White America by Eminem
Lyrics & Translation
English
America, we love you
How many people are proud to be citizens of this beautiful country of ours
The stripes and the stars for the rights that men have died for to protect the women and men who have broke their necks for the freedom of speech the United States Government has sworn to uphold
(Yo', I want everybody to listen to the words of this song) or so we're told
I never would've dreamed in a million years I'd see
So many motherfuckin' people who feel like me
Who share the same views and the same exact beliefs
It's like a fuckin' army marchin' in back of me
So many lives I touched, so much anger aimed
In no particular direction, just sprays and sprays
And straight through your radio waves it plays and plays
'Til it stays stuck in your head for days and days
Who would've thought, standing in this mirror bleachin' my hair
With some peroxide reaching for a T-shirt to wear
That I would catapult to the forefront of rap like this?
How could I predict my words would have an impact like this?
I must've struck a chord, with somebody up in the office
Cause Congress keeps telling me I ain't causin' nothin' but problems
And now they're sayin' I'm in trouble with the government
I'm lovin' it
I shoveled shit all my life
And now I'm dumping it on
White America, I could be one of your kids
White America, little Eric looks just like this
White America, Erica loves my shit
I go to TRL, look how many hugs I get
White America, I could be one of your kids
White America, little Eric looks just like this
White America, Erica loves my shit
I go to TRL, look how many hugs I get
Look at these eyes, baby blue, baby just like yourself
If they were brown, Shady lose, Shady sits on the shelf
But Shady's cute, Shady knew, Shady's dimples would help
Make ladies swoon, baby—ooh, baby!—look at my sales
Let's do the math, if I was black, I would've sold half, I
Ain't have to graduate from Lincoln High School to know that
But I could rap, so fuck school, I'm too cool to go back
Gimme the mic, show me where the fuckin' studio's at
When I was underground, no one gave a fuck I was white
No labels wanted to sign me, almost gave up, I was like
"Fuck it!" until I met Dre, the only one to look past
Gave me a chance, and I lit a fire up under his ass
Helped him get back to the top, every fan black that I got
Was probably his in exchange for every white fan that he's got
Like damn, we just swapped, sittin' back lookin' at shit, wow
I'm like my skin is just starting to work to my benefit now
It's
White America, I could be one of your kids
White America, little Eric looks just like this
White America, Erica loves my shit
I go to TRL, look how many hugs I get
White America, I could be one of your kids
White America, little Eric looks just like this
White America, Erica loves my shit
I go to TRL, look how many hugs I get
See the problem is I speak to suburban kids
Who otherwise would've never knew these words exist
Whose moms probably would've never gave two squirts of piss
'Til I created so much motherfuckin' turbulence
Straight out the tube right into your living rooms I came
And kids flipped when they knew I was produced by Dre
That's all it took, and they were instantly hooked right in
And they connected with me too because I looked like them
That's why they put my lyrics up under this microscope
Searchin' with a fine tooth comb, it's like this rope
Waitin' to choke
Tightening around my throat
Watching me while I write this
Like I don't like this
Nope
All I hear is lyrics, lyrics, constant controversy
Sponsors working 'round the clock to try to stop my concerts early
Surely hip-hop was never a problem
In Harlem
Only in Boston
After it bothered the fathers of daughters starting to blossom
So now I'm catchin' the flak
From these activists when they raggin'
Actin' like I'm the first rapper
To smack a bitch, or say "faggot"
Shit, just look at me like I'm your closest pal
The posterchild
The motherfuckin' spokesman now for
White America, I could be one of your kids
White America, little Eric looks just like this
White America, Erica loves my shit
I go to TRL, look how many hugs I get
White America, I could be one of your kids
White America, little Eric looks just like this
White America, Erica loves my shit
I go to TRL, look how many hugs I get
So to the parents of America
I am the Derringer aimed at little Erica
To attack her character
The ringleader of this circus of worthless pawns
Sent to lead the march right up to the steps of congress
And piss on the lawns of the White House
To burn the flag and replace it with a Parental Advisory sticker
To spit liquor
In the faces of in this democracy of hypocrisy
Fuck you, Ms. Cheney
Fuck you, Tipper Gore
Fuck you with the freest of speech this Divided States of Embarrassment will allow me to have
Fuck you
I'm just playin', America, you know, I love you

White America (traducción LyricVerse Team)
América, te amamos
Cuánta gente está orgullosa de ser ciudadana de este hermoso país nuestro
Las barras y las estrellas por los derechos por los que hombres han muerto para proteger a las mujeres y hombres que se han roto el cuello por la libertad de expresión que el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos ha jurado defender
(¡Yo', quiero que todos escuchen las palabras de esta canción) o eso nos dicen
Nunca hubiera soñado en un millón de años que vería
Tanta gente de mierda que se siente como yo
Que comparten las mismas opiniones y las mismas creencias exactas
Es como un puto ejército marchando detrás de mí
Tantas vidas que toqué, tanta ira dirigida
Sin dirección particular, solo rocía y rocía
Y directamente a través de tus ondas de radio suena y suena
Hasta que se queda atascado en tu cabeza por días y días
¿Quién hubiera pensado, parado frente a este espejo decolorándome el pelo
Con un poco de peróxido buscando una camiseta para ponerme
Que me catapultaría a la vanguardia del rap así?
