White Privilege II(Feat. Jamila Woods)-

　　Jamila Woods&Ryan Lewis&Macklemore

　　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't how 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 my two cents

　　Or should I stand on the side and shut my mouth

　　No justice no peace okay I'm saying that

　　They're chanting out black lives matter

　　but I don't say it back

　　Is it okay for me to say I don't know

　　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 a mask

　　A shield a gun with gloves and hands

　　that gives an alibi

　　In case somebody dies behind

　　a bullet that flies out of the 9

　　Takes another child's life on sight

　　Blood in the streets no justice no peace

　　No racist beliefs no rest 'til we're free

　　There's blood in the streets no justice no peace

　　No racist beliefs no rest 'til we're free

　　Blood in the streets no justice no peace

　　No racist beliefs no rest 'til we're free

　　There's blood in the streets no justice no peace

　　No racist beliefs no rest 'til we're free

　　You've exploited and stolen the music the moment

　　The magic the passion the fashion you toy with

　　The culture was never yours to make better

　　You're miley you're Elvis you're Iggy azalea

　　Fake and so plastic you've heisted the magic

　　You've taken the drums and the accent you rapped in

　　You're branded hip-hop it's so fascist and backwards

　　That grand master flashed go slap it you bastard

　　All the money that you made

　　All the watered down pop-bullshit

　　version of the culture pal

　　Go buy a big-ass lawn go with your big-ass house

　　Get a big-ass fence keep people out

　　It's all stubborn anyway can't you see that now

　　There's no 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're down

　　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's convenient

　　Want people to like you want to be accepted

　　That's probably why you are out here protesting

　　Don't think for a second you don't have incentive

　　Is this about you well then what's your intention

　　What's the intention what's the intention

　　Psst I totally get it you're by yourself

　　And the last thing you want to do is take a picture

　　But seriously my little girl loves you

　　She's always singing I'm gonna pop some tags

　　I'm not 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 actually proud

　　That's so cool look what you're accomplishing

　　Even the old mom like me

　　likes it cause it's positive

　　You're the only hip-hop

　　that I let my kids listen to

　　Cause you get it all

　　that negative stuff it isn't cool

　　Yeah

　　Yeah like all the guns and the drugs

　　The bitches and the hoes

　　and the gangs and the thugs

　　Even the protest outside so sad and so dumb

　　If a cop pulls you over it's your fault if you run

　　Huh

　　So they feel that the police are discriminating

　　against the the black people

　　I

　　Cause I'm white what no

　　See more people nowadays are just pussies

　　Like this is the generation

　　to be offended by everything

　　Black lives matter' thing is

　　a reason to take arms up

　　over perceived slights

　　I'm not prejudiced I just

　　99% of the time across this country

　　the police are doing their job properly

　　Damn 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't even paying attention

　　It seems like we're more concerned

　　with being called racist

　　Than we actually are with racism

　　I've heard that silences are action

　　and god knows that I've been passive

　　What if I actually read

　　a article actually had a dialogue

　　Actually looked at myself actually got involved

　　If I'm aware of my privilege and do nothing

　　at all I don't know

　　Hip-hop has always been political yes

　　It's the reason why this music connects

　　So what the fuck has happened to my voice

　　If I stay silent when black people are dying

　　Then I'm trying to be politically correct

　　I can book a whole tour sell out the tickets

　　Rap entrepreneur built his own business

　　If I'm only in this for my own self

　　Interest not the culture that gave me

　　a voice to begin with

　　Then this isn't authentic 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 to begin with

　　My skin matches the hero likeness the image

　　America feels safe with my music in their systems

　　And it's suited me perfect

　　the role I've fulfilled it

　　And if I'm the hero you know

　　who gets cast as the villain

　　White supremacy isn't just 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's lineage

　　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't show up

　　And start putting water on all the houses

　　because all houses matter

　　They would show up and they would turn

　　their water on the house

　　That was burning because that's the house

　　that needs the help the most

　　My generation's taken on the torch of

　　a very age-old fight 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 hip-hop is not a luxury

　　Your silence is a luxury hip-hop is not a luxury

　　Your silence is a luxury hip-hop is not a luxury

　　Your silence is a luxury hip-hop is not a luxury

　　What I got for me it is for me

　　What we made we

　　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
