lyrics

I don't Know where to begin,
first of all, if you're white and got a problem,
I don't care what you think,
not enough of y'all care about this
and the ones that do, well
they're considered rare and distinct
the rest of y'all should be embarrassed as shit,
don't speak the truth cause you're worried what your friends and your parents 'll think
The nerve to say that you don't care about skin,
when the cops,, don't on a daily basis, roll around and threaten your kin,
you don't care about skin?
George died the way a white guy never would,
you'd still be there if you're him
They want to dig up his rap sheet while they're burying him
But Ahmaud died for jogging, you ain't care about him!
Now here's the part where I stop you,
you didn't get the memo,
you don't care about skin, but the cops do
You know its not fair, and its not cool
the only reason you do not care is cause it's not you
Is he talking bout me? Well I couldn't be clearer
The best way to find out is to look in the mirror
If its hitting home, it worked,
I think that by now deep down that you know that you're a jerk
And this is why nothing ever changes ,
cause you don't see them more than just as fun and entertainment
If you like rap more than you like blacks,
than you sir are a certified piece of white trash
and the tragedy is this,
if you loved them as much as you love their culture
then that would be the shit
But nah, you wanna take and not give,
have a big ass plate and then skate from the crib
You want their artistry , their charm and their comedy
you want their inventions. dishes and discographies
Throw yourself in the mix, quite obnoxiously
but you don't want the heat, don"t want to hear what their problems be
Are you a piece of shit?
Probably, cause you never cared that Eric Garner never got to breathe
You want their attention, you want their approval
but you wont stand against their lives unlawful removal
Cops are bad, Ronald Reagan brought all the crack,
that's why cooperation's a sin , we don't honor rats
See the problem's that
You'll always care a whole lot more about Boston than you ever will, Harlem ,Facts
i hate this shit it really makes me sick
I know that many think I shouldn't say this shit Ill take that risk,
and i don"t care how y'all take this shit
, too many white people, dumb as fuck and out to lunch i got to babysit
Don't think Coolman is just fucking spliffs and jokes
i been mad since they used blackface on Different Strokes
I was small then , I'm big now,
On the low, its high time I tell the world what I think now
And I ain't study none of this in books ,
it's just what I've seen and it"s more ugly than it looks
and all that but a but but a, we don't need it now
cause all that bullshit, it serves as a breeding ground
these white rappers culturally greedy now
watch the tape than maybe repost then its nothing to speak about
or read about or even feel about
you were sitting back, feeling out how it'd look if you don't tweet it out
the way you see it and I see it is night and day,
cause that shit , it hit me in the heart like right away
you strictly in it for the vibes and the perks
don't wanna stick around for the hard times and hurt
you love black culture, wanna try your turn
but you don't offer any water when the fire burns
fuck you and everybody that loves you,
and all your white friends that hate rap but love your shit,
they fucking suck too
you got a black man as a best homie,
but it's not the best homie , cause it seems that it's in health only
time to make rumblings out of small murmurs
you sound dumb saying this a murder, they ALL murders!
ain't no big murders or small murders
cop perpetrate a hate crime then go to Wahlburgers
and then you talking how you would have reacted
when the fact is you're not a black adult or a black kid
How you would have reacted , it wouldn't have mattered
you're not the one that they after getting blasted
so shut the fuck up for once\ in your life
your circumstances and theirs are fucking nothing alike
no accounting for the trauma and the bruises
while some white people sit around and conjure up excuses
White cop kills back person, you say black on black crime
THE SAME BULLSHIT THAT YOU SAID THE LAST TIME!
ugly white privilege all up in your face
the audacity to say that the problem isn't race
I got a lot to say , don't stop the tape
i felt this way a lot of days, but kept it locked away
but like four ladies on a road trip to a wedding,
that ain't seen each other in a long time, we gonna talk today
when will we listen , to the people existing
in the evil conditions that we repeatedly give 'em\
and leave 'em grief stricken
another bighearted brown skin police victim
another cracker that 'll find dirt to heap on him
so we can dismiss it and say he was a crook and never speak of him
bloods and crips, you only give 'em hatred, but when the Russians and Italians are Gangsters , its sophisticated
you don't care if the system changes
cause it's in your favour, you think you're neutral, i think you're racist
Sak pase's what you saying out your mouth
but you'd never in your life, have a Haitian in your house
you're a hypocrite, and its up to you to change or live with it
you're ignorant to Joumou soup and its significance
didn't give half a shit about Kaepernick ,
and his peaceful display for the establishment hes had it with
and then you called all the activists savages
but offer no alternatives, that typical cracker shit
you value property more than you do black lives
and you still don't know that you're the bad guy
to all my black friends , dont let 'em crush your spirit
me i don't even live it , and I'm standing here livid
as i wrote this I doubted me
but i couldn't stop, soon as i started, it started pouring out of me
this ain't no rhetoric, without y'all I was never shit,
i'm good at one thing in this life, and y'all invented it
so I would be a vulture and a fraud
to say fucking nothing, while nothing is resolved
Justice For Tamir, he was twelve now hes gone
the cop didn't get charged in fact he got back his job
Justice For David Mcatee , yet another victim
used to give the pigs free food until they killed him
shudder to think how long will the terror persist
justice for Oscar and Alton, they ain't let them exist
Breeona, Mike , Philando Sean Trayvon, Aiyana ,Amadou
Sandra Keith and John there's no end to the list
Canada, don't pat yourself on the back
cause indigenous women go missing all the time and you do not react
a lot of y'all see the stories but you're scrolling past, cause you know you'll feel better if you don't know the facts
You think you're from a nice place but we was never cool
imprisoning indigenous children in residential schools\
Thanksgiving , ask yourself what you're celebrating
instead dedicate a day to the first nations
you wanna use all their symbols as a decoration
but you won't stand against the pillaging and desecration
Listen n learn, this isn't your world, real history's not the bullshit we've been learned
the most disgusting fucking thing that I've heard , Harper said
"missing native girls not high on the list of concerns
Justice for Chantel, don't ever forget , killed for no reason
in Edmunston during a medical check
Fuck the pigs and their negative energy
Justice For Nicholas Gibbs, Trevor Kelly and Freddy V
Me, I've had some tough fucking stuff in my life,
but never once was it ever was because i was white
I got stopped with my black friend by the cops
the differential in treatment wasn't right at all
took me aside they said who's he I said friend they said dealer
they said "Come on, he's over there he can't hear ya"
and this why i don't fuck with 'em
i got to keep my weed
he had to ditch his in the sewers right in front of 'em
they wanna try to ruin his life, for Marijuana worth less than twenty two twenty five
do not lie to myself and say you don't condone it
when your silent complacence is what upholds it
you pardon the problem, you part of the problem
How many innocent lives will it cost 'em?
