White America Lyrics

[Intro]
America, hahaha, We love you

How many people are proud to be citizens of this beautiful country of ours?
The stripes and the stars for the rights of men who have died for the protect
The women and men who have broke their necks for the freedem of speech the United States Government has sworn to uphold
(Yo, I want everyone to listen to the words of this song)
Or so we're told...

I never would've dreamed in a million years I'd see
So many motherfuckin' people who feel like me
Who share the same views and the same exact beliefs
I'ts like a fuckin' army marchin' in back of me
So many lives i touched
So much anger aimed in no particular direction
Just sprays and sprays
And straight through your radio waves
It plays and plays
'Till it stays stuck in your head
For days and days
Who would've thought standin in this mirror
Bleachin' my hair with some Peroxide
Reachin' for a T-shirt to wear
That I would catapult to the fore-front of rap like this
How could I predict my words would have an impact like this
I must've struck a chord with somebody up in the office
Cuz congress keeps tellin' me
I ain't causin' nuthin' but problems
And now they're sayin' I'm in trouble with the government
I'm lovin' it
I shoveled shit all my life
And now im dumpin' it on

[Chorus]
WHITE AMERICA
I could be one of your kids
WHITE AMERICA
Little Eric looks just like this
WHITE AMERICA
Erica loves my shit
I go to TRL
Look how many hugs I get

Look at these eyes baby blue baby just like yourself
If they were brown
Shady lose, Shady sits on the shelf
But Shady's cute
Shady knew Shady's dimples would help
Make ladies swoon baby
(oooh baby)
Look at my sales!
Let's do the math
If I was black I would've sold half
I ain't have to graduate from Lincoln High School to know that
But i could rap so fuck school
I'm too cool to go back
Gimme the mic
Show me where the fuckin' studios at
When I was underground
No one gave a fuck I was white
No lables wanted to sign me
Almost gave up, I was like "Fuck it"
Until I met Dre
The only one who looked past
Gave me a chance
And I lit a fire up under his ass
Helped him get back to the top
Every fan black that I got
Was probably his in exchange for every white fan that he's got
Like damn we just swapped
Sittin' back look at this shit, wow
I'm like 'my skin is it starting to work for my benifit now?' It's...

[Chorus ]

See the problem is I speak to suburban kids
Who otherwise would've never knew these words exist
Whose moms probably would've never gave 2 squirts of piss
'Till i created so much motherfuckin' turbulence
Straight out the tube, right into your living rooms I came
And kids flipped
When they knew I was produced by Dre
That's all it took
And they were instantly hooked right in
And they connected with me too because I looked like them
That's why they put my lyrics up under this microscope
Searchin' with a fine tooth comb
It's like this rope waitin' to choke
Tightening around my throat
Watching me while I write this, like I dont like this, nope
All i hear is
Lyrics lyrics constant controversy
Sponsors workin' round the clock
To try to stop my concerts early
Surely Hip Hop is never a problem in Harlem only In Boston
After it bothered the fathers of daughters startin' to blossom
Now im catchin' the flack from these activists
When they raggin'
Actin' like im the 1st rapper to smack a bitch or say faggot
Shit
Just look at me like im your closest pal
The poster child
The motherfuckin spokesman now for...

[Chorus]

[Outro]
So to the parents of America
I am the derringer aimed at little Erica
To attack her character
The ringleader of the circus of worthless pawns
Sent to lead the march right up to the steps of Congress
And piss on the lawns of the White House
To burn the casket and replace it with a parental advisory sticker
To spit liquor in the faces of this democracy of hypocrisy
Fuck you Ms Cheeney
Fuck you Tipper Gore
Fuck you with the free-est of speech this Divided State of Embarrasment will allow me to have
Fuck You

Hahaha! I'm just playin' America, you know I love you
