This Is My White Voice |
It’s called the white voice |
I guess I’m… a natural at it |
This is my white voice, this is my white voice |
I drink peppermint tea to keep my pipes moist |
This is my white voice, this is my white voice |
What a time to be alive, this is the high point |
Uh, who am I? |
Good question |
Wait a minute, who are you? |
Code-switching like a motherfucker |
Thumbs up, super cool |
Sealed copy, original pressing |
Virgin vinyl, hoopskerdo |
Cashew milk, turmeric juice |
Bamboo shoots and super food |
Come on, don’t hate the player, you would do it, too |
If it’ll get me a loan, get me a home, get me a Subaru |
A chocolate labrador, a Tahoe cabin or |
Camping, hiking, mountain climbing |
Kathmandu and Ecuador |
Hey, buddy, don’t judge me |
Deep down, I’m still your ninja, mane |
Again, don’t hate the player |
Come on, now, hate the Jenga game |
This is my white voice, this is my white voice |
I drink peppermint tea to keep my pipes moist |
This is my white voice, this is my white voice |
What a time to be alive, this is the high point |
How much of you can you give 'til you break? |
How much of you gettin' used can you take? |
All of these man-made things that we make |
How many of them for your soul’s a fair trade? |
Or maybe just a piece, pound of flesh from your face |
Maybe your voice, trade treble for bass, I mean |
It’s your choice, at least that’s what they say |
As long as you can do the job and get paid (And get paid) |
Code-switch, notice the flow is gorgeous |
As long as your point of view is corporate |
You’ll be supported unless there’s some orphans |
Then you’ll get sacrificed, your career murdered |
So that those that came before you can go further |
Hold up the status quo that they’ve courted |
On their knees, all needs go unnoticed |
All good deeds exploited and then punished |
Gone are the times when the TVs were black and white |
Largely defined of the feeling that white was right |
This is my white voice, this is my white voice |
I drink peppermint tea to keep my pipes moist |
This is my white voice, this is my white voice |
What a time to be alive, this is the high point |
This is my white voice, this is my white voice |
I drink peppermint tea to keep my pipes moist |
This is my white voice, this is my white voice |
What a time to be alive, this is the high point |
