Race War (feat. Adam Calhoun)
It's okay to be racist
As long as you hatin' on the Caucasians
Teachin' white kids that their shade's the same as school shooters and rapists
Maybe I'm trippin', 'cause the white children
Have been gettin' taught that they got white privilege
By the white guys in the high heels who identify as the white women
I'm not proud to be white, but I'm fine with it
Guess I'm not allowed to have pride in it
'Cause the colonizers and the white bigots made white history my business
I ain't never gonna give a damn if you like me
I ain't gon' trip when they stereotype me
I'm a white boy and a white boy like me
Knows that all lives matter, bite me
When I was younger they taught me to never see color
To treat every man as if he was my brother
But now that we're grown up we hate one another
For all of the ways that we struggle and suffer
They comin' for blood and we're runnin' for cover
The government wants us divided and dumber
Addicted and drunk in the gutter so we never wake up and never recover
Call me culture vulture 'cause I rap good
I don't pop Xans or smoke backwoods
But they call me a wigger and label me Hitler
And hate like I am wearin' a Klan hood
It ain't left or right or black or white, it's good and evil
Elite folks ain't normal people
United we stand and divided we fall
America, we got to get real
You were segregated, that was not fair
You were enslaved, they did not care
But you were never on a plantation and my generation was not there
That's trauma in your DNA causin' what we see today
I pray to God you stayin' strong, don't wanna see no man in pain
Dear white folks, I'm embarrassed
Some of y′all are such Karens
That prejudice you inherited was racism from your parents
Get that poison out of your veins, whites and blacks are all the same
They want us in our graves, just let me try to explain
I swear they want us in a race war
Dyin' every day for whose lives matter more
(Whoa)
I won't be dyin' in the race war
Our government is paid for 'cause our lives matter more
(Whoa)
If you born black, you lose
Might as well go get that noose
You gonna die before you twenty-five, get shot over your shoes
You gon' get killed by police even when you follow the rules
If you listen to the news, you gon' believe all this is true (true)
I ain't feelin' no white guilt, they won't riot for me when I'm killed
I guess white lives don't matter, sad, but that's the way that I feel
I feel like they feel like I don't know what they all call me
Cis white male, bigot, racist, he's a Nazi
That's not me, I'm not one of these white liberal commies
Who think Black America needs allies in they army
Your neighborhood's all gang, you claim you Pro-Black, but you fakin'
Guys are dyin' on the pavement, all your hashtags won't save them
That ain't gangsta
People beggin' for their life still
I know white people who can't afford to pay their light bill
Who might feel like they the ones who losin' they life
When the worst thing you could be is not ashamed to be white
White privilege is a system they position for division
If you're black, you go to prison, if you're white, your life is different
Take some money, race, religions, sprinkle in some ammunition
And make everyone believe that the other team is the villain
I ain't pro-black, I ain't pro-white, I'm pro-American
Every color turns to bones one day when you bury them
Whites or blacks are all the same
They want us in our graves, just let me try to explain
I swear they want us in a race war
Dyin' every day for whose lives matter more
(Whoa)
I won't be dyin' in the race war
Our government is paid for 'cause our lives matter more
(Whoa)
They want us in a race war, dyin' in the streets
Should be us against them, but it's you against me
Ain't nobody gonna win, everybody gon' see
That the color of your skin don't change the color that you bleed
I swear they want us in a race war
Dyin' every day for whose lives matter more
(Whoa)
I won't be dyin' in the race war
Our government is paid for 'cause our lives matter more
(Whoa)
