White Folks (feat. Carmi Harris & Arye Harmony)

I said everywhere I go (Everywhere I go)
I see the same ol' white folk
I see the same ol' white folk
And they don't know
No they don't, no they don't
I said everywhere I go (Everywhere I go)
I see the same ol' white folk
I see the same ol' white folk
And they don't know
No they don't, no they don't

They don't know about the struggles that we go through on the daily
They don't know about the oppression and the slavery
I ain't talkin' way back, I'm talkin' modern day, see
Us as animals and so they throw us in a cage
They don't see the pain in our Black womens' rage
Hurtin' for her brothers out here fightin' everyday
Workin' twice as hard but don't ever get the praise
Somehow some way, man, this all gotta change

Cuz see everywhere I go (Everywhere I go)
I see the same ol' white folk
I see the same ol' white folk
And they don't know
No they don't, no they don't
I said everywhere I go (Everywhere I go)
I see the same ol' white folk
I see the same ol' white folk
And they don't know
No they don't, no they don't

For 400 plus my people been held down
I just want you to know that your people is Hell-bound
My speakers is real loud, of my skin I been proud
Black is always better, they love our culture but hate us
Divide and castrate us, incarcerate, mass grave us
Quick to shoot first, them questions they ask later
Wanna love you, I truly do
But tell me how would you feel if you was me, and I was you
Never truly fought for your rights because of my privilege
Never tried to change these laws that locked you in prison
Don't wanna ruffle the wrong feathers or I'll be a victim
And with that said our conversation's way different
Cuz you'll never understand all the pain we've endured
When daughters become mothers, have to bury they boys
All these years spent in suffrage, still ain't hearin' our voice
If you truly mean to listen, please hold your applause

Everywhere I go (Everywhere I go)
I see the same ol' white folk
I see the same ol' white folk
And they don't know
They don't know
Everywhere I go
I see the same ol' white folk
I see the same ol' white folk
And they don't know
They don't know (No they don't know)

Our back muscles flexin', still front center scenes
More overlooked cuz our attitudes green (money)
Phenomenal blackness amaze black girl magic
Always we carried but still dimmed and tragic (tragedy)
Number one nourisher, our milk is golden
You drink from our hands, our life gifts are potent (life)
Black women keep going, only get smarter
Cuz these same ol' white folks will only try harder

I said everywhere I go (Everywhere I go)
I see the same ol' white folk
I see the same ol' white folk
And they don't know
No they don't, no they don't
I said everywhere I go (Everywhere I go)
I see the same ol' white folk
I see the same ol' white folk
And they don't know
No they don't, no they don't

Everywhere I go (Everywhere I go)
I see the same ol' white folk
I see the same ol' white folk
And they don't know
They don't know
Everywhere I go (Everywhere I go)
I see the same ol' white folk
I see the same ol' white folk
And they don't know
They don't know
