Lyrics from Eminem
White America
[Intro]
America
Hahaha
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 of men who have died for the protect?
The women and men who have broke their necks for the freedom of speech the United States
Government has sworn to uphold
Yo, I want everyone to listen to the words of this song
Or so we're told...
[Verse #1]
I never woulda dreamed in a million years id see
so many mutha f**kin people who feel like me
Who share the same views?
And the same exact beliefs
It’s like a f**kin army marchin in back of me
So many lives I touched
So much anger aimed at no particular direction
Just sprays and sprays
Straight through your radio waves
It plays and plays
Till it stays stuck in your head
For days and days
who woulda thought standin in this mirror
Bleachin my hair wit some Peroxide
Reachin for a T shirt to wear
That I would catapult to the fore-front of rap like this
How can I predict my words
And have an impact like this
I musta struck a chord wit somebody up in the office
Cuz congress keeps tellin me
I ain't causin nuttin but problems
And now they sayin im in trouble wit the government
I'm lovin it
I shovelled shit all my life
And now i'm dumpin it on
[Chorus]
WHITE AMERICA
I could be one of your kids
WHITE AMERICA
Little Erik looks just like this
WHITE AMERICA
Erica loves my shit
I go to TRL
Look how many hugs I get
[Verse #2]
Look at these eyes baby blue baby just like yourself
If they were brown
Shady knew shady sits on the shelf
But Shadys cute
Shady knew Shady's dimples would help
Make ladies swoon baby
(ooo baby)
Look at myself!
Lets 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 f**k school
I’m too cool to go back
Gimme the mic
Show me where the f**kin studio's at
When I was underground
No one gave a f**k I was white
No labels wanted to sign me
Almost gave up, I was like "F**k 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 he's got
Like damn we just swapped
Sittin back look at this shit wow
I’m like "My skin, is it startin to work for my benefit now?"
[Chorus]
[Verse #3]
See the problem is I speak to suburban kids
Who otherwise
Woulda never knew these words exist
These moms probably woulda never gave 2 squirts of piss
Till I created so much mutha f**kin 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 cuz 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 don’t 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 im the 1st rapper to smack a bitch and say faggot
Shit
Just look at me like im ya closest pal
A poster child
the mutha f**kin spokesman now!
[Chorus]
[Outro]
So to the parents of America
I am the damager 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 Whitehouse
To burn the casket and replace it with a parental advisory sticker
To spit liquor in the faces of this democracy of hypocrisy
F**k you Ms Cheney
F**k you Tipper Gore
F**k you with the free-este of space this divided state of embarrassment will allow me to have
F**k You
Hahaha! im just playin America, you know I love you
