lirik lagu curt kennedy - slow it down

[intro: sample]
“and this thing about the disparity of blacks and whites in jails, that’s gotta stop because i got statistics right here which will prove me right. in new york city alone, okay, blacks are 23 percent, they make up 75 ~~ right, of the population. 75 percent of all shootings, 70 percent of all robberies, and 60 percent of all violent crime. all right? the whites, only 3 percent. now, that is why there are more blacks in jail than there are whites.”
“but that’s~~”
“okay? now, let me just finish here and then you go, all right. so we look at that statistic. all right, they turn it around ~~ the racial demagogues out there ~~ turn it around that the blacks are being picked on.”
“how are you still on national tv and just said that black people are pr~ne to criminality; i want to be able to respond to that.”
“well, they are.”
“you think black people are pr~ne to criminality?”
“the statistics seem to shout this~~”
“you don’t mean to say that. i’m gonna give you a chance to correct it. you don’t mean that black people are pr~ne to criminality.”
“what does this say?”
“i don’t know what that says, but i know~~”
“the chief can back me up because these come right out of~~”
“he’s not gonna say on national tv that black people are pr~ne to criminality, either.”
“i am telling you 75 percent of all shootings are blacks.”
“i’m hoping you just don’t know~~”
“75 percent of shootings. [crosstalk] you’re interpreting something else i’m saying into your narrative. that’s what you do.”
“i’m just trying to talk.”
“harry, marc, hold on one second. hold on. chief, chief~~”
“first of all, i’m not going to say blacks are pr~ne to crime because i don’t believe it and that’s not true.”
“it’s racist.”
“the second thing that i would display a difference of opinion~~”
“it’s not racist~~”
“to say that black people are pr~ne to criminality!?”
“that’s not what i said!”

[verse 1: curt kennedy]
knowledge
american history x
more than a movie, digress
i’m a part of the mess
i been going hard, what is next?
i been going hard with the stress
trying to gain yards with the catch
the stuff i be saying is deep tho
you know in your heart it’s complex
that’s why they calling me marxist
for some, a race~baiting negro
but i ain’t tripping off all this
i’mma stand tall like my knees grow
i’mma call out inconsistency
inconsistency, inconsistency
you been there all the time
like talking ’bout black~on~black crime
like there ain’t no white~on~white crime
like there ain’t no jew~on~jew crime
if the people you live near look like you
there will be you~on~you crime
but what about murders and so forth
you black people k!ll like it’s your sport
y’all be the ones with the violent crimes
not mines, not mines
really? with our history
would that be true arithmetically?
or maybe you just trying to tickle me
or show me how fickle is history
what a mystery
but we going do it
we gonna get into it
we gonna get into it
what a mystery
but we going do it
we gonna get into it
we gonna get into it
[hook: curt kennedy]
a lot of you talking
slow it down, slow it down
a lot of you push back
slow it down, slow it down
a lot of your ignorance
slow it down, slow it down
it’s cognitive dissonance
slow it down, slow it down
a lot of you talking
slow it down, slow it down
a lot of you push back
slow it down, slow it down
a lot of your ignorance
slow it down, slow it down
it’s cognitive dissonance
slow it down, slow it down

[verse 2: curt kennedy]
let’s get into some documents
stuff that we both know is obvious
for the sake of this argument
let’s admit this is arduous
but i know what the target it
so i’mma call y’all to this carpet, it’s
time for some cleaning, clorox in this
we gonna get to the bottom of bottomless
accusations against my ethnicity
again, see arithmetically
400 years in this system we
called america our citizenry
founded on scripture and misery
at least for those with the same skin as me
246 years as slaves
show me where we had the violent streak
sure you could point to rebellions
but slavery turned saints into h~llions
and slavery proved that the pious
were greedy, vindictive, and liars
hearts full of malice and bias
while teaching the lord is the highest
then slavery ended and jim crow
showed how sinful that white people
would become when we saw our freedom day
and then they respond with the kkk
k!lling black people for being black
and rarely do you see us fighting back
even when people like malcolm x
was saying let’s go for these people’s necks
many black people ain’t try
so judging by history, who’s pr~ne to violence?
[hook: curt kennedy]
a lot of you talking
slow it down, slow it down
a lot of you push back
slow it down, slow it down
a lot of your ignorance
slow it down, slow it down
it’s cognitive dissonance
slow it down, slow it down
a lot of you talking
slow it down, slow it down
a lot of you push back
slow it down, slow it down
a lot of your ignorance
slow it down, slow it down
it’s cognitive dissonance
slow it down, slow it down

[outro: sample]
“now, i had a former baltimore cop, michael a. wood jr., who explained, ‘yeah, part of the reason for that is we only go and harass people in black neighborhoods, ’cause we’re afraid that if we arrest people in the rich white neighborhoods, we’re gonna get in trouble. and we don’t wanna hit a judge’s son, we don’t wanna hit someone powerful, so you go pick on the powerless.’ okay, they don’t give you that context, but i’m gonna give you all of the context, because i’m gonna give you the numbers. so, so the washington post. black americans are two~and~a~half times as likely as white americans to be shot and k!lled by police officers. okay? so that’s there. unarmed black americans were 5 times as likely as unarmed white americans to be shot and k!lled by police officers. so, now, they’re both unarmed. for that study, they were looking at just the people who were shot by cops that were unarmed. black people were 5 times as likely to be shot, even though they were unarmed. okay. so, now they’ll say, ‘oh, yeah yeah, blacks are pr~ne to criminality, that’s why we had to shoot ’em.’ but in that case, they were unarmed! there was no criminality. and i’ve got more context on that issue, as well. of all the unarmed people shot and k!lled by police in 2015, 40 percent of them were black men, even though black men make up just 6 percent of the nation’s population. okay. according ~~ now, they always talk about black~on~black crime, let’s talk about that. according to fbi numbers from 2014, about 90 percent of black homicide victims were k!lled by other black people. the white~on~white murder rate that same year ~~ homicides in which a white person was k!lled by another white person ~~ was 82 percent of all murders of white people. yet you almost never hear of white~on~white crime, and you certainly don’t hear right~wingers on cable news talking about, ‘hey man, we gotta fix white culture. white people are constantly k!lling each other white people. what is wrong with them? where are their fathers?'”
“please stand by for further details. we return you now to our regularly scheduled program.”
