Samantha White: Dear White People (Album Version)

Don't let them call you a racist If you got your black fist up in the air making a statement, to the point you're seen as dangerous Beyoncé had the 'Panthers' in 'Formation' Emphatic in presentation, dramatic within it's weigh in on tactics of segregation And Morgan & Lauhren's statements of blatant Disrespect that she's anti-cop lack intellect and I got More for you to disregard when I'm defining pro-black  With cold facts for melanin snapshots that's Kodak Black Imagery's literally high definition  I challenge you, think critically despite your suspicions  I interrupt your thinking that relied on tradition  That left Sandra Bland hung out to dry while imprisoned  Traumatized like war torn vets Don't know what's deadlier, the 'Rona or that knee that's crushing George Floyd's neck And yet I'm the threat, raw in a Metallica tee  Skater jeans and anything else that ain't blacker than me  So in the middle of a pandemic, it's that hectic When cops enforce social distancing with crass methods Protestors get slapped to the pavement, then get mashed out White folk outside congregating? their masks get passed out And I ain't got a problem with white folk Unless my presence keeps you off balance 'cause racism's your tightrope And I hope you use your privilege that's that significant  To make a point more than pyramids for black innocence Just because I'm pro-black, doesn't mean I'm anti-white  King in my black skin, doesn't mean I'm anti-Christ  Black pride's a raging fire, they've rather see candlelights  Just because I'm pro-black, doesn't mean I'm anti-white  Yeah, you gotta deal with it  I don't hate your blue eyes, I'm being real with it. Listen up Just because I'm pro-black, doesn't mean I'm anti-white Dear white people, I'm that change in Samantha White  Anti-white? You must be insane  That Logic's kinda Shady when there's Leah James  I'm a fan of Ashley Graham, plus size with curves  Like I love Jill Scott, that's my word, my heroes were Straight Outta Compton and straight up pop  I studied Nasir Jones and Aesop Rock  I loved two non black girls who ate up 'Pac  And my daughter's best friend will have you straight up shocked  You should've known a Caucasian would've been her road dawg  Her first crush at five had blue eyes and a mohawk  So when I say I'm pro-black, I'm not attacking lack of melanin  I'm urging youth that's black to pull up pants and act like gentlemen  Not 'cause of Cosby's reprimand  But because you're often seen as the threat at hand and not the better man  Who never go a lot further, they're Bob Schmurdered By a justice system going light on a Brock Turner  So I don't trust a racist cop further  Than I can throw him, knowing they choke us out and leave us on the block murdered  This 'Real America'? Please stand up  Does my life matter or you rather see this rapper handcuffed 'Cause a lot of us are studious college kids  With 'Stacey's that don't 'Dash' to "Clueless" politics  And now's here's a myth, plus a point that's factual White men can't jump and black men can't storm the Capitol Just because I'm pro-black, doesn't mean I'm anti-white  King in my black skin, doesn't mean I'm anti-Christ  Black pride's a raging fire, they've rather see candlelights  Just because I'm pro-black, doesn't mean I'm anti-white  Yeah, you gotta deal with it  I don't hate your blue eyes, I'm being real with it. Listen up Just because I'm pro-black, doesn't mean I'm anti-white Dear white people, I'm that change in Samantha White  And for the record, I got love for white people and Black people, Brown people  Asian American, Latino people  As long as they know my life matters, and they're down to change the standard  And I got love for white people and Black people, Brown people Native American, Indigenous people 'Cause we're all saved by the blood, but don't label me as a thug For the record, I got love for white people and Black people, Brown people  Asian American, Latino people  As long as they know my life matters, and they're down to change the standard  And I got love for white people and Black people, Brown people  Native American, Indigenous people 'Cause we're all saved by the blood, but don't label me as a thug
