LyricMeaning

Straight Outta Kettering
Atomic Potato

I thought ska music was supposed to be about unity

But gentrification left you with a black-free community

You were raised with no respect and when it comes to fear

You were raised in a place without many black peers

So it's clear, that you're racist but you try and act bigger

We're not racist, you just get offended when we use the word -

Fuck that, there's disrespect, elation and an oral fixation

And everytime there's vocal dictation there's a negative correlation

Combining negativity in your mind with the thought of a another race

Now I'm glad I never grew up in such a fucked up place

Disgrace, and most of them won't even say it to your face

Maybe they should be held down, hosed down, sprayed with mace

The great irony is that they get MLK day off school

They show no appreciation because showing appreciation just ain't cool

And everytime they get a cheap laugh from making another racial joke

They should feel the pain of being economically enslaved and broke

And choked, metaphorically by forced segregation

There goes the hood when it comes to gentrification

Housing inflation, and profiling carried out by the police station

And humiliation, without humility these kids are on vacation

I hope they say the wrong thing and get hit

Because I'm not a big enough man to stand up to their shit


I'm not racist I'm not racist in fact I don't know why I say this

I'm not racist I'm not racist in fact I don't know why I say this


Check this, a wealthy family buys a house a block from me

Sure enough my rent goes up, now my landlord's dropping me

And now my neighborhood has turned into commercial property

And some monopoly builds suburbs for white families to live 'properly'

Now your suburban city is a whopping 1 percent black

and you live comfortably in your 99 percent pack

Meaning legislation is completely run by the white folks

Predominantly republican votes turning every election into a joke

Until you choke, physically by auto erotic affixation

Or the realization that you live in sophisticated segregation

Inauguration doesn't mean shit when the system hasn't changed

The deck chairs on the titanic have been re-arranged

Nothing estranged, everything will flow the way it always has

The upper class are criminals, but you never see them on the polygraph

And all I ask is that you try and be a little more appreciative

Of the way you live, because you'll always get way more than you'll ever give

Yet you still make jokes about this race who gave you so much shit

Ska, blues, reggae, jazz; who the fuck you think created it?

Without blues there would be no rock n roll

and without rock n roll, there wouldn't be guitar hero

Which is all you care about because your life is empty and plain

These things you would understand if you even had half a brain


I'm not racist I'm not racist in fact I don't know why I say this

I'm not racist I'm not racist in fact I don't know why I say this
