White America

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 of men Who have died for the protect? The women and men who have broke their necks For the freedom of speech The United States Government has sworn to uphold (Yo, I want everyone to listen to the words of this song) Or so we're told I never would a dreamed in a million years I'd see So many mothaf**kin' people who feel like me Who share the same views and the same exact beliefs Its like a f**kin' army marchin' in back of me So many lives I touched So much anger aimed at no particular direction Just sprays and sprays straight through your radio waves It plays and plays till it stays stuck in your head For days and days Who would a thought standin' in this mirror Bleachin' my hair wit some peroxide Reachin' for a T shirt to wear That I would catapult to the fore front of rap like this How can I predict my words and have an impact like this I musta struck a chord wit somebody up in the office Cuz Congress keeps tellin' me I ain't causin' nottin' but problems And now they sayin' Im in trouble wit the government I'm lovin' it I shoveled shit all my life and now I'm dumpin' it on (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 Yea (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 Look at these eyes baby blue baby just like ourself If they were brown Shady lose, shady sits on the shelf, but shady is cute Shady knew shady's dimples would help Make ladies swoon baby (Ooo baby) Look at myself, Lets do the math if I was black I woulda sold half I ain't have to graduate from Lincoln high school to know that But I can rap so f**k school I'm too cool to go back gimme the mic Show me where the f**kin' studio's at When I was underground no one gave a f**k I was white No lables wanted to sign me Almost gave up, I was like 'f**k it' Until I met Dre, the only one who looked past Gave me a chance and I lit a fire up under his a*s Helped him get back to the top Every fan black that I got was probably his in exchange For every white fan that he's got like damn we just swapped Sittin' back look at this shit wow I'm like 'My skin, is it startin' to work to my benefit now?' (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 Yea (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 See the problem is I speak to suburban kids Who otherwise woulda never knew these words exist These moms probly woulda never gave two squirts of piss Till I created so much mothaf**kin' turbulence Straight out the tube right into ya livin' rooms I came And kids flipped when they knew I was produced by Dre Thats all it took and they were instantly hooked right in And they connected wit me too 'cuz I looked like them That's why they put my lyrics up under this microscope Searchin' wit a fine toothed comb Its like this rope waitin' to choke tightenin' around my throat Watchin' me while I write this like 'I dont like this, no' All I hear is lyrics, lyrics constant controversy Sponsors workin' round the clock To try to stop my concerts early Surely 'Hip Hop' is never a problem in Harlem only in Boston After it bothered ya fathers of daughters startin' to blossom Now I'm catchin' the flack from these activists When they raggin' Actin' like I'm the first rapper to smack a bitch And say faggot shit Just look at me like I'm ya closest pal A poster child The mothaf**kin' spokesman now (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 Yea (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 So to the parents of America I am the damager aimed at little Erica To attack her character The ring leader of the 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 casket and replace it With a parental advisory sticker To spit liquor in the faces of this democracy of hypocrisy f**k you Ms Cheeney f**k you tipper Gore f**k you with the freeness of speech This divided states of embarra*sment will allow me to have f**k you (Huh huh huh ahh) (Huh huh huh ahh) (Huh huh huh ahh) (Oooh) Ha ha ha I'm just playin' America, you know I love you
