Whiteboy Chords by Tom Macdonald

[F] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Dm] I cannot feel guilty for the s*** that I didn't do
But I can understand the reasons why you think that I should
Yeah I'm white but I never put your neck in no [Gm] noose
And I never burnt your cross or hit my face with a [Dm] hood
You can't just label me racist cause I'm related to people
Who did some terrible s*** way back before I was alive
My parents brought me up to treat everyone as [Gm] an equal
I refuse to feel ashamed cause of my pretty blue [Dm] eyes
The Nazis, white supremacists
Anyone who labels me as that because [Bb] of my family [Dm] genetics
The hatred for Caucasians is so [G] pathetic
Don't be proud that you're [E] black but don't hate me for some [Dm] credit
I'm not the white devil, neo-Nazi, cop trying to pull the trigger
You can call me what you want but I'd still never say
The white race as a whole ain't [G] the enemy
This race is white people but we're far from [Dm] that collectively
White boy, don't [Bb] say that
White boy, oh you so [F] bad
White boy, you wish you [Gm] were black
White boy, dear white [Dm] boy
White boy, white [Bb] noise
And you f***ing can't say it with my white [Dm] voice
White voice, white lies
Don't tell me how to see it through my white eyes
If a black man is sipping on some cognac sitting next to me
I don't assume that every black's favorite drink is Hennessy
I don't dislike Tanisha cause her first name [Gm] isn't Stephanie
Not only is that wrong but a f***ing [Dm] waste of energy
Ivory or Ebony, 45 or 17
We all bleed the same, Martin Luther King or Kennedy
They're angry I'm reciting the [Gm] facts
He's white and he raps, he stole the culture right from the [D] blacks
Okay he's fire but we lit the flame, he's siphoning gas
So f*** this corny little honky man, [Bb] the whitey's [Dm] whack
You letting history perpetuate the hatred within
And then you paint me with the brush you painted slave owners with
White boy, don't [Bb] say that
White boy, oh you so [Dm]
[F] bad
White boy, you wish you [Gm] were black
White boy, [Dm] dear white boy
White boy, white, [Bb] you know he's a f***ing
_ [F] White boy, _ white, implies
Don't tell me how to see it through [D] my white eyes
I got a mother, a father, a sister, an auntie, an uncle and a grandma
That I picture when [Bb] you're openly [Dm] hating
And God willing one day I'll have a kid of my [Gm] own
I refuse to let you blindly hate my wife or my [Dm] baby
So go ahead and hate [E] the racist, I pray for their [Dm] extinction
If you wanna hate the white [Bb] people just make the [Dm] distinction
Between the ones who want the best for everyone [Gm] regardless
And the ones who build the system just to smother you [Dm] with hardship
Stop before you say it, I know what [Bb] you've been thinking
How's a straight white male in 2018?
[F]
You're making me the villain by demonizing [G] my race
For things I didn't do and [Dm] decisions I didn't make
No one that I call a friend has ever [Bb] owned a slave
And neither did our dads or our dad's [F] dads
Saints acknowledging atrocities were wrongly [G] committed
It's all that I can offer when [Dm] I'm wrongly convicted
I would never hate a man for what God gave him in [Bb] pigments
And I would never plot against him just because he is [F] different
I would never judge a human for the cards he was [G] given
Or call him lesser than myself cause of [Dm] the race that he's mixed with
White people that you hate aren't your neighbors or [Bb] lawyers
[F] They're the [Bb] Rockefellers, Rothschilds, Bushes and [F] Royals
They're the people who monopolized the water and [G] oil
And injected your [D] communities with drugs so they spoiled
Got no patience for Nazis, I think they're better off [C] dead
Now fighting hatred with hatred making [Bb] the hate more [Am] intense
I don't want nothing to do with either side of the [D] fence
So don't blindly attack me for wearing braids on my head
Hate the people who believe you put yourselves in the [C] ghetto
Hate the ones who teach their children you [Bb] ain't f***ed as they [Am] said so
Hate the ones who [C] think you're all the same and judge you [D] profusely
Cause the way that you're portrayed on our news and in [Dm] movies
Being white and [D] being racist aren't the same man I [Bb] promise
Know it's hard to tell the difference if I'm just being [F] honest
I deserve the chance to show you I'm not part of the [N] problem
And you owe it to yourselves, we got so much in [Dm] common
White boy, don't [Bb] say that
White boy, oh [Dm] you so bad
White boy, you wish you were [Gm] black
White boy, feel like
[Dm]
White boy, white
[Bb] You know I say it f***ing [Gm] again
[F] Boys, white boys, white
Lies, [Dm] don't tell me how to see it through my white eyes
White boy, don't [Gm] say that
White boy, oh you so [Dm]
bad
White boy, you wish you [Bb] were black
White [G] boy, feel like
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
