If I Was White Lyrics by Cameron Forbes

0

I know they said that Martin had a dream
And Mama said I could be anything
But lately I don’t know what to believe
Cause people with skin like me
Are more likely to be incarcerated
And more likely to be less educated
In 2021 and it’s frustrating
I’m losing patience
If one day the crowds should say my name
Hope these words will reach you from my grave
If I was white
I’d still be alive
And there’d be no pain
In my mother’s eyes
It just ain’t right
My heart wouldn’t race
When the police
Are passing me by
If I was white
Maybe I would walk a little taller
Wouldn’t switch it up when they be callin’
Wealth in generations keep me ballin’
I’d be ballin’
Never stalling
Or maybe I would be someone who stands up
Cause ignorance ain’t bliss no it’s a cancer
So if you see my with hands up
I need more than your camera
And if one day the crowds should say my name
Hoping that these words won’t be in vain
If I was white
I’d still be alive
And there’d be no pain
In my mother’s eyes
It just ain’t right
My heart wouldn’t race
When the police
Are passing me by
If I was white
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na
