White Privilege II(Feat. Jamila Woods)-[00:00:00]

Jamila Woods&Ryan Lewis&Macklemore[00:00:01]

Pulled into the parking lot parked it [00:00:17]

Zipped up my parka joined [00:00:19]

the procession of marchers [00:00:21]

In my head like is this awkward [00:00:22]

Should I even be here marching [00:00:24]

Thinking if they can't how can I breathe [00:00:26]

Thinking that they chant what do I sing [00:00:28]

I want to take a stance cause we are not free [00:00:30]

And then I thought about it we are not we [00:00:32]

Am I in the outside looking in or [00:00:35]

am I in the inside looking out [00:00:37]

Is it my place to give my two cents [00:00:39]

Or should I stand on the side and shut my mouth [00:00:41]

No justice no peace okay I'm saying that [00:00:43]

They're chanting out black lives matter [00:00:47]

but I don't say it back [00:00:50]

Is it okay for me to say I don't know [00:00:52]

so I watch and stand [00:00:55]

In front of a line of police [00:00:55]

that look the same as me [00:00:57]

Only separated by a badge a baton a [00:00:58]

can of mace a mask [00:01:01]

A shield a gun with gloves and hands [00:01:02]

that gives an alibi [00:01:03]

In case somebody dies behind [00:01:04]

a bullet that flies out of the 9 [00:01:06]

Takes another child's life on sight [00:01:07]

Blood in the streets no justice no peace [00:01:09]

No racist beliefs no rest 'til we're free [00:01:13]

There's blood in the streets no justice no peace [00:01:18]

No racist beliefs no rest 'til we're free [00:01:22]

Blood in the streets no justice no peace [00:01:27]

No racist beliefs no rest 'til we're free [00:01:31]

There's blood in the streets no justice no peace [00:01:35]

No racist beliefs no rest 'til we're free [00:01:39]

You've exploited and stolen the music the moment [00:01:46]

The magic the passion the fashion you toy with [00:01:48]

The culture was never yours to make better [00:01:50]

You're miley you're Elvis you're Iggy azalea [00:01:52]

Fake and so plastic you've heisted the magic [00:01:55]

You've taken the drums and the accent you rapped in [00:01:57]

You're branded hip-hop it's so fascist and backwards [00:01:59]

That grand master flashed go slap it you bastard [00:02:01]

All the money that you made [00:02:03]

All the watered down pop-bullshit [00:02:05]

version of the culture pal [00:02:07]

Go buy a big-ass lawn go with your big-ass house [00:02:08]

Get a big-ass fence keep people out [00:02:10]

It's all stubborn anyway can't you see that now [00:02:12]

There's no way for you to even that out [00:02:14]

You can join the march protest scream and shout [00:02:16]

Get on twitter hash tag and seem like you're down [00:02:18]

But they see through it all people believe you now [00:02:21]

You said publicly rest in peace mike brown [00:02:23]

You speak about equality but do you really mean it [00:02:25]

Are you marching for freedom or when it's convenient [00:02:27]

Want people to like you want to be accepted [00:02:29]

That's probably why you are out here protesting [00:02:32]

Don't think for a second you don't have incentive [00:02:34]

Is this about you well then what's your intention [00:02:36]

What's the intention what's the intention [00:02:39]

Psst I totally get it you're by yourself [00:03:20]

And the last thing you want to do is take a picture [00:03:21]

But seriously my little girl loves you [00:03:23]

She's always singing I'm gonna pop some tags [00:03:25]

I'm not kidding my oldest [00:03:28]

you even got him to go thrifting [00:03:30]

And one love oh my god that song brilliant [00:03:32]

Their aunt is gay when that song came out [00:03:35]

My son told his whole class he was actually proud [00:03:37]

That's so cool look what you're accomplishing [00:03:40]

Even the old mom like me [00:03:43]

likes it cause it's positive [00:03:45]

You're the only hip-hop [00:03:46]

that I let my kids listen to [00:03:47]

Cause you get it all [00:03:48]

that negative stuff it isn't cool [00:03:50]

Yeah [00:03:51]

Yeah like all the guns and the drugs [00:03:52]

The bitches and the hoes [00:03:54]

and the gangs and the thugs [00:03:55]

Even the protest outside so sad and so dumb [00:03:56]

If a cop pulls you over it's your fault if you run [00:03:59]

Huh [00:04:04]

So they feel that the police are discriminating [00:04:05]

against the the black people [00:04:07]

