Artist/Band: Eminem
Lyrics for Song: White America
Lyrics for Album: The Eminem Show [2002]



America

We love you/How many people are proud to be citizens

of this beautiful country of ours?

The stripes and the stars

For the rights that men have died for to protect.

The women and men who have broke their necks for the freedem of speech

the United States Government has sworn to uphold

or so we are told

(Yo, I want everyone to listen to the words of this song)



I never would have dreamed in a million years id see

so many motherfuckin people who feel like me

Who share the same views

And the same exact beliefs

Its like a fuckin army marchin in back of me

So many lives i touch,

So much anger aimed at no particular direction

Just sprays and sprays

Straight through your radio waves

It plays and plays

Till it stays stuck in your head

For days and days

who woulda thought standin in this mirror

Bleachin my hair wit some Peroxide

Reachin for a T shirt to wear

That i would catapult to the forefront of rap like this

How could I predict my words would have an impact like this

I must've struck a chord wit somebody up in the office

Cuz congress keeps tellin me

I aint causin nothin but problems

And now they sayin im in trouble with the government

Im lovin it

I shovelled shit all my life

And now dumping it in it on



WHITE AMERICA

I could be one of your kids

WHITE AMERICA

little eric looks just like this

WHITE AMERICA

'Erica loves my shit

I go to TRL

Look how many hugs i get



WHITE AMERICA

I could be one of ur kids

WHITE AMERICA

little eric looks just like this

WHITE AMERICA

Erica loves my shit

I go to TRL

Look how many hugs i get



Look at these eyes baby blue baby just like yourself

If they were brown

Shady lose Shady sits on the shelf

But Shadys cute

Shady knew

Shady's dimples would help

Make ladies swoon baby

(ooo baby)



Look at myself

Lets do the math,

If i was black i woulda sold half

I aint have to graduate

From Lincoln High School to know that

But i can rap so fuck school

Im too cool to go back

Gimme the mic

Show me where the fuckin studio's at

When i was underground

No one gave a fuck i was white

No lables wanted to sign me

Almost gave up, i was like Fuck it

Until I met Dre

The only one who looked past

Gave me a chance

And i lit a fire up under his ass

Helped him get back to the top

Every fan black that i got

Was probably his

In exchange for every white fan that he's got

Like damn we just swapped

Sittin back lookin at shit, wow.

Im like My skin, is it startin to work to my benefit now?



WHITE AMERICA

I could be one of your kids

WHITE AMERICA

little eric looks just like this

WHITE AMERICA

'Erica loves my shit

I go to TRL

Look how many hugs i get



WHITE AMERICA

I could be one of your kids

WHITE AMERICA

little eric looks just like this

WHITE AMERICA

'Erica loves my shit

I go to TRL

Look how many hugs i get



See the problem is i speak to suburban kids

Who otherwise

Woulda never knew these words exist

whose moms probably woulda never gave 2 squirts of piss

Till i created so much mutha fuckin turbulence

Straight out the tube right into ya livin rooms i came

And kids Flipped

When they knew i was produced by Dre

Thats all it took

And they were instantly hooked right in

And they connected wit me too because i looked like them

Thats why they put my lyrics up under this microscope

Searchin with a fine tooth comb

Its like this rope waitin to choke

Tightenin around my throat

Watchin me while i write this like I dont like this note

All i hear is:

Lyrics lyrics constant controversy

Sponsors workin round the clock

To try to stop my concerts early

Surely hip hop was never a problem

In Harlem only in Boston

After it bothered the fathers

of daughters startin to blossom

so now im catchin the flack from these activists

When they raggin

Actin like im the 1st rapper to smack a bitch or say faggot

Shit, Just look at me like im your closest pal

the poster child

the mutha fuckin spokesman now for



WHITE AMERICA

I could be one of your kids

WHITE AMERICA

little eric looks just like this

WHITE AMERICA

Erica loves my shit

I go to TRL

Look how many hugs i get



WHITE AMERICA

I could be one of your kids

WHITE AMERICA

little eric looks just like this

WHITE AMERICA

Erica loves my shit

I go to TRL

Look how many hugs i get



So to the parents of America

I am the derringer aimed at little Erica

To attack her character of

The ring leader of the circus of worthless pawns

Sent to lead the march right up to the steps of Congress

And piss on the lawns of the whitehouse

and to burn the casket and replace it with a parental advisory sticker

To spit liquor in the faces of this democracy of hypocrisy

Fuck you Ms Cheney!

Fuck you Tipper Gore!

Fuck you with the freedom of speech these divided states

of embarassment will allow me to have,

Fuck You !



Ha Ha Ha

I'm just playin America, you know i love you
