I see so many people lost who really try to pretendBut am I just another white boy who has caught on to the trendWhen I take a step to the mic is hiphop closer to the end?'Cause when I go to shows the majority have white skinThey marketed the windmill, the air flair and head spinAnd white rappers albums really get the most spinsThe face of hip hop has changed a lot since EminemAnd if he's taking away black artists' profits I look just like himClaimed a culture that wasn't mine, the way of the americanHip hop is gentrified and where will all the people liveIt's like the central district, beacon hill to the south endBeing pushed farther away because of what white people did, nowWhere's my place in a music that's been taken by my raceCultural appropriated by the white faceAnd we don't want to admit that this is existingSo scared to acknowledge the benefits of our white privilegeCause it's human nature to want to be part of something differentEspecially when your ancestors are European ChristiansAnd most whites don't want to acknowledge this is occurringCause we got the best deal, the music without the burdenOf being black in a system that really wants you to rockCause all you need is a program and you can go and make hiphopAnd we hate the mainstream cause we're the ones that took itNow we listen to Aesop Rock and wear t-shirts that say BrooklynBut it's not about black and white rightI mean good music is good music regardless of what you look likeBut when you don't give them props isn't that selfish?That's like saying rock was actually started by ElvisSo where does this leave me?I feel like I pay dues but I'll always be a white MCI give everything I have when I write a rhymeBut that doesn't change the fact that this culture's not mineBut I'm gonna be me so please be who you areThis is something that's effortless and shouldn't be hardI said I'm gonna be me so please be who you areBut we still owe 'em 40 acres now we've stolen their 16 barsHiphop started off in a block that I've never been toTo counter act a struggle that I've never even been throughIf I think I understand just because I flow tooThat means I'm not keeping it true, nopeHiphop started off in a block that I've never been toTo counter act a struggle that I've never even been throughIf I think I understand just because I flow tooThat means I'm not keeping it true, I'm not keeping it trueNow I don't rap about guns so they label me consciousBut I don't rap about guns cause I wasn't forced into the projectsSee I was put in the position where I could chose my optionsBlessed with the privilege that my parent's could send me to collegeNow who's going to shows the kids on the block starvingOr the white people with dough that can relate to my content?Marketed the music now adapted to the lifestyleWhat happened to jazz and rock and roll is happening right nowWhere's my place in the music that's been taken by the mediaWith white corperations controlling what their feeding yaI brought up aesop rock but I'm not even dissing dudeWe love hiphop and what do you think caucasians are listening toAnd I speak freely when I write thisIf a black emcee examined race there goes half their fan base, white kidsAnd this is so true. and we didn't even have to fight the systemWe just went and picked up the microphone tooAnd we got good at it so we should be rappingBut only supporting them is like burning Jimmy and buying ClaptonNow Clapton's incredible. but no Jimmy no foundationSo here comes history and the cultural appropriationWhite kids with do rags trying to practice their accentsFrom the suburbs to the upperclass mastering a languageBut hiphop is not just memorizing wordsIt's rooted in authenticity something you literally can't learnBut I'm gonna be me so please be who you areThis is something that's effortless and shouldn't be hardI said I'm gonna be me so please be who you areBut as I'm blessed with the privilege, they're still left with the scars
