Burden - White Privilege Lyrics



Burden - White Privilege Lyrics




I'm bout to stir up the pot, imma talk about what they don't want me to say,
This division of race, is a spit in the face
Of America, look at how far we done came,
- oh what a shame,
How does the media fill you with hate,

how do you feel like it's racist
For someone to say that they're keeping America great,

Let's talk about this white privilege
-I'll Make it clear so that yall get this
I ain't never had an opportunity in life that was given based what the tone of my skin is,
You ain't oppressed,- look at what year it is,
It ain't no talking to you, you ain't hearing this, 
 he's just a cracker who walks around talking his shit Hes politically wrong and Hes arrogant, right?
fist in the air, black pride, that's great,
But if do the same for my race, thats hate,I can do what I want, is what a lot of you say,
Like if I play with police it won't be a bad day,
you must high,
-Done already told you I don't wanna die,
Who said it was better they told you a lie,
You think that my color gone help me survive?
I don't despise my hair and my eyes and my heritage made me as handsome as I ,
Don't make me no better or worse than no other person just saying I'm happily white,
Is that straight?,
-Plus we the same, lemme explain,
Work the same jobs, and get the same pay,
-Want to pass school, had to get the same grades,
If you make the same choices, you go the same places,


Lemme speak,
I work hard for what you see,
I was taught ain't nothing free,
If someone got it,
It aint ME,
White privilege
Let's talk about this white privilege,
Let's talk about this white privilege,
Don't exist,
With God as my witness 


It's easy to see,
You think I don't get it cause I don't agree,
Like I didn't make it from out of the street
With No where to sleep and nothing to eat
Everything that we do by choice,
Your racist movement, ain't muting my voice,
My life been hell, as far as I can tell,
The idea of white privilege been destroyed,
Where is this card they say I can pull,
-kicked out of school, for bein too cool,
I went to jail,and I didn't get Bail,
I wanted to rent, I'm a felon I can't
So Where is all the inequality at,
I applied for jobs, they ain't calling me yet,
My eyes are green, and my skin is white,
Maybe they've been busy, yeah that's got to be it,
Haaa you prolly Believe it,
-now you got to get even,
Even though I ain't seen it
 that ain't the way that I'm treated
Telling me you got expectations
Of me paying you reparations
Well I'm the voice of a million people feel the same exact way afraid to say this,
That ain't right

I'm bout to stir up the pot, imma talk about what they don't want me to say,
This division of race, is a spit in the face
Of America, look at how far we done came,
- oh what a shame,
How does the media fill you with hate,

how do you feel like it's racist
For someone to say that they're keeping America great,




Lemme speak,
I work hard for what you see,
I was taught ain't nothing free,
If someone got it,
It aint ME,
White privilege
Let's talk about this white privilege,
Let's talk about this white privilege,
Don't exist,
With God as my witness
