White Rapper

White boy, white boy

White boy

White boy, white boy

White boy

Nine deuce was the year my ears got introduced to rap

Stealin' instrumentals off singles, I'd use the tracks

MC Pooh, Mellow Man and Jeru the Damaja

Tears from the king and I was the few I had

Practiced in my room for hours, improved my craft

Bought every artist's album that I heard

On the song, Bring it On, number fourteen

Till Death Do Us Part

Wishin' that I was from the 5th ward of Houston bad

A white kid from the burbs, bumpin' 5th Ward Boyz

Too much trouble and see that Odd Squad cassette

Up in class rappin' bum stiggity bum, giggity gangsta, gangsta

Biting Spice 1 and Das EFX

Kris Kross and Method, Redman in my headphones

Blastin' time, Time 4 Sum Aksion

That's when the teacher would get mad

And she would kick me out the classroom

The bell rang, start a cypher in the bathroom

Up inside the gym, take turns spittin'

The beat the bleacher with our hand, tryna keep the beat

Only white dude that went to my school that spit

Proved I'm sick and I will eat emcees

I had room to grow, the talent show, I rock the vest like Treach

Miami Hurricane hat while I held the mic

Haters talkin' shit, like who this fake Vanilla Ice

And I don't care if he's nice on my life

I don't like no white rappers

Growin' up it was tough

My family said that I suck, they gave up

I was just a white rapper

But I created a buzz 'cause I bust

In the booth I go nuts

Man, I'm just a white rapper

Put in work to be dope

And I know that you think I'm a joke

'Cause I'm just a white rapper

Put my heart on the stage, on the page

But at the end of the day

I'm still just a white rapper

9th grade I kept gettin' better

By 10th I was convinced I'd get a deal

My skills improved a hundred percent

Back then, nobody had studio equipment in their crib

I was the only one that did

I spent my life in that basement

On Cruse Road, up in Eagle Pointe

Cops labeled it a gang house, we was doin' music

We dropped out, dreamin' of bein' on

18 and 31, I would go out and perform

Open mics where no one's white

No one likes to clap or give you dap

Clubs you be scared to go inside

Stood at a spot in the hood twenty miles from home

Waitin' to finally hit the stage then blow their mind

Perform for five people or twenty at best

Sendin' demo tapes to labels, a ton of rejects

A ton of fake record company execs saw my talent

And tried they best to convince me they had some to invest

And just wastin' my time, phony mangers scammin' us

Girlfriend and family, the verdict unanimous

To stop rappin', you piece of shit, it's not happenin'

Now act white and grow up

Are you tryin' to embarrass us?

So I told that girl bye, no one's stoppin' my stride

Rhymes kept gettin' better, my buzz was hard to deny

Almost quit and when I did, got introduced to the guy

That put me on and he'd been through the same struggle as I

A white rapper

Growin' up it was tough

My family said that I suck, they gave up

I was just a white rapper

But I created a buzz 'cause I bust

In the booth I go nuts

Man, I'm just a white rapper

Put in work to be dope

And I know that you think I'm a joke

'Cause I'm just a white rapper

Put my heart on the stage, on the page

But at the end of the day

I'm still just a white rapper

Now the rap game is flooded with rappers

From every nationality, a ton of 'em crackers

The fact that I finally came up is miraculous

Twenty years later, my name is becoming established

My album is on the rack at Best Buy

I was at the BET awards, I was sittin' right next to

Luda and Rick Ross but who woulda thought

I was just at Jim 'N Nick's, flippin' chicken tenders and french fries

I used to hate when people asked me what I do for a livin'

It feels great to tell 'em you're a musician

Until they ask what type of music, I tell 'em I rap

Then they laugh, lookin' at me

They be like, who are you kidding?

I be like, Google me, bitch

They always compare us white boys to one another

Is your music like his?

You should be rich, freestyle, makin' stupid requests

Before I made it in music, I never used to have shit

Now I got my own crib, I can afford my car

Fans say my music helps them when they're goin' through hard times

I speak my mind even when I'm goin' too far

Even though a part of me agrees with Lord Jamar

We are guests in hip-hop, I'm appreciative

That you finally let us in the crib

But I busted my ass to get respect for my craft

In interviews they never forget to mention this

That I'm just a white rapper

Growin' up it was tough

My family said that I suck, they gave up

I was just a white rapper

But I created a buzz 'cause I bust

In the booth I go nuts

Man, I'm just a white rapper

Put in work to be dope

And I know that you think I'm a joke

'Cause I'm just a white rapper

I put my heart on the stage, on the page

But at the end of the day

I'm still just a white rapper
