LYRICS
Oh, it doesn’t seem right
That I was born white
And my parents don’t fight
Told me they loved me each night
I don’t lose sleep
For the kids sewing me sheets or
The ones stitching my sneaks
As long I can buy them both cheap
American privilege
Keeps blurring my vision
Inherited sickness
American privilege
Keeps blurring my vision
Inherited sickness
Everyday I piss money away
A material slave
Just trying to polish this ball and this chain
Cos I, I don’t think twice
Just keep it out of my sight
Bitch, don’t kill my vibe, no
Bitch, don’t kill my vibe
American privilege
Keeps blurring my vision
Inherited sickness
American privilege
Keeps blurring my vision
Inherited sickness
Robbing Peter to pay Paul
Cash that paycheck
Spend it all
Build that house up big and tall
Robbing Peter to pay Paul
Robbin’ Peter to pay Paul
As long as long as I stay comfortable
Cash that paycheck
Spend it all
On shit I’ll throw away next fall
Build that house up big and tall
Break the bank to build the walls
Robbin’ Peter to pay Paul
As long as I stay comfortable
American privilege
Keeps blurring my vision
Inherited sickness
American privilege
Keeps blurring my vision
Inherited sickness
