What If I Was White
What if I was white
what if I was white
my first crush would never call my nigga
when got older I would miss the bigger picture
probably would never use the word
unless im siting rap lryics
at a party where its never overheard
what if I was white
prolly wouldn't get a shocking look
growing up when I would say my name was Richard
friend would never say
I was their favorite black person
and opinion on the country wont be something seen as bitter
what If was white
police would probably never pull over
never get arrested workers not over my shoulder
I wont be a terrorist
I would be a gunman
mistakes dont equate my whole race im just one man
so younger I would wish over
younger I would wish over and over
so younger I wish over and over
younger I would wish over and over
what If I was white (repeat x4)
but nigga im black
and white people think I wanna kill em
when I tell em that im feeling hella oppressed
and nazi's can rally in the land of the free
where my people get killed over protest
cuz im black police pull me over 3 times
cuz I got something hanging form the rearview
and I can count five homies
that police fucking killed
shouting hella loud
niggas please dont shoot
cuz im black
im less likely to get the fucking job
even if I get a fucking haircut
and maybe we be shooting all day and all night
cuz we feel like this world never hears us
cuz I'm black my hair is called nappy instead of curling
and more likely to die in your city before 30
and somehow all the drugs and gun in my hood
at least thats they tell me on the news
but what if I was human
what if I was human (x3)
but what if Black was human (repeat x4)
