"White Privilege" lyrics

Life's a blessing
Told my momma
White privilege gonna throw me farther
Pray to God but he don't wanna talk to
Me again without a soul to offer
I know the cost of being broken off you
Rock a baby don't rock the toddler
You talking crazy gossip daily

I got a leg up
Because of my skin tone
White privilege
This white privilege
This white privilege
This white privilege
Because of my skin tone
This white privilege
This white privilege
This white privilege
This white privilege

This what it is why pick at feds america's livin' in ivory
And if you stay quiet you part of the problem, complain about rioting
You value the store more than the people outside when they tryna breathe
Wrist in the cuffs, a knee on a neck, majority siding with tyranny
Tyrannical government keepin' us under control and controlling the states
If you a person of color a ticket with speeding could end with a case
But shit if I get pulled over I don't even sweat cause I know that I'm safe
This shit is twisted I wish it was different I'm ashamed of my privilege and race
So fuck the cops and fuck anybody who wanna stand with them
How you gon' kill a man that's done nothing wrong except being black and american
They create the ghettos and supply the crack
To design a crime they can blame on black
To get prisons up its a legal way to get slavery back
What you think of that
Wait no you don't think of that
Since the system never went and fucked you over
You don't give a damn to the police will cap
'Cause they protect you right (Protect you right)
Naw dog they protect the white
What if the tables turned
And the police of colour
Start to target you and they shoot on sight

Life's a blessing
Told my momma
White privilege gonna throw me farther
Pray to God but he don't wanna talk to
Me again without a soul to offer
I know the cost of being broken off you
Rock a baby don't rock the toddler
You talking crazy gossip daily

I got a leg up
Because of my skin tone
White privilege
This white privilege
This white privilege
This white privilege
Because of my skin tone
This white privilege
This white privilege
This white privilege
This white privilege

I'm sick of my people just dying for nothing (Dyin' for nothin')
Any time we talk about it you say we crying for nothing
They killing my brothers and sisters then try disguise it as justice
It's a problem until you admit it we can't even have a discussion
Can never pay us what we work
I'm guessin' we not in the budget
They only ever gave us dirt
So we had to get it out the gutter
They poisoned our community with crack cocaine
And made the dope gained and then blamed the people of colour
I'm truly disgusted you using drugs as a tool to start bustin' (Wow)
12 is a game that needs to be stopped (Needs to be stopped)
If I can stop by and come back and shot up one of 'em block
Twist of the plot this is my block he pulled me over I'm shot
I'm 4 minutes from my spot
He asked for my license
I reach for my wallet he pull the trigger now I'm dead on the spot
Listen you don't seem to get it
Tonight be judged for your pigment
But believe at night its a privilege
I bet division would be different if you get what we been getting
You never acknowledge the issue so you don't see the division
You just act like it is what it is

Life's a blessing
Told my momma
White privilege gonna throw me farther
Pray to God but he don't wanna talk to
Me again without a soul to offer
I know the cost of being broken off you
Rock a baby don't rock the toddler
You talking crazy gossip daily

I got a leg up
Because of my skin tone
White privilege
This white privilege
This white privilege
This white privilege
Because of my skin tone
This white privilege
This white privilege
This white privilege
This white privilege
