[CHORUS:] If I don't live the struggle, then why do I flow I'm just another Wigger man, what do I know If y'all don't wanna hear the way the truth unfolds Just cover your ears and say na na na na It's like we sleep safe but we walk with danger They say in Jamaica, Queens don't talk to strangers It's like we look for violence in our darkest neighbours But it's the stillest snakes that'll spit the harshest vapours It seems it's always random shootings never bout karma Ain't done shit? You're a target, ask Pantera guitarist But hold up a second. I remember this concert Pantera in Verdun when I was just a kid mosher I remember the lead singer cough up and say To a bouncer "Hey nigger, get the fuck off the stage" Sometimes you get murked for the word that you spit Not saying he deserved it, but we should learn from it C'mon go further with it. because we're hurting from it Stop this fucking madness instead of nurturing it With blacks it's been about sacrifice and cost But whites seem to think that it's a paradise lost [CHORUS:] If I don't live the struggle, then why do I flow I'm just another Wigger man, what do I know Letras de cancionesIf y'all don't wanna hear the way the truth unfolds Just cover your ears and say na na na na In the 21st Century it's movie trash race hate What's the difference 'tween White Chicks and black face paint Birth of a Nation or the death of the dream It's like Jackie's still trying to earn respect from his team Affirmative Action or negative stalemate? Is that a free black man or relative Jailbait Everybody knows that one discreet bigot Who says "Listen, I've had coloureds over to eat dinner" Or that white girl who thinks it's trendy to date a brother Or does it cause she wants to get back at her mother Or maybe she just dates him cause she knows that he's bigger But when they break up, the first thing she calls him is "Hey! They say the n-word why can't we? " Go figure Civil rights don't give whites the right to say nigger "But Anni you just said it", I guess I don't get it But maybe a word can only harm us if we let it [CHORUS:] If I don't live the struggle, then why do I flow I'm just another Wigger man, what do I know If y'all don't wanna hear the way the truth unfolds Just cover your ears and say na na na na I know these ain't common topics that make up a song I know a lot of cats will end up taking it wrong Rodney said to get along, it's taking way too long Maybe both sides have a pride that's way too strong Yeah, I'm thieving black music, but I'm giving back to it I'm facing this shit head on, ain't putting my back to it If only Kipling had had a chat with Du Bois Jim Crow might of died sooner, replaced by new law If Josh Gibson had had the chance to hold the bat Then they wouldn't keep hating on that black quarterback If actor Paul Robeson was allowed to prosper Then Malcolm X would have won Denzel the Oscar If Ol' Blue Eyes had played the Apollo with John Coltrane Then in 2004 there would have been no Soul Plane If Sam Cooke could have rocked the mic with Elvis Then Dr. King might not have lost his life in Memphis [CHORUS] From Letras Mania