I [00:04:10]

Cause I'm white what no [00:04:11]

See more people nowadays are just pussies [00:04:14]

Like this is the generation [00:04:16]

to be offended by everything [00:04:17]

Black lives matter' thing is [00:04:19]

a reason to take arms up [00:04:22]

over perceived slights [00:04:24]

I'm not prejudiced I just [00:04:26]

99% of the time across this country [00:04:28]

the police are doing their job properly [00:04:30]

Damn a lot of opinions a lot [00:04:32]

of confusion a lot of resentment [00:04:36]

Some of us scared some of us defensive [00:04:37]

And most of us aren't even paying attention [00:04:40]

It seems like we're more concerned [00:04:42]

with being called racist [00:04:45]

Than we actually are with racism [00:04:46]

I've heard that silences are action [00:04:49]

and god knows that I've been passive [00:04:51]

What if I actually read [00:04:53]

a article actually had a dialogue [00:04:55]

Actually looked at myself actually got involved [00:04:56]

If I'm aware of my privilege and do nothing [00:04:59]

at all I don't know [00:05:01]

Hip-hop has always been political yes [00:05:05]

It's the reason why this music connects [00:05:07]

So what the fuck has happened to my voice [00:05:09]

If I stay silent when black people are dying [00:05:11]

Then I'm trying to be politically correct [00:05:13]

I can book a whole tour sell out the tickets [00:05:15]

Rap entrepreneur built his own business [00:05:18]

If I'm only in this for my own self [00:05:21]

Interest not the culture that gave me [00:05:23]

a voice to begin with [00:05:25]

Then this isn't authentic it is just a gimmick [00:05:26]

The DIY underdog so independent [00:05:29]

But the one thing the American dream [00:05:32]

fails to mention [00:05:34]

Is I was many steps ahead to begin with [00:05:35]

My skin matches the hero likeness the image [00:05:37]

America feels safe with my music in their systems [00:05:40]

And it's suited me perfect [00:05:43]

the role I've fulfilled it [00:05:44]

And if I'm the hero you know [00:05:46]

who gets cast as the villain [00:05:47]

White supremacy isn't just a white dude in Idaho [00:05:49]

White supremacy protects the privilege I hold [00:05:51]

White supremacy is the soil [00:05:54]

the foundation the cement [00:05:56]

And the flag that flies outside of my home [00:05:57]

White supremacy is our country's lineage [00:06:00]

designed for us to be Indifferent [00:06:02]

My success is the product of the same system [00:06:05]

That let off Darren Wilson guilty [00:06:08]

We want to dress like walk like [00:06:10]

talk like dance like yet [00:06:13]

We just stand by [00:06:14]

We take all we want from black culture [00:06:15]

But will we show up for black lives [00:06:18]

We want to dress like walk like talk like dance [00:06:21]

Like yet we just stand by [00:06:24]

We take all we want from black culture [00:06:26]

But will we show up for black lives [00:06:29]

Black lives matter to use an analogy is like if [00:06:34]

If there was a subdivision and a house was on fire [00:06:36]

The fire department wouldn't show up [00:06:38]

And start putting water on all the houses [00:06:40]

because all houses matter [00:06:42]

They would show up and they would turn [00:06:44]

their water on the house [00:06:45]

That was burning because that's the house [00:06:47]

that needs the help the most [00:06:47]

My generation's taken on the torch of [00:06:49]

a very age-old fight for black liberation [00:06:52]

But also liberation for everyone injustice [00:06:56]

anywhere is still injustice everywhere [00:07:00]

The best thing white people [00:07:03]

can do is talk to each other [00:07:04]

Having those very difficult [00:07:06]

very painful conversations [00:07:08]

with your parents [00:07:09]

With your family members [00:07:10]

I think one of the critical questions [00:07:12]

for white people in this society is [00:07:14]

What are you willing to risk [00:07:15]

What are you willing to sacrifice [00:07:17]

to create a more just society [00:07:18]

Your silence is a luxury hip-hop is not a luxury [00:07:22]

Your silence is a luxury hip-hop is not a luxury [00:07:32]

Your silence is a luxury hip-hop is not a luxury [00:07:42]

Your silence is a luxury hip-hop is not a luxury [00:07:52]

What I got for me it is for me [00:08:01]

What we made we [00:08:07]

What I got for me it is for me [00:08:12]

What we made we made to set us free [00:08:17]

What I got for me it is for me [00:08:22]

What we made we made to set us free [00:08:27]
