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
