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
