[Intro]
Abm
Hands up, officer don’t shoot
Then pull your pants up, promise you won't loot
E             C#m        Abm
We may never understand each other, it’s no use
                E
We ain’t ever gonna grasp what each other goes through
 
[Verse 1]
Bm
Black boy, black boy, we ain't gonna lie to you
Bm
Black boy, black boy, we don't like the sight of you
Bm
Pull up on the side of you
                         Bm
Window rolled down, 'profile'
                                       Bm
Then we wonder why we see this side of you
Probably comin' from the dope house
                                                     Bm
We could let you slide but your tail light is blew, out
We know you're hidin' that Heidi Klum
    Bm
On you another drug charge, homie, it's back inside for you
Bm
And just in case a chase might ensue, we got that tried and true
                                             Bm
Pistol drew right at you, we'd be delighted to unload it
                                                       Bm
In your back, then walk up and lay that taser on the side of you
                                Bm
Fucked up, but what the fuck am I to do?
I keep tellin' myself, keep doin' like you're doin'
No matter how many lives you ruin
                  Bm
It's for the red, white and blue
Time to go find a new one and split his head right in two
N.C.
No one's ever indicted you
Why? 'Cause you're a...
 
[Chorus: Eminem & (Cheech and Chong)]
Bm
White boy, white boy, you're a rockstar
(My momma talkin' to me, tryna tell me how to live)
Bm
White boy, white boy, in your cop car
(But I don't listen to her, 'cause my head is like a sieve)
Bm
White boy, white boy, you're untouchable
(The world's coming to an end, I don't even care)
Bm
Nobody can tell me shit 'cause I'm a (big rockstar)
 
[Verse 2]
Bm
Black boy, black boy, we don't get your culture and
Bm
We don't care what our government's done to fuck you over, man
Bm
Don't tell us your attitude's a result of that
Bm
Balderdash, where’d you get the chip on your shoulder at?
Bm
Why you kicking that soda can?
                                 Bm
Pull your pants up, we 'bout to roll up and
Throw your ass in the van cuffed
Bm
You don't have to know our plans or what our intentions are
Bm
Our cards are close to our chest, you better show your hands
Bm
And put our minds more at ease
Or get shot in the thyroid, comply or die, boy
Bm
We're fightin' a crime war, here come the swine
Bm                                              Bm
Tryna clean up the streets from all these minorities
That's what we call 'em pigsties for
They're like eyesores to police
Bm
Talk to you like just a piece of trash
Feels like we're stuck in a time warp to me
Cm
As I kick these facts and get these mixed reactions
Cm
As this beat backspins, it's like we're drifting back in
Cm
To the sixties, having black-skin is risky
        Cm
'Cause this keeps happening
N.C.
Throughout history, African-Americans have been treated like shit
And I admit, there have been times where it's been embarrassin' to be a...
 
[Chorus: Eminem & (Cheech and Chong)]
Bm
White boy, white boy, you're a rockstar
(My momma talkin' to me, tryna tell me how to live)
Bm
White boy, white boy, in your cop car
(But I don't listen to her, 'cause my head is like a sieve)
Bm
White boy, white boy, you're untouchable
(The world's coming to an end, I don't even care)
Bm
Nobody can tell me shit 'cause I'm a (big rockstar)
 
Pt. II
 
[Verse 3]
                 Gm                        Cm
Seems like the average lifespan of a white man
              Gm
Is more than twice than a black life span
    Dm     Gm
I wonder sometimes if it has a price scanner
                             Gm
I feel like checking out on life, can't escape this circumstance
 F          Gm
I'd rather hear 'em say "Die N-word" than Die Antwoord
Gm
Ninja, now it's better disguised banter
Cm
But that's life, strapped 'cause we're strapped financially
Cm
And can't find answers
                       Gm
We're applying, but McDonald's
                 Gm
Seems to be the only franchise that'll hire
Gm
So how can we have higher standards?
    Gm
As Dallas overshadows the battle for Black Lives Matter
Gm
We fight back with violence but acts like that are
Gm
Black eyes on the movement
                   Gm
Which makes black lives madder
At cops and cops madder
        Cm
That's why it's at a stalemate
                   Cm
Can't arrive at a compromise so it's Black Ops
                Gm
I wonder if we hire more black cops, the crap stops
     Gm                                         Gm
The block is our backyards, officers, not the crack spot
Call the attack dogs off of us, man
    Gm
You always act all pissed off at us at a traffic stop
Gm
And bad cops fuck it up for the good cops, and man, stop
                            Cm
Sendin' white cops in the black neighborhoods
                         Cm
Who ain't acclimated to 'em, like that's the way to do it
                         Gm
Who seen some fuckin' videos of rappers waving guns
                  Gm
And know nobody black so they act afraid of us
               Gm
And that's racism, the fear that a black face gives 'em
    Gm
A subconscious racist
Wait, why are there black neighborhoods?
Gm                              Gm
'Cause America segregated us, designated us to an area
                Gm
Separated us, Section-Eight'd us
                                      Gm
When we tear it up’s the only time attention’s paid to us
                          Gm
And education sucks, and every day's another
                        Gm
Freddie Gray for us, a levy breaks or fuzz
       Gm
Why is it they treat us like dryer lint?
Gm
We just want a safe environment for our kids
           Gm
But can’t escape the sirens
                                           Gm
Don’t take a scientist to see our violent nature lies in
                                        Gm
The poverty that we face so the crime rate’s the highest in
            Gm
The lowest classes, it's like a razor wire fence
                                  Gm
And we’re trapped in these racial biases
That plague our society which makes our anxiety levels raise
Every time we see a devil’s face
 Gm
Lions, tigers, and bears, oh my
                Gm
It's more like billy clubs and gats
                                            Gm
And we really love it when you think we’re guilty ‘cause we’re black
"But you kill each other, facts
     Gm
You peel each other's caps, for silly stuff like hats”
Gm
Single mother strugglin’ through substance abuse
       Gm
While people with nothin' to lose shoot each other for shoes
Gm
Fuck your Republican views
                  Gm
Pull ourselves up by our bootstraps, where the fuck are the boots?
Gm
And streets act as a narrator, don't gotta read comics
Gm                                      Gm
Or be that into characters, just to see that, just to be black
You better be strapped with a derringer
Gm
Or be “capped in America” like Steve Rogers
Cm
'Cause no one oversees these cops and
Cm
All we see is 'em beat charges
                   Gm
We done seen 'em beat Rodney King unconscious, and got off
            Gm
So we don't need all you crooked police officers' peace offerings
Gm                  Gm
Just keep marchin', 'til we reach congress
Gm                                                  Gm
But they're gonna say you're tryin' to take an irrational stance
If you try to slander the flag but
          Cm
Somebody has to be the sacrificial lamb
                     Cm
So they call it a Kaepernick tantrum
If you don't stand for the national anthem
Gm
We raise it, you better praise it
                     Gm
Or you'll be made to feel like a traitor, we'll
Treat you like Rodney Dangerfield
Gm
Home of the brave is still racist 'ville
                Gm
So this whole nation feels like a plantation field
                   Gm                                       Gm
In a country that claims that its foundation was based on United States ideals
That had its Natives killed
Got you singin' this star-spangled spiel
                              Gm
To a piece of cloth that represents the "Land of the Free" that made people slaves to build
