If I Was White Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Dm][Am][Dm][Am]
[Dm]We[Am][Dm][Am]
[Dm]are black,[Am]
[Dm]they are [Am]white, our [Dm]blood is red [Am]but we can [Dm]never unite.
[Am]Let's get down[Dm], let's get down[Am], let's get down[Dm],
let's get down, [Am]let's get [Dm]down, [Am]let's
[Dm]get down, let's get down.
[Am]If I was w[Dm]hite,
I wonder what it'd [Am]be like
Would I shoot a [Dm]nigga, hang him from a tree
and [Am]call it a night?
Would I [Dm]think I have the right to be the
[Am]black boy and make him run home?
[Dm]Just because I got a
[Am]badge and a gun on
[Dm]Willie
D, got is[Am]sues
Once I hit the [Dm]dip and pop the clip in [Am]my shit,
break out the [Dm]tissues
These motherfuckers want us [Am]dead
[Dm]Black celebrities are getting murdered
[Am]And it's the f[Dm]eds, politicians
They on my [Am]ass for the
[Dm]cuss words
Why they bitchin'?
They got that [Am]fuckin' on the television
[Dm]Sin is bel[Am]ievin', ho,
how come you [Dm]fuckin'
with me?
And not
[Am]Robert
De
Niro, [Dm]and
Joe
Pesci, and
Schwarzenegger,
Bruce
Willis, and
Sean
Penn
You [Am]bitches better come [Dm]again,
cause I'm here to tell the [Am]tricks you play
If I was [Dm]white,
you wouldn't have [Am]shit to say
Recog[Dm]nize the real,
[Am]you know why these motherfuckers mad?
[Dm]Cause we're black,
[Am]and we stand with the fuck [Dm]we feel
You [Am]see, they still look at us
[Dm]like we slaves
[Am]If I'm a gangsta motherfucki[Dm]ng rapper,
these [Am]motherfuckers I just mentioned [Dm]are gangsta actors
[Am]They say they don't [Dm]like the [Am]language,
but see
Hollywood been exploiting us for years
[Dm]So now we get some
[Am]money out the deal
Like I was [Dm]saying,
you wouldn't have shit
[Am]to say
[Dm]If I was from
England, standing [Am]on the corner
mingling
They [Dm]hate to see us come
together [Am]for anything
[Dm]Call it a gang when two [Am]or
more brothers hang
[Dm]How come I'm loved by few
[Am]and hated [Dm]by many
When real shit is what I'm
al[Am]ways representing
You [Dm]niggas ridin' on us,
they be [Am]ly in' and
shit
You got [Dm]sug ar in your blood if
you ain't [Am]buyin'
my shit
Ain't that a [Dm]bitch?
As soon as I [Am]hit the door
Motherfuck[Dm]ers start followin'
me [Am]around the
store
[Dm]Po -Pos, do you ge[Am]t a bo[Dm]nus?
For harassin' the [Am]black club owners
But [Dm]nig gas gotta fight for they r[Am]ights
If I fight, I'll [Dm]pay
Hey, they gon' [Am]fuck with you anyway
[Dm]So if you gotta go down,
[Am]go down bu[Dm]stin'
If you did that, I might think twice
[Am]If I was white
[Dm]We are b[Am]lack
[Dm]They are [Am]white
Our [Dm]blood is red
[Am]But [Dm]we can never unite
Let's get down, let's get down
Let's get down, let's get down
Let's get down, let's get [Am]down,
let's [Dm]get down, let's get [Am]down
Last [Dm]high and first [Am]fight, that's us
[Dm]Man, I'm sick and tired of these
[Am]prejudiced bastards
[Dm]One million niggas in the
[Am]NFL an[Dm]d not one black owner
What's [Am]up with
Denzel?
[Dm]And it's
Oscar
[Am]Naughty, you a tutor?
You [Dm]think you did something
cause you [Am]gave one to
Cuba?
That [Dm]maneuver has played [Am]out ,
you funky scrub
[Dm]If I was white,
could I [Am]join your [Dm]country club?
And if my little sister [Am]came up missing,
would you [Dm]start a manhunt?
Like you [Am]did for
Lawrence
Smithers, I'm [Dm]wishing for a
change in my [Am]lifetime
But all I [Dm]see is hate crimes o[Am]n
Dateline and [Dm]all -white juries
in a [Am]token black
[Dm]Giving niggas 25 for [Am]smoking [Dm]crack
I'd rather bust a motherfuckin'
[Am]cap than pray
[Dm]Fuck baseball, apple [Am]pie, and
Chevrolet
I [Dm]keep tellin' y 'all I ain't
para[Am]noid
When's the [Dm]last time you seen an all
[Am]-black jury [Dm]judge a white [Am]person in
[Dm]America?
That shit [Am]just do not happen
[Dm]But it always happen
[Am]to a black p[Dm]erson
Black man on [Am]trial for his life, [Dm]all white j[Am]ury,
who can't possibly [Dm]relate to [Am]him, conviction.
[Dm]But let it be a white man,[Am]
they're gonna be a little [Dm]bit more lenient.
[Am]You know why?
Because when [Dm]they look at him, they [Am]see their [Dm]son,
they see their nephew, they see the boy next door,
they see their husband, [Am]they see the guy they work [Dm]with,
but when they see a black man,
they automatically look at slave, [Am]slave, [Dm]slave, nigga,
nigga, nigga, [Am]that's how the motherfuckers think!
[Dm]I'm telling you!
They are [Am]white, we [Dm]are b[Am]lack
[Dm]They are [Am]white, [Dm]we are b[Am]lack
[Dm]They are [Am]white,
[Dm]we are b[Am]lack[Dm]
[Am][Dm]
