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!
