Yeah I'm doing alright when I wanna be white Wanted to be black, bounced back in the night Yeah I'm doing alright when I wanna be white Wanted to be black, bounced back to the light No I'm not talking about my skin, we all kin I'm referring to righteousness and sin Yeah I'm doing alright when I wanna be white Wanted to be black, bounced back in the night Yeah I'm doing alright when I wanna be white Wanted to be black, bounced back to the light No I'm not talking about my skin, we all kin I'm referring to righteousness and sin Who did manipulate How we refer to our biggest organ? Skin Let's all get this straight We've used the words "black and white" way before in Attempts to divide us, and now we still doing the same Make us feel opposite, mislabeling in our sight so plain This a, brain game that we playing, so let's learn the right terms My skin is peach, and Ye's is brown, we both started as white sperms Denoting someone the wrong color been putting them under And we wonder why, it's because this implicitly implies These standards to races, bad cases stasis If you black, you can sin and win If you white you're sometimes right In this racist imperfect world I'm not surprised that to realize this, it has taken me this long But it's ok cause now I can share that we were all wrong, together Yeah I'm doing alright when I wanna be white Wanted to be black, bounced back in the night Yeah I'm doing alright when I wanna be white Wanted to be black, bounced back to the light No I'm not talking about my skin, we all kin I'm referring to righteousness and sin Yeah I'm doing alright when I wanna be white Wanted to be black, bounced back in the night Yeah I'm doing alright when I wanna be white Wanted to be black, bounced back to the light No I'm not talking about my skin, we all kin I'm referring to righteousness and sin I was in Miami And met what I assume to be a man he Was looking down with an angry frown It appeared his skin color brown Like everyone else, I knew he liked joy He said "If I was off parole, I'd fight and kill you white boy" Ironically I was wearing all black and red I prayed I could figure out how to put the sadness I felt for him in my rap instead So I can help people to tell Why it feels like we live in hell It all comes down to the words we dwell Speaking and hearing G-d casts magic spells That frees you from your mental cells Yeah I'm doing alright when I'm wanna be white Wanted to be black, bounced back in the night Yeah I'm doing alright when I'm wanna be white Wanted to be black, bounced back to the light No I'm not talking about my skin, we all kin I'm referring to righteousness and sin
