The White Sin
One of the most disturbing things, over the past few days, I think, has been the treatment of whiteness as some kind of moral disease, you know?
Apparently all white people are racists
I'm sorry George Floyd got killed
I kneel
But I don't feel white guilt
That's real
Had guns in my face, a bunch
By cops!
Had my face slammed off my trunk
By cops!
Piece of shit come in every race
That's facts
Some working for the fucking state
And wear a badge
Doesn't matter where you come from
Black hood
Yo, this shit affectin' everyone
Backwoods
I'm not sorry I was born white
You act like it was my choice
You act like it was my knee that suffocated George Floyd
You act like I don't give a shit
You act like I did the shit
You act like I think that all black folks are ignorant
I refuse to be labeled as the same across the table
Baby, red been sheddin' all the way to Cain and Abel
I ain't Karen in the park, and I ain't Derek Chauvin
I ain't nothin' like those mothafuckers
Skin's the only thing we have in common
On my phone watchin' George dying?
Swear to God!
If I was there, I would've rushed the cops or died tryin'
And I ain't sayin' it's the fault of people there, that didn't
I'm just saying, I ain't sitting back, white or black
Fuck pigment!
Victim is a victim
And so you don't get me wrong
The only ones that's in the wrong
Had the badges and pistols on
Along that same thought process, if I'm being honest
Why I'm supposed to feel guilty for shit that I ain't involved with?
I ain't never been to Klan rallies
Neither has my granddaddy
The ex-girl is black, almost had a black granddaddy
And when I get a tan, I look mucho Mexican
Think I never been through problemos?
Betta' guess again
Guess we back to Guests, again
'Cause of this mess we in
Even though I never been one to hate because of skin
Fuck it
Paint us all with the same brush
Don't blame the bad apples
Blame the whole bunch!
I feel like Sonny
This ruined my whole lunch
Sick to my stomach
God, I don't know who to trust!
One channel says this!
One channel says that!
One says he ain't resist!
One says he fought back!
Yo, I thought that
What if we had roles reversed?
And I was in a hearse
I wonder how many cities would've burned?
When will we learn?
God, I know you' comin'
To take us home, to that paradise that don't see color
Just my brother
Just my sister
Just my family
Just one nation under God
Just humanity
It's God' planet, man
We need to get our shit together
'Cause, God planned for people to live free in peace together
Forever!
So rest in peace, George Floyd
You deserve justice
Along with everyone who died from racist mothafuckers
And 'cause of that, you best believe I'll take a knee to show respect
But if you're waiting on apologies from me, don't hold your breath
I'm not guilty
No, I'm not guilty
Apparently all white people are racists
I'm sorry George Floyd got killed
I kneel
But I don't feel white guilt
That's real
Had guns in my face, a bunch
By cops!

By cops!
