White Privilege II - Macklemore,Jamila Woods,Ryan Lewis

White Privilege II Macklemore /Jamila Woods /Ryan Lewis Pulled into the parking lot parked it Zipped up my parka joined the procession of marchers In my head like is this awkward Should I even be here marching Thinking if they can'thow can I breathe Thinking that they chant what do I sing I want to take a stance cause we are not free And then I thought about it we are not we Am I in the outside looking in or am I in the inside looking out Is it my place to give mytwo cents Orshould I stand onthe side and shutmy mouth No justice no peace okay I'msaying that They'rechanting out black lives matter but I don'tsay it back Is it okay for me to say I don'tknow so I watch and stand In front of a line of police that look the same as me Only separated by a badge a baton a can of mace amask A shield a gunwith gloves and handsthat gives an alibiIn case somebodydies behind abullet that fliesout of the 9Takes anotherchild's life onsight Blood in the streets no justice no peace No racist beliefs no rest 'tilwe'refree There'sblood in the streets no justice no peace No racist beliefs no rest 'tilwe'refree Blood in the streets no justice no peace No racist beliefs no rest 'tilwe'refree There'sblood in the streets no justice no peace No racist beliefs no rest 'tilwe'refree You've exploited andstolen the music the moment The magic the passion the fashion you toy with The culture was never yours to make better You'remiley you'reElvis you'reIggy azalea Fake and so plastic you'veheisted the magic You'vetaken the drums and the accent you rapped in You'rebranded hiphopit'sso fascist and backwards That grand master flashed go slap it you bastard All the money that you made All the watered down popbullshitversion of the culture pal Go buy a biga**lawn go with your biga**house Get a biga**fence keep people out It'sall stubborn anyway can'tyou see that now There'sno way for you to even that out You can join the march protest scream and shout Get on twitter hash tag and seem like you'redown But they see through it all people believe you now You said publicly rest in peace mike brown You speak about equality but do you really mean it Are you marching for freedom or when it'sconvenient Want people to like you want to be accepted That'sprobably why you are out here protesting Don'tthink for a second you don'thave incentive Is this about you well then what'syour intention What's theintention What'sthe intention what'sthe intention Psst I totally get it you'reby yourself And the last thing you want to do is take a picture But seriously my little girl loves you She'salways singing I'mgonna pop some tags I'mnot kidding my oldest you even got him to go thrifting And one love oh my god that song brilliant Their aunt is gay when that song came out My son told his whole class he was actuallyclass he was actually proud That'sso cool look what you'reaccomplishing Even the old mom like me likes it cause it'spositive You'rethe only hiphopthat I let my kids listen to Cause you get it all that negative stuff it isn'tcool Yeah Yeah like all the guns and the drugs The b**chesand the hoes and the gangs and the thugs Even the protestoutside Even the protest outside so sad and so dumb If a cop pulls you over it'syour fault if you run run Huh So they feel thatthe police are discriminatingagainst the the blackpeople I have anadvantage why Cause I'm whitewhat no See more people nowadaysare just pussiesLike this is thegeneration to be offended by everything Black lives matter'Black lives matter'thing is a reasonto take arms upover perceived slights I'mnot prejudiced I just 99% ofthe time acrossthis countrythe police are doing theirjob properlyDamn a lot of opinions a lot of confusion a lot of resentment Some of us scared some of us defensive And most of us aren'teven paying attention It seems like we'remore concerned with being called racist Than we actually are with racism I'veheard that silences are action and god knows that I'vebeen passive What if I actually read a article actually had a dialogue Actually looked at myself actually got involved If I'maware of my privilege and do nothing at all I don'tknow Hiphophas always been political yes It'sthe reason why this music connects So what the f**khas happened to my voice If I stay silent when black people are dying Then I'mtrying to be politically correct I can book a whole tour sell out the tickets Rap entrepreneur built his own business If I'monly in this for my own self Interest not the culture that gave me a voice to begin with Then this isn'tauthentic it is just a gimmick The DIY underdog so independent But the one thing the American dream fails to mention Is I was many steps ahead tobegin withahead to begin with My skin matches the hero likeness the image America feels safe with my music in their systems And it'ssuited me perfect the role I'vefulfilled it And if I'mthe hero you know who gets cast as the villain White supremacy isn'tjust a white dude in Idaho White supremacy protects the privilege I hold White supremacy is the soil the foundation the cement And the flag that flies outside of my home White supremacy is our country'slineage designed for us to be Indifferent My success is the product of the same system That let off Darren Wilson guilty We want to dress like walk like talk like dance like yet We just stand by We take all we want from black culture But will we show up for black lives We want to dress like walk like talk like dance Like yet we just stand by We take all we want from black culture But will we show up for black lives Black lives matter to use an analogy is like if If there was a subdivision and a house was on fire The fire department wouldn'tshow up And start putting water on allthe housesbecause all houses matter They would show up and they would turn their water on the house That was burning because that'sthe house that needs the help the most My generation'staken on the torch of a very ageoldfight for black liberation But also liberation for everyone injustice anywhere is still injustice everywhere The best thing white people can do is talk to each other Having those very difficult very painful conversations with your parents With your family members I think one of the critical questions for white people in this society is What are you willing to risk What are you willing to sacrifice to create a more just society Your silence is a luxury hiphopis not a luxury Your silence is a luxury hiphopis not a luxury Your silence is a luxury hiphopis not a luxury Your silence is a luxury hiphopis not a luxury What I got for me it is for me What we made we made to set us free What I got for me it is for me What we made we made to set us free What I got for me it is for me What we made we made to set us free
