White America

America!
Hahaha!
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 that men have died for to 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 everybody to listen to the words of this song)
Or so we're told
I never would've dreamed in a million years I'd see
So many motherfvxkin' people who feel like me
Who share the same views
And the same exact beliefs
It's like a fvxkin' army marchin in back of me
So many lives I touched
So much anger aimed in no particular direction
Just sprays and sprays
And straight through your radio waves
It plays and plays
'Til it stays stuck in your head
For days and days
Who would've thought standin' in this mirror
Bleachin' my hair with some Peroxide
Reachin' for a T-sh1rt to wear
That I would catapult to the forefront of rap like this?
How could I predict my words
Would have an impact like this
I must've struck a chord with somebody up in the office
'Cause Congress keeps tellin' me
I ain't causin' nothin' but problems
And now they're sayin' I'm in trouble with the government
I'm lovin' it
I shoveled sx1t 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 sx1t
I go to TRL
Look how many hugs I get!
White America!
I could be one of your kids
White America!
Little Eric looks just like this
White America!
Erica loves my sx1t
I go to TRL
Look how many hugs I get!
Look at these eyes, baby blue, baby just like yourself
If they were brown
Shady'd lose, Shady sits on the shelf
But Shady's cute
Shady knew Shady's dimples would help
Make ladies swoon, baby
(Ooh, baby!)
Look at my sales!
Let's do the math:
If I was black, I would've sold half
I ain't have to graduate
From Lincoln High School to know that
But I could rap, so fvxk school
I'm too cool to go back
Give me the mic!
Show me where the fvxkin' studio's at
When I was underground
No one gave a fvxk I was white
No lables wanted to sign me
Almost gave up, I was like, 'Fvxk it'
Until I met Dre
The only one to looked past
Gave me a chance
And I lit a fire up under his ass
Helped him get back to the top
Every fan black that I got
Was prob'ly his
In exchange for every white fan that he's got
Like damn, we just swapped:
Sittin' back look at sx1t, wow
I'm like, my skin
Is it startin' to work to my benefit now? It's
White America!
I could be one of your kids
White America!
Little Eric looks just like this
White America!
Erica loves my sx1t
I go to TRL
Look how many hugs I get!
White America!
I could be one of your kids
White America!
Little Eric looks just like this
White America!
Erica loves my sx1t
I go to TRL
Look how many hugs I get!
See, the problem is I speak to suburban kids
Who otherwise
Would've never knew these words exist
Whose moms prob'ly would've never gave 2 squirts of piss
'Til I created so much motherfvxkin ' turbulence
Straight out the tube
Right into your livin' rooms I came
And kids flipped when they knew I was produced by Dre
That's all it took
And they were instantly hooked right in
And they connected with me too, because I looked like them
That's why they put my lyrics up under this microscope
Searchin' with a fine tooth comb
It's like this rope, waitin' to choke
Tightenin' around my throat
Watchin' me while I write this, like, 'I don't like this note!'
All I hear is:
Lyrics, lyrics, constant controversy
Sponsors workin' 'round the clock
To try to stop my concerts early
Surely, hip-hop was never a problem
In Harlem, only in Boston
After it bothered the fathers
Of daughters startin' to blossom
So now I'm catchin' the flak from these activists
When they raggin'
Actin' like I'm the first rapper to smack a b1xch, or say 'fagg0t '
Sx1t
Just look at me like I'm your closest pal
The poster child
The motherfvxkin' spokesman now, for
White America!
I could be one of your kids
White America!
Little Eric looks just like this
White America!
Erica loves my sx1t
I go to TRL
Look how many hugs I get!
White America!
I could be one of your kids
White America!
Little Eric looks just like this
White America!
Erica loves my sx1t
I go to TRL
Look how many hugs I get!
So to the parents of America
I am the Derringer, aimed at little Erica
To attack her character
The ringleader 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 (*censored 'flag'*) and replace it
With a Parental Advisory sticker
To spit liquor in the faces of this democracy of hypocrisy
Fvxk you, Ms. Cheney!
Fvxk you, Tipper Gore!
Fvxk you with the freest of speech
This Divided States of Embarrassment will allow me to have!
Fvxk you!
Hahaha
I'm just playin', America, you know I love you
