A person on Youtube gave me consideration Bb Eb/A Gm
when he complained about my video on reparations (now deleted) Gm7 F Cm/Eb
and it made me think long and hard about the strife Cm C#dim Dm
of the Jena 6 , from the Little Rock 9 C# dim Dm F

and then he told me slaves didn't deserve a dime Bb Eb/A F#
and tough luck to agent orange vicitms in Vietnam Gm7 F Cm/Eb
and so I tried to get him to see Dmaj Ebmaj7 Dmaj
just what race, means to me Esus, Asus
so here's my plea. A

If I was white
I'd probably be like my friend Kenneth
who takes trips to other countries
every weekend or so and
I would take it easy
get a show on prime time TV
like sarah Silverman
and get paid to make stupid jokes about boobies and

That's alright
I love being black but I wouldn't mind the priveledge of
Being white

If I was white
I'd probably be in Harvard now
getting stoned with rich white kids
whose dads own law firms and
I'd use them to get a good job
so I could make a lot of money
and buy some bling-bling jewelry
and get some hip-hop CD's
to feel like I am urban and

That's alright
I love being black but I wouldn't mind the priveledge of
Being white

Open your Eyes
don't you see that
75% of the
US is white and
obviously you get certain
priveledges that you don't
acknowledge but we do and
that's why it pisses me off
when people say stupid things like
"Race doesn't matter"
that's such fucking bullshit!

But you don't know where you come from
We don't know where we come from
The US of Amnesia
no historical perspective

and that's not alright.

If I was white
Pictures of Jesus
would make a lot more sense

and Santa wouldn't be some
creepy old white man
who wanted me to sit on his lap.

I wouldn't be the first person in a horror movie to die.
I could yell back at the police when they deny me my rights.
But I'd like to think I'd say "Fuck the system" and fight.

If I was white, If I was white.
