White Niggas Songtext
von Jidenna

Jidenna!
Our people say, "Some men draw
A circle around themselves
Other men draw a circle
Around their family, hmm?
Then there are also men who have decided to

Draw their own circle
Around their kinsmen, their tribe"
Are you getting me? Hmm?
But the greatest men, like your uncle
We draw our circle around the
Circumference of the entire world


Say if you and your wife, Madeline
Were treated just like mine
All the anchors on ABC Nightline
Would speak about white crime
We′d see videos every night
Of handcuffed white boys in the night time
Hope you know how to fight crime
911's no longer your life line
That′s a ticket to a cell
White nigga I wish you well

Remember never kiss and tell
Or take a sip from the snitching well
And you will miss the Zinfandel
The lawns and picket fences
Soccer moms and christmas presents
Goodbye to Martha's Vineyard
You in a rougher spot here
Reflect on how you got there
The law had you in crosshair
Stop and frisk your kids playing
Street hockey in lacrosse gear


Son was barely even selling
But when he returns the whole suburb
Would brand him as a felon
Can't get no job, he can′t vote
Family name′s ashamed
Though he was targeted
We force him to take the blame
As all the blacks just walk past with their yoga mats
Eating their kale like all's well in the cul-de-sac

White nigga (white nigga)
White nigga (white nigga)
White nigga (white nigga)
White nigga, white nigga (white nigga)

Bribes and quotas driving the soldiers to harass ′em
Last week of the month, they seeking the young
Sweeping them up in the wagon
And in the subway, everyday
White girls arrested at random
Cops looking for pills
Mother be poppin' so many she never gaggin′
Her life is lagging, wifey has been quite antagonistic
Titties saggin', kids are naggin′
Acting like some bitches

Do some dishes or something
Husband used to do them, yeah
But he's rarely there
Got various business affairs
Busy with affairs
And she's got her would be career
Percocets are near, some dry gin or Vicodin
She could have predicted that the Feds
Would come for her just like for him
But she was addicted

The biggest fiends today are white women
Middle aged, middle class as you know
′Twas the same when they blazed opium back in Jim Crow
Okie doke, smokie smoke
And she need that dopie dope, just to cope
But they′d rather see her in those orange clothes
Where's the hope, for the

White nigga (white nigga)
White nigga (white nigga)
White nigga (white nigga)
White nigga, white nigga (white nigga)

They found you out
They surround your house
They caught you while you were knocked
Down for the count
And now they coming for ya
Make sure you hide your daughter
Her skin is light, her eyes are bluer
Plus her hair is blonder
They known for killing those children
And they′ll just get acquitted

Claiming the girl is armed
Though they know damn well she isn't
That′s why some girls are picking up the heat
And that leads to all the white-on-white
Crime flooding the streets
Suddenly there's a-

"Columbia Police search warrant!
Columbia Police search warrant!"
"Kick it open"

They kick in the door
Knocking over your golf clubs
Poppin′ your dog up in the mug
Spilling your Napa Valley
Wine all over all your Persian rugs
Now her blood is boiling
They rush her while she flushing
All her drugs down the toilet

White bitches (white nigga)
White bitches (white nigga)
White niggas, (white nigga)
White niggas, white niggas (white nigga)

What is happening?
Search warrant!
I've got a search warrant don't move
Don′t scearch, I don′t care
Fuck! Why it gotta be like this?
Let go of my dogs, nice dogs
Did you shoot? Did you shoot my dog?
You shoot my fucking dog! Oh my God
