Samantha White: Dear White People Lyrics

Don't let them call you a racist

If you got your black fist up in the air making a statement, to the point you're seen as dangerous

Beyoncé had the 'Panthers' in 'Formation'

Emphatic in presentation, dramatic within it's weigh in on tactics of segregation

And Morgan & Lauhren's statements of blatant

Disrespect that she's anti-cop lack intellect and I got

More for you to disregard when I'm defining pro-black

With cold facts for melanin snapshots that's Kodak Black

Imagery's literally high definition

I challenge you, think critically despite your suspicions

I interrupt your thinking that relied on tradition

That left Sandra Bland hung out to dry while imprisoned

Traumatized like war torn vets

Don't know what's deadlier, the 'Rona or that knee that's crushing George Floyd's neck

And yet I'm the threat, raw in a Metallica tee

Skater jeans and anything else that ain't blacker than me

So in the middle of a pandemic, it's that hectic

When cops enforce social distancing with crass methods

Protesters get slapped to the pavement, then get mashed out

White folk outside congregating? their masks get passed out

And I ain't got a problem with white folk

Unless my presence keeps you off balance 'cause racism's your tightrope

And I hope you use your privilege that's that significant

To make a point more than pyramids for black innocence

Just because I'm pro-black, doesn't mean I'm anti-white

King in my black skin, doesn't mean I'm anti-Christ

Black pride's a raging fire, they've rather see candle lights

Just because I'm pro-black, doesn't mean I'm anti-white

Yeah, you gotta deal with it

I don't hate your blue eyes, I'm being real with it. Listen up

Just because I'm pro-black, doesn't mean I'm anti-white

Dear white people, I'm that change in Samantha White

Anti-white? You must be insane

That Logic's kinda Shady when there's Leah James

I'm a fan of Ashley Graham, plus size with curves

Like I love Jill Scott, that's my word, my heroes were

Straight Outta Compton and straight up pop

I studied Nasir Jones and Aesop Rock

I loved two non black girls who ate up 'Pac

And my daughter's best friend will have you straight up shocked

You should've known a Caucasian would've been her road dawg

Her first crush at five had blue eyes and a mohawk

So when I say I'm pro-black, I'm not attacking lack of melanin

I'm urging youth that's black to pull up pants and act like gentlemen

Not 'cause of Cosby's reprimand

But because you're often seen as the threat at hand and not the better man

Who never go a lot further, they're Bob Schmurdered

By a justice system going light on a Brock Turner

So I don't trust a racist cop further

Than I can throw him, knowing they choke us out and leave us on the block murdered

This 'Real America'? Please stand up

Does my life matter or you rather see this rapper handcuffed

Cause a lot of us are studious college kids

With 'Stacey's that don't 'Dash' to "Clueless" politics

And now's here's a myth, plus a point that's factual

White men can't jump and black men can't storm the Capitol

Just because I'm pro-black, doesn't mean I'm anti-white

King in my black skin, doesn't mean I'm anti-Christ

Black pride's a raging fire, they've rather see candle lights

Just because I'm pro-black, doesn't mean I'm anti-white

Yeah, you gotta deal with it

I don't hate your blue eyes, I'm being real with it. Listen up

Just because I'm pro-black, doesn't mean I'm anti-white

Dear white people, I'm that change in Samantha White

And for the record, I got love for white people and

Black people, Brown people

Asian American, Latino people

As long as they know my life matters, and they're down to change the standard

And I got love for white people and

Black people, Brown people

Native American, Indigenous people

Cause we're all saved by the blood, but don't label me as a thug

For the record, I got love for white people and

Black people, Brown people

Asian American, Latino people

As long as they know my life matters, and they're down to change the standard

And I got love for white people and

Black people, Brown people

Native American, Indigenous people

Cause we're all saved by the blood, but don't label me as a thug
