Race to the bottom

you dance away misfortune

Or you parents didn’t love you

Do you really like the music?

This is how you learned to love them

And you bought a bunch of bottles

to not talk about your sadness

But your family never taught you

Not to drown it out in sorrow

Then you fought over a woman

that you never cared for either

But the porn made you a fighter

And you broke her heart, regardless

She will hate you for the promises

She happened to believe in

Because that’s the way you do it

You just saw it in the movies

You were twelve and up and horny

And your homie did it first

Thus a race ensued that cursed you all

to make them feel discomfort

And now they have a girlfriend

But you don’t believe they’re happy

They might think that you are lonely

They don’t know me like I know me

But I know them, for I’ve been there

I just never learned to process

When we talk they’re in denial

When we don’t the ladies suffer

But they always will, regardless

Lest the music culture changes

And they never blame the white guys

When we do, they find replacement

you will try to change the minds of guys

Still living in a basement

In a den of self-beratement

They will never think they’re racist
