| R.A.C.I.S.M. Words: Jaime, Randy, and David Rasmussen Meaning: This was originally written during our senior year of high school for our english class. The three of us, the B.R.E.S.T. crew, were notorious for coming up with the most hilarious things, and this is a prime example. It is about the Latin Hype Posse, the pioneering hip-hop group from Nyssa, which paved the way for other Nyssa bands and layed the plans for our fight against racism. R.A.C. I.S.M. Straight-Up RACISM! x4 There's a monster we encounter, but we cannot see It affects every person, including you and me The hell we are raising is a big disgrace We're judging other people by the color of their face Most people think that this is criticism But deep down inside its STRAIGHT-UP RACISM CHORUS Down here in Nyssa we had some modern-day crusaders They was down with black and white, just like the Oakland Raiders They was tired of people talking about their skin behind their back So they formed the Latin Hype Posse and began their attack D.J. Rick was the leader of this anti-racist crew Pete Nice and D Latin were also in there too D.J. Rick knows karate because he's down with every culture When he worked at Kline's hardware, he could have sold you a John Deere Mulcher Chorus They started their battle in the year of 91 They attacked racism with their words, and not a gun So they put out a tape to spread their gospel To the white, blacks, and the browns, of the youth hostile The tapes wouldn't sell, so they put them out for free But the put a dent in racism, for everybody So, next time you start to discriminate Remember LHP, and FORGET THE HATE!
