America America ha ha ha we love you
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 freedom of speech the United States
Government has sworn to uphold or so we're told
Yo I want everybody to listen to the words of this song
I never would've dreamed in a million years I'd see
So many motherf**kin' people who feel like me
Who share the same views and the same exact beliefs
It's like a f**kin' army marchin' in back of me
So many lives I touched so much anger aimed
In no particular direction just sprays and sprays
And straight through your radio waves it plays and plays
'Til it stays stuck in your head for days and days
Who would've thought standin'
In this mirror bleachin' my hair
With 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 with somebody up in the office
'Cause congress keep tellin' me
I ain't causin' nothin' but problems
And now they're sayin' I'm in trouble with the government
I'm lovin' it I shoveled s**t all
My life and now I'm dumpin' it on
White America I could be one of your kids
White America little eric looks just like this
White America erica loves my s**t
I go to trl look how many hugs I get yah
White America I could be one of your kids
White America little eric looks just like this
White America erica loves my s**t
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'd lose shady sits on the shelf
But shady's cute shady knew shady's dimples would help
Make ladies swoon baby ooh baby look at my sales
Let's do the math if I was black I would've sold half
I ain't have to graduate from
Lincoln high school to know that
But I could rap so f**k school
I'm too cool to go back
Give me the mic show me
Where the f**kin' studio's at
When I was underground no one
Gave a f**k I was white
No labels wanted to sign me
Almost gave up I was like
F**k it until I met dre the only one to look past
Gave me a chance and I lit
A fire up under his a*s
Helped him get back to the top
Every fan black that I got
Was prob'ly his in exchange for
Every white fan that he's got
Like d**n we just swapped sittin'
Back lookin' at s**t wow
I'm like my skin is it startin'
To work to my benefit now it's
White America I could be one of your kids
White America little eric looks just like this
White America erica loves my s**t
I go to trl look how many hugs I get yah
White America I could be one of your kids
White America little eric looks just like this
White America erica loves my s**t
I go to trl look how many hugs I get
See the problem is I speak to suburban kids
Who otherwise would've never knew these words exist
Whose moms prob'ly would've never gave two squirts of piss
'Til I created so much motherf**kin' turbulence
Straight out the tube right into your livin' rooms I came
And kids flipped when they knew I was produced by dre
That's all it took and they were instantly hooked right in
And they connected with me too because I looked like them
That's why they put my lyrics up under this microscope
Searchin' with a fine tooth comb it's like this rope
Waitin' to choke tightenin' around my throat
Watchin' me while I write this like I don't 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 I'm catchin' the flak from these
Activists when they raggin'
Actin' like I'm the first rapper to
Smack a b***h or say faggot s**t
Just look at me like I'm your closest pal
The poster child the motherf**kin' 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 s**t
I go to trl look how many hugs I get yah
White America I could be one of your kids
White America little eric looks just like this
White America erica loves my s**t
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
The ringleader of this circus of worthless pawns
Sent to lead the march right up to the steps of congress
And piss on the lawns of the white house
To burn the galf and replace it with a parental advisory sticker
To spit liquor in the faces of this democracy of hypocrisy
F**k you ms cheney f**k you tipper gore
F**k you with the freest of speech this divided states of
Embarrassment will allow me to have f**k you
Ha ha ha I'm just playin' America
You know I love you
