Have you ever prayed to the night sky?
|
Under one of them cold street lights?
|
Watched another stolen car drive by,
|
lose your hope and say
|
"This is where I'll die"?
|
|
But you try to say you know me.
|
But you try to say you're from my world.
|
Well, have you ever gone to sleep to the sounds of the gunshots, sirens,violence all alone?
|
|
They wanna break me down. Hope I can hold my ground.
|
|
Your world is MTV. Spring breaks and ecstasy.
|
You'll get your hopes and you'll get your dreams.
|
Well, that choice wasn't there for me.
|
|
My world remains unseen (unseen by you).
|
Poverty, no family,
|
Broken homes and broken dreams,
|
I fall upon the thorns of life. I bleed.
|
|
They want to break me down. I won't back down.
|
They try to break me down. Hope I can hold my ground.
|
|
I ain't your kinda white. I ain't that kinda white.
|
Never be your kinda white, I'll never be your kind 'cause you made me
|
outcast.
|
|
I ain't your kindawhite. I've never been your kinda white.
|
I ain't that kinda white 'cause I'm a lowlife outcast piece of white trash.
|
|
(Let's Go!)
|
Five years on down the road. Two kids and a high paying job,
|
picket fence and a college degree.
|
Well, that choice wasn't there for me.
|
|
This path on which I walk. It ain't a game and it ain't all talk.
|
This is all I ever had.
|
This is all they ever let me have.
|
|
I ain't ever been nor will I ever be another blind eye in society.
|
I seen the way it was for the people like me.
|
I seen the way it was for the families so...
|
|
Have you ever prayed to the night sky?
|
Under one of them cold street lights?
|
Watched another stolen car drive by, lost your hope and said
|
"This is where I'll die"?
|
|
I ain't I your kinda white. I ain't that kinda white.
|
I'll never be your kinda white, I'll never be your kind 'cause you made me
|
outcast.
|
|
I ain't your kinda white. I've never been your kinda white.
|
I ain't that kinda white 'cause I'm a lowlife outcast piece of white trash
|
|
If your offended by this song
|
Well I'm fucking offended about the way i had to grow up
|
So who's really been slighted
|
|
(Let's go!)
|
Have you ever prayed to the night sky?
|
Under one of them cold street lights?
|
Watched another stolen car drive by, lost your hope and said
|
"This is where I'll die"?
|
|
I never had enough money or enough privilege to be white
|
I'm white trash, and society better learn to recognise the difference
