know me
And fuck all of these haters, y'all don't know me
I said fuck all of these haters, y'all don't know me
