White America Meaning
| [[Intro] America! Ha ha ha! 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 that men have died for to protect? The women and men who have broke their necks For the freedom of speech the United States government has sworn to uphold… or so we’re told (Yo, I want everybody to listen to the words of this song) [Verse 1] 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 It’s 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 ‘Til 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 forefront 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 ‘Cause Congress keep tellin’ me I ain’t causin’ nothin’ 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 I’m 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! (Yah!) 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! [Verse 2] Look at these eyes, baby blue, baby just like yourself If they were brown, Shady’d lose, Shady sits on the shelf But Shady’s cute, Shady knew Shady’s dimples would help Make ladies swoon, baby (Ooh, 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 Give me the mic! Show me where the fuckin’ studio’s at When I was underground, no one gave a fuck I was white No labels wanted to sign me, almost gave up, I was like “Fuck it,” until I met Dre, the only one to look 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 prob’ly his in exchange for every white fan that he’s got Like damn, we just swapped: sittin’ back lookin’ at shit, wow I’m like my skin is it startin’ to work to my benefit now? It’s— , [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! (Yah!) 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! [Verse 3] See, the problem is I speak to suburban kids Who otherwise would’ve never knew these words exist Whose moms prob’ly would’ve never gave two squirts of piss ‘Til I created so much motherfuckin’ turbulence Straight out the tube, right into your livin’ 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, tightenin’ around my throat Watchin’ me while I write this, like, “I don’t like this note!” All I hear is: lyrics, lyrics, constant controversy Sponsors workin’ ’round the clock to try to stop my concerts early Surely hip-hop was never a problem in Harlem, only in Boston After it bothered the fathers of daughters startin’ to blossom So now I’m catchin’ the flak from these activists when they raggin’ Actin’ like I’m the first rapper to smack a bitch or say “faggot”, shit Just look at me like I’m your closest pal The poster child, the motherfuckin’ spokesman now, for— , [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! (Yah!) 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! [Outro] So to the parents of America, I am the Derringer Aimed at little Erica to attack her character The ringleader of this 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 *galf* and replace it with a Parental Advisory sticker To spit liquor in the faces of this democracy of hypocrisy Fuck you, Ms. Cheney! Fuck you, Tipper Gore! Fuck you with the freest of speech this Divided States of Embarrassment will allow me to have! Fuck you! Ha ha ha, I’m just playin’, America You know I love you] |
