Tolerate Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We will not tolerate beating, lynching, burning, raping
Pillaging, drugging, mass-murdering of blacks
We are not your
O-R-D-I-N-A-R-Y R-A-P-P-E-R
N-I-G-G-E-R-S—on our chest
Is wickedness, the press is telling us lies
We will not tolerate white men murdering black men, taking 'em home, chopping their bones, and smothering them with plastic
And dipping their heads in acid—wonder if Dahmer diee-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ies?
Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh!

[Verse 2]
We will not tolerate Daryl Gates, hates, beats
Blacks, creates mistakes, false facts—fuck that
Get my gat from under my hat, surprise;
Wait! Don't wait! Anticipate fate, liberate state
—of mind, necessary millimeter nine, we're reaching out so we can feed the blind
Here, it's clear

[Chorus]
We will not tolerate—fear!

[Outro]
Huh-hah! Huh-hah! Hoh-hah! Hoo-hah!
Hahh!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Freestyle Fellowship take it back to 1991’s To Whom It May Concern… to perform an a cappella version of “We Will Not Tolerate”. Along with the a cappella element, there are some minor lyrical changes, but it’s overall the same song.
