burden - white privilege lyrics

[intro]
thank you, diane
and in today’s news let’s talk about this white privilege

[chorus]
i’m bout to stir up the pot
i’ma talk about what they don’t want me to say
this division of race is a spit in the face
of america look at how far we done came
oh what a shame
how does the media fill us with hate
how do you feel like it’s racist
for someone to say that they’re keeping america great

[verse 1]
now let’s talk about this white privilege
i’ll make it clear so that y’all get this
i ain’t never had an opportunity in life
that was given based what the tone of my skin is
you ain’t oppressed
look at what year it is
there ain’t no talking to you
you ain’t hearing this
he’s just a cracker who walks around talking his sh+t
he’s politically wrong and he’s arrogant, right?
fist in the air black pride that’s great
but if i do the same for my race thats hate
he can do what he wants is what a lot of you say
but if i play with the police i’ma have a bad day (i’ma have a bad day)
so you must be high
done already told you i don’t wanna die
who said it was better they told you a lie
you think that my color gone help me survive?
i don’t despise my hair and my eyes
my heritage made me as handsome as i
don’t make me no better no worse than no other person
just saying i’m happily white (that cool?)
plus we the same lemme explain
work the same jobs and get the same pay
want to pass school had to get the same grades
if you make the same choices you get the same places
[pre+chorus]
lemme speak (white privilege, white privilege)
i work hard for what you see
i was taught ain’t nothing free
if someone got it it ain’t me
(white privilege, white privilege)
let’s talk about this white privilege
let’s talk about this white privilege
don’t exist
with god as my witness

[verse 2]
it’s easy to see
you think i don’t get it cause i don’t agree
like i didn’t make it up out of the street
with nowhere to sleep and nothing to eat
everything that we do by choice
your racist movement ain’t muting my voice
my life been h+ll as far as i can tell
the idea of white privilege been destroyed (yeah, yeah, yeah)
where is the card they say i can pull
kicked out of school for being too cool
i went to jail and i didn’t get bail
i wanted to rent i’m a felon i can’t
so where is all the inequality at
i applied for jobs they ain’t calling me yet
my eyes are green and my skin is white
maybe they’ve been busy yeah that’s gotta be it (that’s gotta be it) you probably believe it
now you got to get even
even though i ain’t seen it
that ain’t the way that i’m treated
telling me you got expectations
of me paying you reparations
well i’m the voice of a million people
feel the same exact way afraid to say this (that ain’t right, right)
[chorus]
i’m bout to stir up the pot
i’ma talk about what they don’t want me to say
this division of race is a spit in the face
of america look at how far we done came
oh what a shame
how does the media fill us with hate
how do you feel like it’s racist
for someone to say that they’re keeping america great

[pre+chorus]
lemme speak (white privilege, white privilege)
i work hard for what you see
i was taught ain’t nothing free
if someone got it it ain’t me
(white privilege, white privilege)
let’s talk about this white privilege
let’s talk about this white privilege
don’t exist
with god as my witness
