Sick Of It All
Ektomorf Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You hate me
Can't stand my shade
Of my darker skin
Don't know me
But show me
Your ignorance
Like my skin's a sin
Don't hate you
But you hate me
But one thing
You must understand
If you stress me
Or test me
You'll feel the wrath, see,
Of a crazy man
See your face of disgust
Your lack of faith
Lack of trust
You judge my race, you're quick to rush
But you don't know me
What the fuck
Your race is used full of lies
We bring about your demise
My righteousness is on the rise
You wanna see the truth
Open your eyes
All the pain you caused for me
All those hate you caused for me
I'm just sick of it all
Don't give a fuck about you
I'm just sick of you all
Don't give a fuck about you
I'm just sick of it all
We don't give a fuck about you
I'm just sick of you all
Don't give a fuck about you
Are you fool,
Are you friend?
What state of mind
Are you in?
So many lies
You've been told
That you repeat
Since you were three years old
Break the mold
Change the game
Release yourself
From all that pain
'Cause if you maintain
The things you do
When you're yelling, "Fuck me"
I'm screaming, "Fuck you!"
All the pain you caused for me
All those hate you caused for me
I'm just sick of it all
Don't give a fuck about you
I'm just sick of you all
Don't give a fuck about you
I'm just sick of it all
We don't give a fuck about you
I'm just sick of you all
Don't give a fuck about you
Why
Do you do the things you do
Why
Can't you ever tell the truth
You
Do you even have a clue
We
We don't give a fuck about you
The lyrics of Ektomorf's song Sick Of It All reflect the frustration and anger of an individual who is constantly judged on the basis of their skin color. The opening lines "You judge me, you hate me, can't stand my shade, of my darker skin" convey the sense of discrimination that the person is constantly subjected to. The use of the word "sin" in the line "Like my skin's a sin" illustrates how the societal norms view people with different skin colors as wrong or immoral.
The song highlights the ignorance of those who judge others on the basis of their skin color without even knowing them. The lines "Don't know me, but show me, your ignorance" reveal the irony of the situation. The person being judged is fully aware that the judgment is based on ignorance rather than any factual or rational basis. The song's chorus, "I'm just sick of it all, don't give a fuck about you," reflects the pent-up frustration and anger of the person who is fed up with constantly being treated unfairly.
The lines "Are you fool, are you friend, what state of mind are you in?" suggest that the person is looking for a deeper understanding of the motivations behind the discriminatory behavior. The song encourages breaking free from the societal norms and "release yourself from all that pain." The lines "When you're yelling, 'Fuck me,' I'm screaming, 'Fuck you!'" encapsulate the anger the person feels towards those who judge them without even attempting to get to know them.
Overall, Ektomorf's song Sick Of It All is a powerful reflection of the societal issue of racism and discrimination that still exists today. It highlights the ignorance behind such behavior and encourages individuals to break free from societal norms that support such discrimination.
