The White Sin

Lyrics

One of the most disturbing things, over the past few days, I think, has been the treatment of whiteness as some kind of moral disease, you know?
 Apparently all white people are racists
 I'm sorry George Floyd got killed
 I kneel
 But I don't feel white guilt
 That's real
 Had guns in my face, a bunch
 By cops!
 Had my face slammed off my trunk
 By cops!
 Piece of shit come in every race
 That's facts
 Some working for the fucking state
 And wear a badge
 Doesn't matter where you come from
 Black hood
 Yo, this shit affectin' everyone
 Backwoods
 I'm not sorry I was born white
 You act like it was my choice
 You act like it was my knee that suffocated George Floyd
 You act like I don't give a shit
 You act like I did the shit
 You act like I think that all black folks are ignorant
 I refuse to be labeled as the same across the table
 Baby, red been sheddin' all the way to Cain and Abel
 I ain't Karen in the park, and I ain't Derek Chauvin
 I ain't nothin' like those mothafuckers
 Skin's the only thing we have in common
 On my phone watchin' George dying?
 Swear to God!
 If I was there, I would've rushed the cops or died tryin'
 And I ain't sayin' it's the fault of people there, that didn't
 I'm just saying, I ain't sitting back, white or black
 Fuck pigment!
 Victim is a victim
 And so you don't get me wrong
 The only ones that's in the wrong
 Had the badges and pistols on
 Along that same thought process, if I'm being honest
 Why I'm supposed to feel guilty for shit that I ain't involved with?
 I ain't never been to Klan rallies
 Neither has my granddaddy
 The ex-girl is black, almost had a black granddaddy
 And when I get a tan, I look mucho Mexican
 Think I never been through problemos?
 Betta' guess again
 Guess we back to Guests, again
 'Cause of this mess we in
 Even though I never been one to hate because of skin
 Fuck it
 Paint us all with the same brush
 Don't blame the bad apples
 Blame the whole bunch!
 I feel like Sonny
 This ruined my whole lunch
 Sick to my stomach
 God, I don't know who to trust!
 One channel says this!
 One channel says that!
 One says he ain't resist!
 One says he fought back!
 Yo, I thought that
 What if we had roles reversed?
 And I was in a hearse
 I wonder how many cities would've burned?
 When will we learn?
 God, I know you' comin'
 To take us home, to that paradise that don't see color
 Just my brother
 Just my sister
 Just my family
 Just one nation under God
 Just humanity
 It's God' planet, man
 We need to get our shit together
 'Cause, God planned for people to live free in peace together
 Forever!
 So rest in peace, George Floyd
 You deserve justice
 Along with everyone who died from racist mothafuckers
 And 'cause of that, you best believe I'll take a knee to show respect
 But if you're waiting on apologies from me, don't hold your breath
 I'm not guilty
 No, I'm not guilty
