White America

Written by: Eminem/Jeff Bass/Luis Resto/Steve King/DJ Head

America!

Hahaha!

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

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

Or so we're told

I never would've dreamed in a million years I'd see

So many motherfvxkin' people who feel like me

Who share the same views

And the same exact beliefs

It's like a fvxkin' 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-sh1rt 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 keeps 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 sx1t 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 sx1t

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 sx1t

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 fvxk school

I'm too cool to go back

Give me the mic!

Show me where the fvxkin' studio's at

When I was underground

No one gave a fvxk I was white

No lables wanted to sign me

Almost gave up, I was like, \"Fvxk it\"

Until I met Dre

The only one to 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 prob'ly his

In exchange for every white fan that he's got

Like damn, we just swapped:

Sittin' back look at sx1t, 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 sx1t

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 sx1t

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 2 squirts of piss

'Til I created so much motherfvxkin' 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 b1xch, or say \"fagg0t\"

Sx1t

Just look at me like I'm your closest pal

The poster child

The motherfvxkin' 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 sx1t

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 sx1t

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 the 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 (*censored \"flag\"*) and replace it

With a Parental Advisory sticker

To spit liquor in the faces of this democracy of hypocrisy

Fvxk you, Ms. Cheney!

Fvxk you, Tipper Gore!

Fvxk you with the freest of speech

This Divided States of Embarrassment will allow me to have!

Fvxk you!

Hahaha

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