This list is consisting of the absolute worst lyrics from 2017. A lot of repetitive bs and random lyrics based on people not being able to google simple things to make sure they were right happened this year, and I'm here to expose all of the lyrics that puzzled audiences across the world with this list. Without further ado, here we go
Number 5 is...
Race War by I Try To Be Deep By Offending People
"I'm not racist, I'm just prepared for this type of war. I heard Eminem's rap at the awards, who's he fightin' for? Y'all can take that motherfucker too, he ain't white no more,"
Let me give some context behind this song since most of you probably don't know. The real title is called I'm Not Racist by rapper Joyner Lucas. Lucas released a single back in 2016 called I'm Sorry which was pretty much 1-800 by Logic before the song existed. It talked about suicide in probably one of the worst ways possible, by offending the people that commit suicide using characters (the person in the song who killed themselves father) to say that committing suicide is a stupid option. Here's a couple actual bars from the song.
"I hope you got what you wanted
I hope you finally happy
It's too late for you
Been going out of my mind
You don't know how many times that I done prayed for you
I hope you hear me, GD it
Cause I got so much shit that I wanna say to you
I used to shine, now I'm all in the dark
I remember I used to tell you to follow your heart
But GD it, look at you now, it's all of your fault
How could you?"
Anyways, then he released another controversial song that actually is getting critical appraise for dealing with this issue and I am honestly appalled. So the context here is that there is a white guy with a MAGA hat who is a trump supporter and is supposed to represent white people across America. -______-. Ok then there's a black guy who hates white people that is supposed to represent all black people in America -________-. Basically, the white guy starts off being racist and says a bunch of racist bullshit, including the line I chose from the song. Honestly I could have chose any line from the song aside the chorus, in which I actually kind of like because it's the only part that isn't offensive in any way. Now why doesn't this song work? Multiple reasons, the main 2 being all people don't act this way for 1, and 2 this is a fake "if by whiskey argument". If you don't know what that is it's an argument meant to show the extremes of both sides and for both sides to look as ridiculous as possible. The thing is, no argument in an if by whiskey should actually make sense. Lucas does this right with the first part, but then completely destroys it with the second verse, the black guy's part if you will, has legitimate points to his argument. Sure he comes out racist and says many racist things about white people, but he also brings up legit points about things like ALM and other racially sensitive topics. Now to the main lyric I chose. Just because a white person disses Trump and is fighting for minorities does not instantly make them a minority. If that's so then I'm the blackest person I know. The lyric just adds a ton of stupidity to an already stupidly offensive song. This song should be ridiculed, not praised.
