America! 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 tor 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 motherfuckin'
people who feel like me
Who share the same views
and the same exact beliefs,
It's like a fuckin' army
marchin' in back of me
So many lives I touch,
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 woulda thought,
Standing in this mirror bleachin'
my hair, with some peroxide,
Reachin' for a t-shirt 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 telling 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 shit all
my life, and now I'm dumping it on
White America!
I could be one of your kids,
White America!
Little Eric looks just like this,
White America!
Erica loves my shit,
I go to T-R-L, 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 shit,
I go to T-R-L, look how many hugs I get
Look at these eyes baby blue
baby just like yourself
If they were brown
Shady 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 myself!
Let's do the math
If I was black I woulda sold half
I ain't have to graduate from
Lincoln High School to know that
But I can rap so fuck school
I'm too cool to go back
Gimme the mic
Show me where the fuckin' studios at
When I was underground
No one gave a fuck I was white
No labels wanted to sign me
Almost gave up, I was like "Fuck it"
Until I met Dre
The only one who 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 probably his in exchange for
every white fan that hes got
Like damn we just swapped
Sittin' back look at this shit wow
I'm like "My skin, is it startin'
to work to my benefit now?"
White America!
I could be one of your kids,
White America!
Little Eric looks just like this,
White America!
Erica loves my shit,
I go to T-R-L, 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 shit,
I go to T-R-L, look how many hugs I get
See the problem is I
speak to suburban kids
Who otherwise woulda never
knew these words exist
Whose mom's probably woulda
never gave two squirts of piss
'Til I created so much
muthafuckin' turbulence
Straight out the tube right
into ya 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 wit' me too
because I looked like them
That's why they put my lyrics
up under this microscope
Searchin' wit' a fine toothed comb
It's like this rope waitin' to choke
Tightenin' around my throat
Watchin' me while I write this like
"I dont like this, no!"
All I hear is
Lyrics lyrics constant controversy
Sponsors workin' round the clock
To try to stop my concerts early
Surely hip hop is never a problem
In Harlem only in Boston
After it bothered ya fathers
Of daughters startin' to blossom
Now I'm catchin' the flack
from these activists
When they raggin'
Actin' like I'm the first rapper
to smack a bitch and say fagot
Shit,
Just look at me like I'm ya closest pal
A poster child
The muthafuckin' 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 shit,
I go to T-R-L, 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 shit,
I go to T-R-L, 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 ring leader 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 casket and replace it
with a parental advisory sticker
To spit liquor in the faces of
this democracy of hypocrisy
Fuck you Ms. Cheney
Fuck you tipper Gore
Fuck you with the
free-ness of speech this
Divided states of embarrassment
will allow me to have
Fuck you!
Ha ha ha! I'm just playin'
America, you know I love you
