Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, it doesn't seem right
That I, I was born white
And my parents don't fight
They told me they love me each night
I don't lose sleep for kids sewing my sheets
Or the ones stitching my sneaks
As long as I can buy 'em both cheap, yeah
[Verse 2]
American privilege keeps blurring my vision
Inherited sickness, ah
American privilege keeps blurring my vision
Inherited sickness, ah, yeah
[Verse 3]
Everyday I piss money away
I'm, I'm a material slave
Tryna polish this ball and this chain
Cause I, I don't think twice
Just keep it out of my sight
Bitch don't kill my vibe, oh
Bitch don't kill my vibe
[Verse 4]
American privilege keeps blurring my vision
Inherited sickness, ah
American privilege keeps blurring my vision
Inherited sickness, ah
[Verse 5]
Robbing Peter to pay Paul
Cash that paycheck and spend it all
Build that house up big and tall
Robbing Peter to pay Paul
[Verse 6]
Yeah, robbing Peter to pay Paul
As long as I stay comfortable, yeah
Cash that paycheck, spend it all
On shit that I'll throw away each Fall
We'll build that house up big and tall
We'll break the bank to build the wall
We're robbing Peter to pay Paul
As long as I stay comfortable
[Verse 7]
American privilege keeps blurring my vision
(Just long as I'm comfortable, yeah)
Inherited sickness, ah
American privilege keeps blurring my vision
Inherited sickness, oh
