Chorus

Know what you’re doing

Do what you’re saying

Stick to the –

Stick to the game –

—————————–

Stay focused, stay the course

Words are so powerful

fight with a –

fight with a FLAME

Verse 1:

Get ur right and start to fight

I Refuse to be treated differently

The literal difference is our color

I want to be better than the others

I want to be better together

I want to be better than the others

I want to be better together

I use my words

I use them loud

I stand up

I stand up Proud

I see wrong

I’m making it right

I’m gonna

I’m gonna fight

Verse 2:

Know what you wanna be

Be who you wanna be

I won’t change who I am

You guys try to keep us apart

Your actions made me feel less

We are stronger together

We have power together

This is who we are

Verse 3:

You my friend, an assimilation

My words commit verbal annihilation

You opinion don’t matter, against our matter

Especially when talking about Black Lives Matter

Racist Brick, aint got no drip

Evil toothpick got hit with a stick

Now Yo head, a banana split

Now layin in a 6 ft pit

Instrumental

Enter Here

About the Book

Ibram X. Kendi

Stamped

Written by Ibram X. Kendi and Jason Reynolds

A timely, crucial, and empowering exploration of racism–and antiracism–in America.

This is NOT a history book.
This is a book about the here and now.
A book to help us better understand why we are where we are.
A book about race.

The construct of race has always been used to gain and keep power, to create dynamics that separate and silence. This is a remarkable reimagining of Dr. Ibram X. Kendi’s Stamped from the Beginning, winner of a National Book Award. It reveals the history of racist ideas in America and inspires hope for an antiracist future.

Stamped takes you on a race journey from then to now, shows you why we feel how we feel, and why the poison of racism lingers. It also proves that while racist ideas have always been easy to fabricate and distribute, they can also be discredited.

Through a gripping, fast-paced, and energizing narrative, Jason Reynolds shines a light on the many insidious forms of racist ideas–and on ways readers can identify and stamp out racist thoughts in their daily lives.
