Blackface Lyrics by Soulrac

2020

Soulrac
1) I know it’s been awhile since someone (spoke the truth)
To open up your mind is what I (hope to do)
2) What we find offensive is a (joke for you)
But when it’s all said and done I hope I’ve (broken through)
3) Cuz Blackface, it left (permanent scars)
It’s hard to see the light when you (learn in the dark)
4) But you say let’s forget, it happened (years ago)
But everytime we see we feel (miserable)
5) We can’t move forward unless we (face our sins)
Than we’ll be a lot further than the (place we’re in)
6) For the people died before me, I pay (true homage)
Cuz black face to me Is more than (shoe polish)
7)While our blood stained the soil and left (bitter roots)
I wish cops had restraint, and they (didn’t shoot)
8) We can’t move forward unless we (face our sins)
Than we’ll be a lot further than the (place we’re in)

Hook: Newsreel

Verse 2
1) I'm sick of the lies, that git in da mind, (beginning to find)
Political minds, with criminal ties, is (keeping us blind)
2) You step out of line, they kept you line, by (using the noose)
To lynch the blacks, to keep us back from (hearing the truth)
3) we never deserve, to live in world, where they (darken their face)
Calling us coons, in all of your tunes, ain't (part of my race)
4) I hear you like, the sterotypes, (and it shows)
Your prejudice, which lead to this (in minstrel shows)
5)the buffoonery, we're soon to see, (in our face)
The images,that injured us, we (can't erase)
6)you went the path, to get a laugh, (for party tricks)
Defamation, left our nation (hardly fixed)
7) broken hearts, with no regard,for (the black life)
The sickness spread, in our heads like (crack pipes)
8) the buffoonery, we're soon to see, (in our face)
The images,that injured us, we (can't erase)

Hook: Newsreel

Verse 3
1) White men in black face trying to (shuck n jive)
Standing on stage in an (ugly disguise)
2) Like William H. West, playing the(role)
In every ministrel show that's where the story was (told)
3) Thomas D rice gave it (pop appeal)
With Jump Jim Crow passing the (cotton fields)
4) Al jolson did Mammy on (The Jazz Singer)
And made us feel like distant strangers
5) and we still deal with it's legacy and we (felt the pain)
Being 2nd class citzens since its (left its stain)
6) We've been trautimized, although Obama rised
We're still considered niggers and the drama survived
7) through the ages, and let's demand the nation
Erase blackface, and the degradation
8)From the past, On our shoulders rest glory
This is the beginning not the end of the story
