White America - Eminem

America! 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 that men
Have died for to 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
Everybody to listen to the words of this song) or so we're told...
Verse 1
I never would've dreamed in a million years i'd see so many motherfuckin'
People who feel like me/who share the same views and the same exact beliefs
It's like a fuckin' army marchin' in back of me/so many lives i touch so much
Anger aimed in no particular direction just sprays and sprays and straight
Through your radio waves it plays and plays till it stays stuck in your head
For days and days/who woulda thought standing in this mirror bleachin' my hair
With some peroxide reachin for a tshirt to wear/that i would catapult to the
Forefront of rap like this? how could i predict my words would have an impact
Like this/i must've struck a chord with somebody up in the office cuz congress
Keeps telling me i ain't causin' nuthin' but problems/and now they're sayin' i'm
In trouble with the government i'm lovin' it i shoveled shit all my life/and
Now i'm dumping it on...
Chorus x2
White america!
I could be one of your kids
White america!
Little eric 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
Lose shady sits on the shelf/but shady's cute shady knew shady's dimples would
Help make ladies swoon baby ooh baby! look at my sales/lets do the math if i
Was black i would've sold half i ain't have to graduate from lincoln high
School to know that/but i could rap so fuck school i'm too cool to go back
Gimme the mic show me where the fuckin' studio's at/when i was underground no
One gave a fuck i was white no labels wanted to sign me almost gave up i was
Like/fuck it until i met dre the only one to look 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 lookin' at shit wow i'm like my skin is it
Starting to work to my benefit now?
Chorus x2
Verse 3
See the problem is i speak to suburban kids who otherwise would of never knew
These words exist/whose moms probably woulda never gave two squirts of piss
Till i created so much motherfuckin' turbulence/straight out the tube right
Into your living room 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 with me too because i looked like them/that's why they put my lyrics
Up under this microscope searchin' with a fine tooth comb its like this
Rope/waitin' to choke tightening around my throat watching me while i write
This like i don't like this (nope)/all i hear is: lyrics lyrics constant
Controversy sponsors working round the clock to try to stop my concerts
Early/surely hip hop was never a problem in harlem only in boston after it
Bothered the fathers of daughters starting to blossom/so now i'm catchin' the
Flack from these activists when they raggin' actin' like i'm the first rapper
To smack a bitch or say faggot/shit just look at me like i'm your closest pal
The posterchild the mother fuckin' spokesman now for...
Chorus x2
Verse 4
So to the parents of america / i am the derringer aimed at little erica to
Attack her character / the ringleader of this circus of worthless pawns / sent
To lead the march right up to the steps of congress / and piss on the lawns of
The white house and replace it with a parental advisory sticker / to spit liquor
In the faces of in this democracy of hypocrisy / fuck you ms. cheney! fuck you
Tipper gore! fuck you with the freest of speech this divided states of
Embarassment will allow me to have fuck you! i'm just playin' america you know
I love you...
