I know you're not racist, but please, spare me the line
I've heard it thousands of time from you scared little minds
Everybody knows how this conversation goes
How slavery was ended two hundred years ago
But who's countin'
Cause your parents bitched and moaned over sharin' a fountain
And I can tell by the way you're run-in' your mouth
You haven't changed any of your views
Just nicer words to use
So you can act like something racist is just totally absurd to you
I know you're not racist but please spare me the line
I've heard it thousands of times from you scared little minds
As you bitch about Kaepernick from kick-off to half time
Ready with statistics on some black on black crime
You don't mind the protests
You just hate when they loot
When they disrupt a commute
But you can really hold your tongue if it's not lickin' a boot
If MLK were here today, we know you'd be online defending James Earl Ray

Nobody believes you when you talk about all lives
I'm tired of the villains actin' like they're the good guys
Tired of the villains actin' like they're the good guys
History is shrouded in their white hoods and white lies
Nobody believes you when you talk about all lives
I'm tired of the villains actin' like they're the good guys
Tired of the villains actin' like they're the good guys
History is shrouded in their white hoods and white lies

"It's not hate it's history. My heritage is Confederate"
How dumbass? You were born in Connecticut
It's really no mystery what you love about Dixie
You pricks be loving your revisionist history
Never scrutinized only taken for granted
These idolized white lies mistaken in granite
Our whole nation was founded on the backs of slaves
But we put the monuments on the masters' graves
Besides slavery does still exist today it just changed shape
In a concrete plantation as a ward of the state
Inmates locked under a warden of hate
Who still gets rich off the shit they're made to create
You can say more shit, but it's the same old shit
They just deputized the Klan. Now they seem legit
It's the same old overseers. Same old beat
Thread a thin white lie from a thin white sheet
Cops will stand with their hand on their chest and attest
"I went to rough him. I mean cuff him. He resist arrest"
Ah, but the body cam was off. Well, hmm, ain't that convenient
Good thing the judge, jury, and prosecution will be lenient
But it doesn't even matter even if they did see it
Cause you tell a little white lie they wanna believe
You're here to serve and protect
Yeah, you're own fuckin' neck
And they'll break yours 'til they hear you beggin' for breath
See for folks of their ilk, blood is like milk
No use in crying' once it's already spilt
They got their hand on the hilt in this land that they built
And a little white lie wipes away all the guilt

Nobody believes you when you talk about all lives
I'm tired of the villains actin' like they're the good guys
Tired of the villains actin' like they're the good guys
History is shrouded in their white hoods and white lies
Nobody believes you when you talk about all lives
I'm tired of the villains actin' like they're the good guys
Tired of the villains actin' like they're the good guys
History is shrouded in their white hoods and white lies

So what is privilege?
It's insidious indifference to people being murdered for just minding their business
It's constant excuses for thin blue nooses as white lies turn blind eyes to abuses
Tell me how it's justified through history's eyes
Those who lost their lives while limbs got tied
Emmett Til was brutalized and tragically died
Got washed riverside because of casual lies
Around our neck is the albatross of burnt crosses
From the birth of this nation our history haunts us
But it happens today and you just clear your conscience
You wave it away with these convenient responses
But the more things change, they just stay the same
From Emmett to Trayvon to Elijah McClain
And a million other black lives murdered in vain
You want to sit here now so you can explain it all away with some white lies
Open your damn eyes
I'm tired of the villains actin' like they're the good guys
Tired of the villains actin' like they're the good guys
History is shrouded in their white hoods and white lies
