Hip-hop was created to speak out to the mainstream life, political issues and social ideas. That is why I think this is a very good written rap against the mainstream idea of today you can see in the news. The common idea of today is that anybody can become a victim of the white (middle-aged) male, what off course is not true. Well it is true like Tom MacDonald states in his bars; the people who run the most upper system are the ones to blame and they happen to be white, at least in Europe and North-America probably, but all the people of the world are victimized by them! I think this is a real protest rap against the ideas that we have to be separated based on race, class, religion, etc. We have to stand up and protest to the real ones doing this to us.
I know it is probably going to be very controversial and there are people who may not going to like this song, but I hope we can view and listen it with an open mind and the cultural and social life of America in your back head. It is a different point of view for a lot of people that most of the times is not even heard or shut down; that is why I want to present is in the terms of hip-hop. Controversy makes for a good song.
[verse 1]
I cannot feel guilty for shit that I didn't do
But I can understand the reasons why you think that I should
Yeah I'm white but I never put your neck in no noose
And I never burnt a cross or hid my face with a hood
You can't just label me racist cause I'm related to people
Who did some terrible shit way back before I was alive
My parents brought me up to treat everyone as an equal
I refuse to feel ashamed cause of my pretty blue eyes
Fuck a nazi, fuck a white supremacist
Fuck anyone who labels me as that because of my family genetics
The hatred for Caucasians is so fucking pathetic
Go be proud that you're black, but don't hate me for some credit
I'm not the white devil, neo-nazi, cop tryin to pull the trigger
You can call me what you want but I'd still never say ___
The white race as a whole ain't the enemy
There's racist white people but we're far from that collectively
[hook]
White boy, don't say that
White boy, oh you so bad
White boy you wish you were black
White boy, hey white boy
[Chorus]
White boy, white noise
Sayin shit I can't say with my white voice
White boys, white lies
Don't tell me how to see it through my white eyes
[verse 2]
If a black man is sippin' on cognac sittin' next to me
I don't assume that every blacks favorite drink is Hennesy
I don't dislike Tanesha cause her first name isn't Stephanie
Not only is that wrong, its a fucking waste of energy
Ivory or ebony, 45 or 17 we all bleed the same
Martin Luther King or Kennedy
They're angry I'm recitin' the facts
He white and he raps, and stole the culture [?]
Okay he's fire but we lit the flame and syphoned the gas
So fuck this corny little honky, man the whitey is wack
You lettin' history perpetuate the hatred within
And then you paint me with the brush you painted slave owners with
Yeah
[hook]
White boy, don't say that
White boy, oh you so bad
White boy you wish you were black
White boy, hey white boy
[Chorus]
White boy, white noise
Sayin shit I can't say with my white voice
White boys, white lies
Don't tell me how to see it through my white eyes
[verse 3]
I got a mother, a father, a sister, an auntie and uncle, and a grandma that I picture when you're openly hatin'
And god willin' one day I have a kid of my own
I refuse to let you blindly hate my wife or my baby
So go ahead and hate the racists, I pray for their extinction
If you wanna hate the white people just make a distinction
Between the ones who want the best for everyone regardless
And the ones who built the system just to smother you with hardship
Stop before you say it, I know what you been thinkin'
Hows a straight white male in 2018 [?]
You're making me the villain by demonizing my race
For things I didn't do and decisions I didn't make
No one that I call a friend has ever owned a slave
And neither did our dads or our dad's dads for fuck sakes
Acknowledging the atrocities were wrongly committed
Is all that I can offer while I'm wrongly convicted
I would never hate a man for what god gave him in pigments
And I would never plot against him just because he is different
I would never judge a human for the cards he was given
Or call them lesser than myself cause of the race that he's mixed with
White people that you hate aren't your neighbors or lawyers
They're the Rockafellers, Rothschilds, Bushes, and royals
They're the people who monopolize the water and oil
And injected your communities with drugs 'til they spoil
Got no patients for nazis I think they're better off dead
They're fighting hatred with hatred makin' the hate more intense
I don't want nothing to do with either side of the fence
So don't blindly attack me for wearing braids on my head
Hate the people who believe you put yourselves in the ghetto
Hate the ones who teach they children you ain't shit cause they said so
Hate the ones who think you're all the same and judge you profusely
Cause the way you're portrayed on our news and in movies
Bein' white and bein' racist aren't the same man I promise
Know it's hard to tell the difference if I'm just bein' honest
I deserve the chance to show you I'm not part of the problem
And you owe it to yourselves, we got so much in common
[hook]
White boy, don't say that
White boy, oh you so bad
White boy you wish you were black
White boy, hey white boy
[Chorus]
White boy, white noise
Sayin shit I can't say with my white voice
White boys, white lies
Don't tell me how to see it through my white eyes
