lyrics

White People US
upper crust,
in God we rust,
use Jesus
to be racist,
rob land you trust.

Slave Master US.
We the sun.
You the dust.
Clean our puss
as we rape you
with lust.
Start a fuss?

Ok, Civil War Us.
You fight for us.
Emancipation Proclamation,
we don’t give a fuck.
You stay stuck.
40 acres and a mule?
Don’t be a fool.
We own the sky.
Don’t look up.

No Reparation US.
Segregation Us.
Back of that bus.
You want rights?
Find you in the night.
Hang you from a tree.
Sister take a picture,
family gathering.

But we like the way you sing,
so we steal your music,
you know what
makes you feel free.

Off You Make More Money Us.
You funny to us.
Entertain us.
Tell us a fable.
Eat at our table?
You brainless.
Start a business?
You wanna compete?
We the bank.
What’d you think?
Ever heard of Black Wall Street?
Burn your church.
You nothing worth.
Sorry about Martin Luther King.

But look how fast you run.
Look at you go airborne.
Put you in a uniform.
Damn, you’re better than us.
But don’t forget you’re still dumb plus
we own the team
so we gave you this chance to dream.

Nice People US.
What? How are we mean?
We vulture for your culture.
Slavery? Oh me? Me? Me?
That was so long ago.
Everything was clean
when we set you free,
even gave guns and drugs
to your community.
Awww, look at the poor kid on crack,
it’s so sad to be black,
but we’re not gonna help
all we care about is our self.

White People US.
What’s Up!
Oblivious.
Elect Trump.
Invalidate your feelings.
I can’t believe your kneeling?
I’m in so much disgust.
How do you not love country
about you that doesn’t give a fuck?

White People Us.
It’s ridiculous
On the same bust.
We get after school detention.
You 50 years in private prison.
We citation, Brock Turner.
You murdered.
White cop paid vacation.
Afraid to lose our position.
Don’t know how to listen.
Don’t know what it is like
because we are White
People Us.
Need to wake the fuck up!
We created this racist society
so obviously it is on us
to change it into equality.
Fucking Duh!
