White Man's Burden

(Verse 1)

I grew up on some hardcore rap shit battle

Spit, back to back - fuck the wack shit

It was all gangsta rap and political black power

Once a week I'd tape radio's rap hour

Way before I thought about a hidden agenda

I was hatin my white skin and hatin my gender

Didn't wanna represent rapists and murderers

The white man's burden is not what you heard it is

It ain't about a mission to christian the heathens

But it's connected to that vision of us as superior

Beings

And the world's darkest history

His story is my story it ain't no mystery

Why our children seeking chemical relief

Infected by our parents' old cynical beliefs

Inherited like a genetical disease

Somebody help me please man I wanna be released!

(Chorus)

I can't carry the weight I can't bear the burden

My heritage's too heavy for my shoulders

Can't burry the hate it bubble up to the surface

And history repeat itself all over

Can't carry the weight I can't bear the burden

My heritage's too heavy for my shoulders

I can't bury the hate it bubble up to the surface

Now listen...

(Verse 2)

Man I grew up in a little ass middle class town

In the middle of nowhere, bitter and so scared

And just like everybody else I was hiding it well

Some couldn't keep it inside, well they were either in

Jail

Or searching for life in the bottles and pills

Some tried, then commited suicide when it failed

Cus when the black cloud's filling your lungs

You don't need to speak German to know the meaning of

Angst

The hate, the blame, the razor blades

The sedatives are your only relatives

We take the blame for the grave mistakes

And we cannot live with our lonely heritage

And you might feel like I ain't grateful thinkin I'm

Hitchin

Cus I supposedly got it all but my skin is like itchin

And as the bread of sorrow fills my belly

I chew and swallow, but still feel empty cus...

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)

As our children growin up in a white supremacy

I ain't waiting for the backlash I fight the legacy

Cus it seems like they got another wolf-owitz

For wolf-enson and both of which

Are from the wolf pack tuggin at our rear

Together with hawks, eagle, dragon and the bear

Slightly changed terminology but the same old

Philosophy

This time their atrocities in the name of democracy

For the savages that haven't yet squired

The wisdom then I stop - think, who am I in this

System?

It fucks me up when I'm thinkin it through

Then I cheer up cus I'm thinkin of you

And if you can love me, I can love me

We can change, we can fight the ugly

And you gave me these... I hear your words

When I speak cus you ease and you share my burden

And I can carry the weight when we share the burden

Ain't nothing that's too heavy for my shoulders

We can conquer the hate we bring it up to the surface

And listen to what history done told us

I can carry the weight when we share the burden

Ain't nothing that's too heavy for my shoulders

We can conquer the hate we bring it up to the surface

And listen to what hпstory done told us
