You can take that pepper spray
With a grain of salt
If it happened yesterday
Then it's not my fault
'Cause me, I could run with any crowd
Though I'd hate to brag
I can leave my house without
A target on my back
So thank you mom & dad
You sure did do me right
I really hit the jackpot
When I came out white
The fact's my past's a proud one
And my future is bright
Daddy that was awful savvy
Making me white, alright
Raised me just like good folks should
Gave me all the tools
Like that nice safe neighborhood
And those nice clean schools
Now I'm paid quite handsomely
Though I'd hate to boast
But I'm free from sea to sea
Ya see, from coast to coast
So thank you mom & dad
You sure did make me right
I really hit the jackpot
When I came out white
I won't be called a traitor
Just for putting up a fight
Golly that was so smart mommy
Making me white, alright
And while I'm in the mood for gratitude
Must say I'm overjoyed
By your decision, your grand vision
To have me be a boy
And as if that wasn't enough lovin' to love
How kind it was back then
To raise me as an
Upper-middle-class American
So I look back on my life
Clearly as I can
Take a deep breath, tell my wife
Listen, here's the plan
We're gonna not change anything
Not one stripe, one star
Pray our kids are born to win
With skin that looks like ours
And they'll say
Thank you mom & dad
You sure did make us right
We really hit the big time
When we came out white
It's so damn nice to not get shot
For stepping outside
We really dodged a bullet
When we came out white, alright!
