letra de socio-genetic experiment - disposable heroes of hiphoprisy

[hook]
sometimes i feel like a socio-genetic experiment
a petri-dish community’s token of infection
i feel like a socio-genetic experiment
a petri-dish community’s token of infection

[verse 1: michael franti]
you see i’m african native american
irish and german
i was adopted by parents who loved me
they were the same color
as the kids who called me n-gga
on the walk home from school
i cried until i found out what it meant
then i got me some equipment
my fists, man
i was a hit man with no friends
but who the h-ll am i cursing those whose skin
is half my dna
why am i
and why shouldn’t i
be ashamed of this fact
after all the feces they dumped on me
and my species

[hook]

[verse 2: michael franti]
those filthy mother…
shut ‘cho mouth
there i go again with those high and mighty speeches
when they are in fact part of my species
or is it the other way around
did i p-ss in their gene pool
if i did it wouldn’t matter
they kept me in the deep end
’cause the slightest dilution
in their solution
was perceived as pollution

[hook]

[verse 3: michael franti]
i am not solely race, nor environment, nor destiny
i am the human scientific process
over and over and over again
the dirt that i shovel to uncover the truth
often buries something else growing
acceptance of my own
weakness and my own intolerance
is seldom
but that is in fact my ident-ty
uncluttered by the maskings of consumer addiction
ethnocentricity
in the light of miscegenation
this fable of elements
which cl-ssify order, species, subspecies
genus, phyla
animal, vegetable, illegal, chemical
socialist, democrat, republican
yuppy, buppy, guppy
proud, racist
black, white, african, native american, irish, and german

[hook]
[x2]

and i’m proud
