lyrics

I woke up white today and everything went right today/ I woke up white today and everything was a ok
I woke up Caucasian/ I had a realization/ I should take advantage of this fucked up situation
I walked up in a store and I don’t get hard looks no more
I’ll go rob a bank real fast and surely they’ll blame your 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 may go electric slide my way up to the Upper East Side

I’m the embodiment of a fine upstanding citizen/And the cops just drive on by even though I super high
I know Black folks real well ‘cause I watch me some Dave Chapelle
In a fancy restaurant they don’t assume that I want chicken

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
