Compton, New York West side, East side Nope. Just a white girl from Mississippi, Nah, it's not a joke. My true self, my true words, my true pain. The world shouldn't have to cope. The world shouldn't have to think it's alone. Cause I'm with you, Oh, I'm with you. All that hate that you own. I used to feel some too, but the kind that you evoke? All that racism that makes you choke. I'm with you, but you don't have to cope. Before you let counterproductive words slip from your mouth, take a minute to think of me. Don't let our fight go South. I will make a pact from my soul to yours, I will not let them make racism into another "war".

Dearest Big White People,
Compton, New York West side, East side Nope. Just a white girl from Mississippi, Nah, it's not a joke. My true self, my true words, my true pain. The world shouldn't have to cope. The world shouldn't have to think it's alone. Cause I'm with you, Oh, I'm with you. All that hate that you own. I used to feel some too, but the kind that you evoke? All that racism that makes you choke. I'm with you, but you don't have to cope. Before you let counterproductive words slip from your mouth, take a minute to think of me. Don't let our fight go South. I will make a pact from my soul to yours, I will not let them make racism into another "war".
For more than just the rich coincidentally white ******** that rule our country. For everyone. We're all accountable.
