White America Lyrics
"I'll go acapella
With no beat like your heart when your body drops from a bullet in your lung"
-Cornelius
No money but the commidoty makes us wanna ball like we Michael Jordan
We're working our souls out
Just to give away our freedom
For paper painted green faces
We never seen in person
But worhsip like they highnesses
And holding all the power
People say I'm a hater
And it's true, I fucking hate the system
Even without it we wouldn't have freedom
We let the white man take it
Make us believe we have to work just to enjoy it
Even got us thinking our God don't share the same skin pigment
And that's a shame ain't it
If I was him, I wonder what I'll be thinking
This ain't a game but we still blow
Like we're playing Atari
But we're simple minded
So we stay simplistic with 10 buttons
And get played like PlayStation
But our life's a box
And we just put a X on it
Mark it out
Scan the list for what's next on it
We're the victim
But play the convicted
Like we did it
We fit it
If we're black
And make less than 100k a year
Then we did it
And we don't need chains to show we're still slaves
So they give us guns, drugs & violence
To let us dig our own graves
And finish their dirty work
Killing off our own race
And it's funny cuz people rather hate
But believe in things they've never seen
Like a "God"
Than those we see everyday
And please
You can sleep on my words
Like a long flight
Who am I to keep you up all night
You got your dreaming to do
And your nightmare to escape
But keep in mind
No one runs to the white
When they're in need of a lonely place
And I don't hold back on my opinions
Or what I believe in
Before I die by another black man
This poem will probably be the reason
And I ain't really got shit to lose
I just want to know why
I always hear shit on the news
How everything matters
But black lives, they never include
So I guess we don't matter
White is the new gold
And black is just fecal matter
And the difference between us & them
When they thought it was the end
We were preparing for tomorrow

When they held their heads high
We lift ours higher
They love to order the truth
But never serve it on a platter
Have it written
Sang
Rapped
Danced
All the ways we blacks learn to communicate
But he took our props for it
Cover it with some white paint
And remixed with bigger words
They fail to teach the blacks in the educating system
They'll always publicize our faults
And hide their blame
So we had to hustle
Cuz we had no choice
Plus we black
So we got no voice
Cops see us on the block
They like cuff him
We tried to resist
Get gunned down
And they like "we got em"
So we try to elevate our culture
And change color of the pictures
The devil put his paint brush on
Before they build cages and crooked cops throw us in the cage
We were all born Kings & queens
But treated like servants & slaves
Mann this system out of pocket
Many nights I've escaped the devil
And you only get one life
And you can't get that back
So I stay humble
But I still say fuck what they say
I'm trying to put cuts in their day
So it can start good
But won't end the same way
*Shout out to Dali for the support & opportunity
Cuz in this game we need it
Culture is everything
But America don't know the meaning
Sat chasing, catching charges
It's re-election season
Bitch, Trump needs to get out of office
Those years have gone, they've curse our color
I ask my God to shine the sun
They gave us rain
We took that water and walked on it
Marching harder than the 300 Spartans
On our darkest day, we're all stars
We shine regardless...
So we stay down
Sing songs
For our brothers now
Help mom's nurture our sisters
Into women from broken homes
Y'all the only thing that matters to me
If y'all love me, fuck everybody
If y'all help me, they can never stop me
If God got me , they can never stop me
