"We say no, not in our name"
[Verse 1]
CIt's in the things that you say and you don't GsayF  
You don't know it 'Cause you're suCh a Fuckin' CliGcheC  
The way you define them and usG  
FThose you Fear and those you trust
You Cknow a black guy and he's very articulate
You Fknow a Mexican and she's honest and diligent
You Cdon't see Color, but some people need discipline
A Cthug is a thug, some people need to learn a lesson
[Pre-Chorus]
Your Amjustifications (one dead Giveaway)
Your Gqualifications (one dead Giveaway)
You'd Fnever endorse the Jim Crow days
But the malice in your voice is a God damn Giveaway
[Chorus]
CJust 'Cause you don't know you're racist
A bigot with a checklist
AmJust 'Cause you don't know you're racist
FYou don't Get a pass when you're talkin' your shit
CJust 'Cause you don't know you're racist
A bigot with a checklist
AmJust 'Cause you don't know you're racist
FYou don't Get a pass, Get a pass for your ignorance
C F C F
[Verse 2]
CBlack lives matter and you don't know whyG  F  
And reverse racism isn't a real thinG
No you wCeren't alive in the time of slaverGy
But tFhat's no excuse to iGnore its legacy
CNot afraid of refugees
But Fdon't want a mosque built on your street
OffCended by the Claim of bigotry
FMore than the racism in your face
[Pre-Chorus 2]
