I don’t have a racist bone in my body But I’m called a racist anyway People tend to judge me By the things I say I’m a product of my environment You hear the “N” word eveyday So I understand their sentiment When their judgment comes into play
I don’t have a racist bone in my body But I’m called a racist anyway Cuz they don’t know my heart But they can hear what I say And sometimes it is offensive That much I will admit Why anyone close would tape me Is what I really don’t get
I don’t have a racist bone in my body But I’m called a racist anyway If it was your daughter’s boyfriend I wonder what you would say Now I’m not justifying The word I chose to use But let’s not pretend That I haven’t paid my dues
I don’t have a racist bone in my body But I’m called a racist anyway And I have an image to protect That I guess I’ve thrown away Now my adoring public Will no doubt make me pay So believe me when I say I’m sorry What else can I say
