[00:00:00] White Privilege II(Feat. Jamila Woods)-

[00:00:01] Jamila Woods&Ryan Lewis&Macklemore

[00:00:17] Pulled into the parking lot parked it

[00:00:19] Zipped up my parka joined

[00:00:21] the procession of marchers

[00:00:22] In my head like is this awkward

[00:00:24] Should I even be here marching

[00:00:26] Thinking if they can't how can I breathe

[00:00:28] Thinking that they chant what do I sing

[00:00:30] I want to take a stance cause we are not free

[00:00:32] And then I thought about it we are not we

[00:00:35] Am I in the outside looking in or

[00:00:37] am I in the inside looking out

[00:00:39] Is it my place to give my two cents

[00:00:41] Or should I stand on the side and shut my mouth

[00:00:43] No justice no peace okay I'm saying that

[00:00:47] They're chanting out black lives matter

[00:00:50] but I don't say it back

[00:00:52] Is it okay for me to say I don't know

[00:00:55] so I watch and stand

[00:00:55] In front of a line of police

[00:00:57] that look the same as me

[00:00:58] Only separated by a badge a baton a

[00:01:01] can of mace a mask

[00:01:02] A shield a gun with gloves and hands

[00:01:03] that gives an alibi

[00:01:04] In case somebody dies behind

[00:01:06] a bullet that flies out of the 9

[00:01:07] Takes another child's life on sight

[00:01:09] Blood in the streets no justice no peace

[00:01:13] No racist beliefs no rest 'til we're free

[00:01:18] There's blood in the streets no justice no peace

[00:01:22] No racist beliefs no rest 'til we're free

[00:01:27] Blood in the streets no justice no peace

[00:01:31] No racist beliefs no rest 'til we're free

[00:01:35] There's blood in the streets no justice no peace

[00:01:39] No racist beliefs no rest 'til we're free

[00:01:46] You've exploited and stolen the music the moment

[00:01:48] The magic the passion the fashion you toy with

[00:01:50] The culture was never yours to make better

[00:01:52] You're miley you're Elvis you're Iggy azalea

[00:01:55] Fake and so plastic you've heisted the magic

[00:01:57] You've taken the drums and the accent you rapped in

[00:01:59] You're branded hip-hop it's so fascist and backwards

[00:02:01] That grand master flashed go slap it you bastard

[00:02:03] All the money that you made

[00:02:05] All the watered down pop-bullshit

[00:02:07] version of the culture pal

[00:02:08] Go buy a big-ass lawn go with your big-ass house

[00:02:10] Get a big-ass fence keep people out

[00:02:12] It's all stubborn anyway can't you see that now

[00:02:14] There's no way for you to even that out

[00:02:16] You can join the march protest scream and shout

[00:02:18] Get on twitter hash tag and seem like you're down

[00:02:21] But they see through it all people believe you now

[00:02:23] You said publicly rest in peace mike brown

[00:02:25] You speak about equality but do you really mean it

[00:02:27] Are you marching for freedom or when it's convenient

[00:02:29] Want people to like you want to be accepted

[00:02:32] That's probably why you are out here protesting

[00:02:34] Don't think for a second you don't have incentive

[00:02:36] Is this about you well then what's your intention

[00:02:39] What's the intention what's the intention

[00:03:20] Psst I totally get it you're by yourself

[00:03:21] And the last thing you want to do is take a picture

[00:03:23] But seriously my little girl loves you

[00:03:25] She's always singing I'm gonna pop some tags

[00:03:28] I'm not kidding my oldest

[00:03:30] you even got him to go thrifting

[00:03:32] And one love oh my god that song brilliant

[00:03:35] Their aunt is gay when that song came out

[00:03:37] My son told his whole class he was actually proud

[00:03:40] That's so cool look what you're accomplishing

[00:03:43] Even the old mom like me

[00:03:45] likes it cause it's positive

[00:03:46] You're the only hip-hop

[00:03:47] that I let my kids listen to

[00:03:48] Cause you get it all

[00:03:50] that negative stuff it isn't cool

[00:03:51] Yeah

[00:03:52] Yeah like all the guns and the drugs

[00:03:54] The bitches and the hoes

[00:03:55] and the gangs and the thugs

[00:03:56] Even the protest outside so sad and so dumb

[00:03:59] If a cop pulls you over it's your fault if you run

[00:04:04] Huh

[00:04:05] So they feel that the police are discriminating

[00:04:07] against the the black people

[00:04:10] I

[00:04:11] Cause I'm white what no

[00:04:14] See more people nowadays are just pussies

