American Privilege
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh, it doesn't seem right that I, I was born white
And my parents don't fight, told me they love me each night
I, I don't lose sleep for kids sewing my sheets
Or the ones stitching my sneaks, as long as I can buy 'em both cheap
American privilege, is blurring my vision, inherited sickness
American privilege, is blurring my vision, inherited sickness
Everyday I, piss money away, I'm a material slave
Just tryna polish this ball and this chain
Cause I, I don't think twice, just keep it out of my sight, oh
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)
(Robbing Peter to pay Paul)
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 wall
(Robbing Peter to pay Paul)
As long as I stay comfortable
(Robbing Peter to pay Paul)
American privilege, keeps blurring my vision, inherited sickness
American privilege, keeps blurring my vision, inherited sickness
