|
| Yeah, yo
|
| The psychology is why I watch this Friends shit
|
| Had so many late-night European friendships
|
| Date night was paint night, outsiders they might
|
| See Rachel on my arm, be alarmed, 'cause her skin light
|
| I caught the glances, th stances, associations, advancements of colored people
|
| See you as the Panther’s enemy, no energy I’m givin' to division
|
| My queen, she isn’t Rachel, she represents women of many shades
|
| Her DNA’s a blend of master of slaves
|
| And she don’t receive them privileged ways
|
| Appropriation with the slang, and her braids
|
| Educated from «Get Out», «Us», and black Twitter craze
|
| You be mimickin' lips, eyes, and thighs, love the dick size
|
| Hate the credit score, sex so wet, the more I’ve
|
| Come to realize you could utilize lives they say matter, take a knee
|
| No proposal, but rather no anthem, no star-spangled banner
|
| No jungle fever, plans of parenthood, no Margaret Singer
|
| She lingle in the front of the line, do you mind
|
| Scoochin' over, take your ass to the back, we here with Rosa
|
| Rachel Green, Rachel Green, it’s a privileged thing
|
| I know it’s well you mean, that don’t change anything
|

|
| Affirmative, you take action, 9−1-1, please come
|
| This black man with two white kids, I’m
|
| Just concerned, perform citizen duty gladly
|
| How dare you venture here, dear sincerely permed patty?
|
| I’m sure your daddy cosigns most times, so kind
|
| You ever heard of bank red lines, rode the red line
|
| Clutched your purse, fuck your money, gettin' paid with this verse
|
| Livin' single before Central Perk
|
| Poppin' percs, get the perks, years later from free labor
|
| EBT later, she a black single mother hater
|
| You take offense, I’m convinced this about you
|
| Find a mirror, see clearer what you doubt true
|
| Rachel Green simply means you prioritize over other lives
|
| You pretend not to realize
|
| Close your eyes, blindfold to the world’s ill
|
| Pissed at cashier, she can’t break a hundred bill
|
| Those couple coins for the homeless don’t cut it either
|
| #MeToo if you a privileged believer
|
| Opportunity receiver, keep your funds tucked
|
| Singin' the Friends theme song, this idea comes up
|
| RACHEL: Guess what?
|
| ROSS: You got a job?

|
| There’s no gene for racism, there’s no gene for bigotry. |
| You’re not born a
|
| bigot, you have to learn to be a bigot. |
| Anything you learn you can unlearn.
|
| It’s time to unlearn our bigotry. |
| It’s time to get over this thing,
|
| and we best get over it pretty soon. |
| I’m an educator, and it’s my business as
|
| an educator to lead people out of ignorance. |
| The ignorance of thinking that
|
| you’re better or worse than someone else because of the amount of pigment in
|
| your skin |