[00:04:16] Like this is the generation

[00:04:17] to be offended by everything

[00:04:19] Black lives matter' thing is

[00:04:22] a reason to take arms up

[00:04:24] over perceived slights

[00:04:26] I'm not prejudiced I just

[00:04:28] 99% of the time across this country

[00:04:30] the police are doing their job properly

[00:04:32] Damn a lot of opinions a lot

[00:04:36] of confusion a lot of resentment

[00:04:37] Some of us scared some of us defensive

[00:04:40] And most of us aren't even paying attention

[00:04:42] It seems like we're more concerned

[00:04:45] with being called racist

[00:04:46] Than we actually are with racism

[00:04:49] I've heard that silences are action

[00:04:51] and god knows that I've been passive

[00:04:53] What if I actually read

[00:04:55] a article actually had a dialogue

[00:04:56] Actually looked at myself actually got involved

[00:04:59] If I'm aware of my privilege and do nothing

[00:05:01] at all I don't know

[00:05:05] Hip-hop has always been political yes

[00:05:07] It's the reason why this music connects

[00:05:09] So what the fuck has happened to my voice

[00:05:11] If I stay silent when black people are dying

[00:05:13] Then I'm trying to be politically correct

[00:05:15] I can book a whole tour sell out the tickets

[00:05:18] Rap entrepreneur built his own business

[00:05:21] If I'm only in this for my own self

[00:05:23] Interest not the culture that gave me

[00:05:25] a voice to begin with

[00:05:26] Then this isn't authentic it is just a gimmick

[00:05:29] The DIY underdog so independent

[00:05:32] But the one thing the American dream

[00:05:34] fails to mention

[00:05:35] Is I was many steps ahead to begin with

[00:05:37] My skin matches the hero likeness the image

[00:05:40] America feels safe with my music in their systems

[00:05:43] And it's suited me perfect

[00:05:44] the role I've fulfilled it

[00:05:46] And if I'm the hero you know

[00:05:47] who gets cast as the villain

[00:05:49] White supremacy isn't just a white dude in Idaho

[00:05:51] White supremacy protects the privilege I hold

[00:05:54] White supremacy is the soil

[00:05:56] the foundation the cement

[00:05:57] And the flag that flies outside of my home

[00:06:00] White supremacy is our country's lineage

[00:06:02] designed for us to be Indifferent

[00:06:05] My success is the product of the same system

[00:06:08] That let off Darren Wilson guilty

[00:06:10] We want to dress like walk like

[00:06:13] talk like dance like yet

[00:06:14] We just stand by

[00:06:15] We take all we want from black culture

[00:06:18] But will we show up for black lives

[00:06:21] We want to dress like walk like talk like dance

[00:06:24] Like yet we just stand by

[00:06:26] We take all we want from black culture

[00:06:29] But will we show up for black lives

[00:06:34] Black lives matter to use an analogy is like if

[00:06:36] If there was a subdivision and a house was on fire

[00:06:38] The fire department wouldn't show up

[00:06:40] And start putting water on all the houses

[00:06:42] because all houses matter

[00:06:44] They would show up and they would turn

[00:06:45] their water on the house

[00:06:47] That was burning because that's the house

[00:06:47] that needs the help the most

[00:06:49] My generation's taken on the torch of

[00:06:52] a very age-old fight for black liberation

[00:06:56] But also liberation for everyone injustice

[00:07:00] anywhere is still injustice everywhere

[00:07:03] The best thing white people

[00:07:04] can do is talk to each other

[00:07:06] Having those very difficult

[00:07:08] very painful conversations

[00:07:09] with your parents

[00:07:10] With your family members

[00:07:12] I think one of the critical questions

[00:07:14] for white people in this society is

[00:07:15] What are you willing to risk

[00:07:17] What are you willing to sacrifice

[00:07:18] to create a more just society

[00:07:22] Your silence is a luxury hip-hop is not a luxury

[00:07:32] Your silence is a luxury hip-hop is not a luxury

[00:07:42] Your silence is a luxury hip-hop is not a luxury

[00:07:52] Your silence is a luxury hip-hop is not a luxury

[00:08:01] What I got for me it is for me

[00:08:07] What we made we

[00:08:12] What I got for me it is for me

[00:08:17] What we made we made to set us free

[00:08:22] What I got for me it is for me

[00:08:27] What we made we made to set us free
