[Intro]
America ... hahaha ... 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 of men who
have died for the protect?
The women and men who have
broke their necks for the
freedem of speech the United States
Government has sworn to uphold
Yo, I want everyone to listen
to the words of this song
Or so we're told...
[Verso 1]
I never woulda dreamed
in a million years id see
so many mutha fuckin
people who feel like me
Who share the same views
And the same exact beliefs
Its like a fuckin army
marchin in back of me
So many lives i touched
So much anger aimed
at no perticular direction
Just sprays and sprays
Straight through your radio wavs
It plays and plays
Till it stays stuck in your head
For days and days
who woulda thought
standin in this mirror
Bleachin my hair wit some Peroxide
Reachin for a T shirt to wear
That i would catipult to the
forefront of rap like this
How can i predict my words
And have an impact like this
I musta struck a chord
with somebody up in the office
Cuz congress keeps tellin me
I aint causin nuttin but problems
And now they sayin im in
trouble wit the government
Im lovin it
I shovelled shit all my life
And now im dumpin it on
[Ritornello]
WHITE AMERICA
I could be one of ur kids
WHITE AMERICA
Little Erik looks just like this
WHITE AMERICA
Erica loves my shit
I got to TRL
Look how many hugs i get
[Verso 2]
Look at these eyes baby
blue baby just like urself
If they were brown
Shady knew shady sits on the shelf
But Shadys cute
Shady knew Shady's
dimples would help
Make ladies swoon baby
(ooo baby)
Look at myself!
Lets do the math
If i was black i woulda sold half
I aint have to graduate
From Lincoln High School to know that
But i can rap so fuck school
Im 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 lables wanted to sign me
Almost gave up, i was like "Fuck it"
Until i met Dre
The only one who looked 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 probly his
In exchange for every
white fan that he's got
Like damn we just swapped
Sittin back look at this shit wow
Im like "Does this skin
work for my benifit now?"
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
See the problem is I speak
to suberban kids
Who otherwise
Woulda never knew
these words exist
These moms probly woulda
never gave 2 squirts of piss
Till i created so much
mutha fuckin turbulence
Straight out the tube right
into ya livin rooms i came
And kids Flipped
When they found out
I was produced by Dre
Thats all it took
And they were instantly hooked right in
And they connected wit me
too cuz i looked like them
Thats why they put my lyrics
up under this microscope
Searchin wit a fine toothed comb
Its like this rope waitin to choke
Tightenin around my throat
Watchin me while I write this
like "I dont like this, NO!"
All i hear is
Lyrics lyrics constant controversy
Sponsors workin round the clock
To try to stop my concerts early
Surely hip hop is never a problem
In Harlem only In Boston
After it bothered ya fathers
of daughters startin to blossom
Now im catchin the flack
from these activists
When they raggin
Actin like I'm the first rapper
to smack a bitch and say faggot
Shit
Just look at me like im ya closest pal
A poster child
the mutha fuckin spokesman now!
[Ritornello]
[Outro]
So to the parents of America
I am the damager aimed at little Erica
To attack her character
The ring leader of the
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
To burn the casket and replace
it with a Parental Advisory sticker
To spit liquor in the faces of
this democracy of hipocracy
Fuck you Ms Cheeney
Fuck you Tipper Gore
Fuck you with the free-este
of space this divided state
of embarrasment will allow me to have
Fuck You
hahaha!
im just playin America,
you know i love you
