"This Is My White Voice" lyrics

"This Is My White Voice"
(feat. Lateef the Truthspeaker, Lyrics Born)
(from "Sorry To Bother You" soundtrack)


It's called the white voice
I guess I'm... a natural at it

This is my white voice, this is my white voice
I drink peppermint tea to keep my pipes moist
This is my white voice, this is my white voice
What a time to be alive, this is the high point

Uh, who am I? Good question
Wait a minute, who are you?
Code-switching like a motherfucker
Thumbs up, super cool
Sealed copy, original pressing
Virgin vinyl, hoopskerdo
Cashew milk, turmeric juice
Bamboo shoots and super food
Come on, don't hate the player, you would do it, too
If it'll get me a loan, get me a home, get me a Subaru
A chocolate labrador, a Tahoe cabin or
Camping, hiking, mountain climbing
Kathmandu and Ecuador
Hey, buddy, don't judge me
Deep down, I'm still your ninja, mane
Again, don't hate the player
Come on, now, hate the Jenga game

This is my white voice, this is my white voice
I drink peppermint tea to keep my pipes moist
This is my white voice, this is my white voice
What a time to be alive, this is the high point

How much of you can you give 'til you break?
How much of you gettin' used can you take?
All of these man-made things that we make
How many of them for your soul's a fair trade?
Or maybe just a piece, pound of flesh from your face
Maybe your voice, trade treble for bass, I mean
It's your choice, at least that's what they say
As long as you can do the job and get paid (And get paid)
Code-switch, notice the flow is gorgeous
As long as your point of view is corporate
You'll be supported unless there's some orphans
Then you'll get sacrificed, your career murdered
So that those that came before you can go further
Hold up the status quo that they've courted
On their knees, all needs go unnoticed
All good deeds exploited and then punished
Gone are the times when the TVs were black and white
Largely defined of the feeling that white was right

This is my white voice, this is my white voice
I drink peppermint tea to keep my pipes moist
This is my white voice, this is my white voice
What a time to be alive, this is the high point
This is my white voice, this is my white voice
I drink peppermint tea to keep my pipes moist
This is my white voice, this is my white voice
What a time to be alive, this is the high point
