1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Racism is a waste of time
And a crime
It can hurt people inside
It’s not a joke
If you don’t tell anyone
You can’t be helped
Were not gonna stop this battle
Till we get our fight
If you want we’ll wait
Day and night
If you think you you can beat it
Leap up on your feet
Cos you know how it feels to be hurt
Were gonna win this battle
If we win we’ll throw racism in the bin
If something bad happens to you
You feel outnumbered and different
That’s not gonna happen any more
Cos were gonna fight this battle
Against racism
Doesn’t matter what race time or place.
People look up to people
Like Boa morte
Cos He’s a great role model.
Racism is a waste of time
And a crime.
