CHILL OUT !!!
(It Ain't Necessarily So)

Lyrics by - Avi Hoffman / Chorus - inspired by G. Gershwin

Refrain - You Don't have to hate to be cool
You Don't have to hate to be cool
The lesson is clear if you just try to hear that-
You Don't have to hate to be cool


Thousands of years ago in pre-historic times
People couldn't talk, so they couldn't make up rhymes
All they knew was how to work together everyday
To kill some animals to eat along the way
They didn't know what hate was yet. They didn't have the brain
But they knew how to make love, or else they'd go insane

Refrain-

Now later on in Egypt, when Pharoah was around
You had to build those pyramids, you couldn't make a sound
The Brothers and the Jews worked together in the heat
Pushing rocks and rolling stones, before they got to eat
The work was really awful and the hours were too long
But everyone was colored, 'cause the sun was really strong

Refrain-

It wasn't till much later when the white man hit the scene
Things got complicated and everyone got mean
The Blacks were sold as slaves and you had to kill the Jews
Red, Brown and Yellow - Everybody was abused
Now I'm not sayin' that the white man is to blame
The criminal is Hatred - Now sing the refrain

Refrain/Solo -


World War 1 and World War 2, we should have learnt our lessons
All the wars this century were major hatred sessions
It's not enough that millions die of hunger and diseases
But lately when I hear the news - My heart just freezes
A lot of people seem to think it's cool to be a Nazi
But Hitler was an A-hole and their brains have gone to pot, see-
'Cause anyone that goes around the country saying Heil
Had better realize that Hate is going out of style

Refrain-
Now I think it's time for my little rap to end
I didn't mean to hurt, to insult or to offend
I only want to show that inside we're all the same
Everybody's blood is red, everybody has a name
And every heart is broken at one time or another
Everyone around you is a sister or a brother
Anyway you look at it, we're all related
Everything began when the world was created
And maybe it's simplistic to think that Hate will go away
You have to start somewhere, that's all I have to say
