I woke up white today
And everything went right today
I woke up white today and everything was a ok
I woke up Caucasian
Had a realization
I should take advantage
Of this fucked up situation
I walk up in a store
i don't get hard looks no more
I'll go rob a bank real fast
And surely they'll blame your
Black Ass
Black Ass
Black Ass
Black Ass
I woke up white today and everything went right today
Everyone said hi to me cause I exude excellency
I'm starched and yuppified no way I make you terrified
I'ma go electric slide my way up to the upper
East Side
East Side
East Side
East Side
I'm the embodiment of a fine upstanding citizen
And the cops just drive on by even though I'm super high
I know black folks real well cause I watch me some Dave Chapelle
In a fancy restaurant they don't assume I want
Chicken
Chicken
Chicken
Chicken
Hey hey i woke up white today
Woke up white today
I woke up white today and everything went right today
i woke up white today and everything was a ok
I woke up caucasian had a realization
I should take advantage of this fucked up situation
Woke up white today
