Lyrics

Fun is temporary, blues is permanent You gotta give it up for the whites They like white blues but not blue blacks You gotta give it up for the whites Who thinks Vanilla Ice is better than Drake And doesn't think the Beastie Boys were laughable mistake Squirt the white icing on the black folks' cake You gotta give it up for the whites Hate strong spices, love strong cheese You gotta give it up for the whites Rescue you from slavery, swing you from the trees You gotta give it up for the whites You gotta give it up for the whites, my friend You gotta give it up for the whites Hate Destiny's Child but love The Three Degrees You gotta give it up for the whites For the whites For the whites Don't move that white trash, next door to me You gotta give it up for the whites I'm at home with Glenn Miller, Lord Lucan by the sea You gotta give it up for the whites Save up your excuses, find out which is best Flight 370 or Mary Celeste I've tried to phone the council but they can not move this past You gotta give it up for the whites Hate strong spices, love strong cheese You gotta give it up for the whites Rescue you from slavery, swing you from the trees You gotta give it up for the whites You gotta give it up for the whites, my friend You gotta give it up for the whites Hate Destiny's Child but love The Three Degrees You gotta give it up for the whites For the whites For the whites Do we wanna see your holiday photos? (No!) Como, 1976 Do we wanna see some pictures when you had long hair? (No!) On countless camping trips Do we want to talk for two hours or more Hedge trimmers, cameras, and boundary law Easy to hate, harder to ignore You gotta give it up for the whites You've gotta give it up for the whites Hate strong spices, love strong cheese You gotta give it up for the whites Rescue you from slavery, swing you from the trees You gotta give it up for the whites You gotta give it up for the whites, my friend You gotta give it up for the whites Hate Destiny's Child but love The Three Degrees You gotta give it up for the whites For the whites For the whites
