Skit
KEIT & M.A.J Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Когда убили одного,
все спрашивали: кто? кого?
когда? с какою целью?
солдат ли? офицер ли?
Когда убили десять лиц,
все вслух позорили убийц,
запомнив благосклонно
убитых поименно.

Когда убили сто персон,
никто не спрашивал имен —
ни жертв, ни убивавших,
а только — наших? ваших?
Когда убили миллион,
все погрузились в смертный сон,

испытывая скуку,
поскольку сон был в руку.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to KEIT & M.A.J's song skit are controversial and provocative, aimed at ridiculing and insulting brown people, specifically Indians. The opening lines of the song, "Brown gal, brown gal, turn your shit down, you know America don't wanna hear your sound," is clearly derogatory, as it suggests that the brown person's culture and music are inferior and unwanted in America. The subsequent lyrics are equally insulting, with lines like "Boom boom jungle music, go back to India, with your crazy shit, you're bumming up the area" impugning Indian music and culture as uncivilized and undesirable, and urging brown people to go back to India.

The lyrics go on to criticize the brown person's social media presence, saying "looking through your Instagram, looking for a pentagram, all I see is poor people, they should be on ghetto-gram." This line implies that brown people are all poor, and that their aspirations and interests are inferior to those of white people. The lyrics then take on a more aggressive tone, accusing brown people of not understanding American culture, and even trying to steal Madonna's crown. The final lines of the song are violent, with the singer threatening to drone the brown person or Kony 2012 them, a reference to a viral social media campaign against Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony.
