Eu Não Sou Racista

I'm Not Racist

First of all, with all due respect
We are all human beings to me
There's no such thing as white or black
Within that, I can't feel sorry
You problematize everything, that's the big problem
I don't know why this victimhood habit
I can't even speak up anymore because today everything is racism
I wanted to be on your side
But you don't even know if you want to be called black or white
Talking about slavery as if it were current
But if it still existed, you'd be in trouble
Two hundred years have passed and you're still stuck in this
Can't get out of the rut and blame us?
In fact, blaming others is what you love the most
Blame the government, the church, blame the police and the whites
A white person dies and you don't bat an eye
A black person dies and you want to stop the world with your protests
I'm not racist, I'm not
Even the maid and the gardener in the family are black
The nanny was too, but she was fired
After she started college, she was late twice
Look at such irresponsibility
Then you want to talk about lack of opportunity
Funny, right? You really like taking shortcuts
But achievement only comes with the merit of work
You who live off quotas, this grant, that grant
Dare to say that I'm the privileged one?
While you're out there stealing and trafficking
I'm in the office working twice as hard
A bunch of criminals, lazy bums, and stinkers
With your music, your slang, and your criminal clothes
I pay my taxes for the family's sake
While all you care about is drugs and debauchery
You love Mano Brown as if he were Christ
And so your children follow the cursed cycle
Stop with this shit and obey the laws
Maybe then the police will stop killing you
I'm not racist, huh
But when not dangerous, you're lazy and that's a fact
I'm not racist
And you have to take responsibility for your actions
That's what I think
But as someone once threw in my face
That this is not my place to speak
I want to hear your side of the story
Empowered black youth, isn't it?
First of all, this is no news
That we are humans, I know, explain that to society
But after centuries of atrocity
I realized that in fact, the white man lost his humanity
Your pity is the last thing I need
Keep it because you'll need it when I come to collect the debt
You can say whatever you want, but you don't want to have the concern
This only shows how disgusting your intention is
I carry deep scars in my memory
Abolition only happened here in history books
In this conversation, there are only two sides
One with the slaveholding past and the other with the enslaved past
The Brazilian police is the deadliest in the world
In Brazil, a black person dies every twenty-three minutes
Now, let's be frank
How many people do you know who died just for being white?
You're not racist? Okay
But your justification affirmed how much of a fool you are
Embedded, ingrained in the mind is the standard
That the normal relationship with a black person is master and servant
They kidnapped warriors, raped queens
Applied all kinds of cruelty and cowardice
Our blood is the basis of this economy
And you dare to talk about meritocracy?
Quotas are not charity, it's inclusion
Of a people kidnapped and left without reparation
Look at your delay
Don't want or don't realize that violence is a consequence of your neglect?
The bourgeoisie stinks, you're all screwed up
You seem and deserve the president you have
You talk about my culture, but live off of it
Appropriating and trying to make us hostages
Good citizen? Hypocrisy
We know well what you do hidden from your family
Your daughter wants a criminal to live on the edge
And your son fills his ass with cocaine with his allowance
Mano Brown is not Jesus to me, he's real
He taught me how to survive in this racial hell
And if the law were to charge those who steal and kill
The prison would be full of suits and ties
You're racist, just like your ancestors
You're part of the scum, all racists
And if you weren't, you'd be doing something to change history
