I'm afraid downtown,
|
'cause some people there are brown
|
And they all have guns,
|
They're like "Nigga, give me money!"
|
I'm white!
|
|
When the night comes,
|
They come outside
|
You might hit one with our car,
|
And yell
|
"Twenty points!"
|
|
They might rob your ass,
|
They might pop your ass
|
It all depends on if,
|
Your white or black
|
|
I'll be leaving a baseball game,
|
Might stop at the ATM
|
Someone says, "Excuse me sir, but can a cracker spare some change?"
|
And I pretend that I don't hear him
|
He says, "Please don't walk away! I need cash to buy some books and pencils"
|
I don't give a FUCK!
|
|
I'm afraid downtown,
|
'cause some people there are brown
|
And they all have guns
|
They're like, "Nigga, give me money!"
|
I'm white
|
(I stay at home)
|
With my wife
|
(And kid and dog)
|
And I might drive by the hood,
|
And wave Hi to black people
|
|
I'm afraid to go,
|
See a game of basketball
|
It's a real dark sport,
|
And I don't mean on the court
|
I'm white
|
(I stay at home)
|
And I might
|
(watch basketball)
|
On my
|
(television)
|
But then my fuckin' dog would bark
|
|
And there was a time,
|
I wasn't scared of them,
|
Back then,I'd even,
|
Watch the Cosby Show
|
But then in an episode,
|
Theo stole his dad's car
|
I got scared and built a fence,
|
Around my back yard
|
|
I'll be sipping some light beer
|
I'll catch an episode of Scrubs
|
Maybe speaking with my kids,
|
Picking Jesus over drugs
|
And on the TV someone says,
|
"Send us money, we have AIDS"
|
Well I have AIDS,
|
And I don't give a,
|
I don't give a,
|
I don't give a FUCK!
|
|
I'm afraid downtown,
|
'cause some people there are brown
|
And they all have guns,
|
They're like "Nigga, give me money!"

Oh, no!
|
Someone stole,
|
All our stuff
|
(It was prolly black people!)
|
|
Oh, no!
|
Detroit, lost!
|
All we have is basketball!
|
|
Right now?
|
I stay at home!
|
Tomorrow?
|
I stay at home!
|
All my life?
|
I stay at home,
|
With my Bible!
|
Hanukkah?
|
I stay at home!
|
Ramadan?
|
I stay at home!
|
The white house,?
|
Can't go there
|
|
I'm afraid of black people!
