Whiteboy

[Verse 1: Tom MacDonald]
I cannot feel guilty for ѕh¡t that I didn't do
But I can understand the reasons
Why you think that I should
Yeah, I'm white but I never put your neck in no noose
And I never burnt a cross or hid my face with a hood
You can't just label me racist 'Cuz I'm related to people
Who did some terrible ѕh¡t way back before I was alive
My parents brought me up to treat everyone as an equal
I refuse to feel ashamed 'Cuz of my pretty blue eyes
Fμcκ a Nazi, fμcκ a white supremacist
Fμcκ anyone who labels me as that
Because of my family genetics
The hatred for Caucasians is so fμcκ¡ng pathetic
Go be proud that you're black
But don't hate me for some credit
I'm not the white Devil, neo-Nazi
Cop tryna pull the trigger
You can call me what you want but I'd still never say—
The white race as a whole ain't the enemy
There's racist white people
But we're far from that collectively

[Chorus: Tom MacDonald]
White boy, don't say that
White boy, oh, you so bad
White boy, you wish you were black
White boy, dear white boy
White boy, white noise
Saying ѕh¡t I can't say with my white voice
White boys, white lies
Don't tell me how to see it through my white eyes

[Verse 2: Tom MacDonald]
If a black man is sipping on some Cognac sitting next to me
I don't assume that every black's favorite drink is Hennessy
I don't dislike Tanesha 'Cuz her first name isn't Stephanie
Not only is that wrong, it's a fμcκ¡ng waste of energy
Ivory or ebony, forty-five or seventeen
We all bleed the same, Martin Luther King or Kennedy
They're angry I'm reciting the facts
"He's white and he raps, he stole the culture right from the blacks
Ok, he's fire but we lit the flame, he's siphoning gas
So fμcκ this corny little honky, man, the whitey is wack"
You letting history perpetuate the hatred within
And then you paint me with the brush you painted slave owners with, yeah

[Chorus: Tom MacDonald]
White boy, don't say that
White boy, oh, you so bad
White boy, you wish you were black
White boy, dear white boy
White boy, white noise
Saying ѕh¡t I can't say with my white voice
White boys, white lies
Don't tell me how to see it through my white eyes

[Verse 3: Tom MacDonald]
I got a mother, a father, a sister, an auntie, and uncle
And a grandma that I picture when you're openly hatin'
And God willing one day I'll have a kid of my own
I refuse to let you blindly hate my wife or my baby
So go ahead and hate the racists
I pray for their extinction
If you wanna hate the white people, just make a distinction
Between the ones who want the best for everyone regardless
And the ones who built the system
Just to smother you with hardship
So stop before you say it, I know what you been thinkin'
How's a straight white male in 2018 bitchin'?
You're making me the villain by demonizing my race
For things I didn't do and decisions I didn't make
No one that I call a friend has ever owned a slave
And neither did our dads, or our dad's dads, fμcκ sakes
Acknowledging atrocities were wrongly committed
Is all that I can offer when I'm wrongly convicted

[Verse 4: Tom MacDonald]
I would never hate a man for what God gave him in pigments
And I would never plot against him
Just because he is different
I would never judge a human for the cards he was given
Or call him lesser than myself
'Cuz of the race that he's mixed with
White people that you hate aren't your neighbors or lawyers
They're the Rockefellers, Rothschilds, Bushes, and royals
They're the people who monopolize the water and oil
And injected your communities with drugs so they spoiled
Got no patience for Nazis, I think they're better off dead
They're fighting hatred with hatred makin'
The hate more intense
I don't want nothing to do with either side of the fence
So don't blindly attack me for wearing braids on my head
Hate the people who believe
You put yourselves in the ghetto
Hate the ones who teach they children
You ain't ѕh¡t 'Cuz they said so
Hate the ones who think you're all the same
And judge you profusely
'Cuz the way that you're portrayed on our news and in movies

[Bridge: Tom MacDonald]
Being white and being racist aren't the same
Man, I promise
Know it's hard to tell the difference
If I'm just being honest
I deserve the chance to show you
I'm not part of the problem
And you owe it to yourselves
We got so much in common

[Chorus: Tom MacDonald]
White boy, don't say that
White boy, oh, you so bad
White boy, you wish you were black
White boy, dear white boy
White boy, white noise
Saying ѕh¡t I can't say with my white voice
White boys, white lies
Don't tell me how to see it through my white eyes

[Outro: Tom MacDonald]
White boy, don't say that
White boy, oh, you so bad
White boy, you wish you were black
White boy, dear white boy