¿Cómo podría predecir que mis palabras tendrían un impacto así?
Debí tocar una fibra sensible, con alguien en la oficina
Porque el Congreso sigue diciéndome que no causo más que problemas
Y ahora dicen que estoy en problemas con el gobierno
Me encanta
He paleado mierda toda mi vida
Y ahora la estoy volcando sobre
América Blanca, podría ser uno de tus hijos
América Blanca, el pequeño Eric se ve así
América Blanca, a Erica le encanta mi mierda
Voy a TRL, mira cuántos abrazos recibo
América Blanca, podría ser uno de tus hijos
América Blanca, el pequeño Eric se ve así
América Blanca, a Erica le encanta mi mierda
Voy a TRL, mira cuántos abrazos recibo
Mira estos ojos, azul bebé, bebé, justo como tú
Si fueran marrones, Shady pierde, Shady se queda en la estantería
Pero Shady es lindo, Shady sabía, los hoyuelos de Shady ayudarían
A hacer que las damas se desmayen, bebé—¡oh, bebé!—mira mis ventas
Hagamos las cuentas, si fuera negro, habría vendido la mitad, yo
No tuve que graduarme de la Lincoln High School para saber eso
Pero podía rapear, así que a la mierda la escuela, soy demasiado genial para volver
Dame el micrófono, muéstrame dónde está el puto estudio
Cuando estaba en el underground, a nadie le importaba una mierda que fuera blanco
Ningún sello quería firmarme, casi me rindo, yo estaba como
“¡A la mierda!” hasta que conocí a Dre, el único que vio más allá
Me dio una oportunidad, y le encendí un fuego bajo el culo
Le ayudé a volver a la cima, cada fan negro que conseguí
Probablemente era suyo a cambio de cada fan blanco que él tiene
Como, joder, acabamos de intercambiar, sentado mirando la mierda, wow
Es como si mi piel estuviera empezando a funcionar a mi favor ahora
Es
América Blanca, podría ser uno de tus hijos
América Blanca, el pequeño Eric se ve así
América Blanca, a Erica le encanta mi mierda
Voy a TRL, mira cuántos abrazos recibo
América Blanca, podría ser uno de tus hijos
América Blanca, el pequeño Eric se ve así
América Blanca, a Erica le encanta mi mierda
Voy a TRL, mira cuántos abrazos recibo
El problema es que hablo con chicos suburbanos
Quienes de otra manera nunca hubieran sabido que estas palabras existen
Cuyas madres probablemente nunca hubieran dado dos chorros de orina
Hasta que creé tanta puta turbulencia
Directo de la pantalla a sus salas de estar llegué
Y los chicos enloquecieron cuando supieron que fui producido por Dre
Eso fue todo, y se engancharon al instante
Y también conectaron conmigo porque me parecía a ellos
Por eso ponen mis letras bajo este microscopio
Buscando con un peine fino, es como esta cuerda
Esperando para estrangular
Apretándose alrededor de mi garganta
Mirándome mientras escribo esto
Como si no me gustara esto
No
Todo lo que escucho son letras, letras, controversia constante
Patrocinadores trabajando sin descanso para intentar detener mis conciertos antes de tiempo
Seguramente el hip-hop nunca fue un problema
En Harlem
Solo en Boston
Después de que molestó a los padres de hijas que empezaban a florecer
Así que ahora estoy recibiendo las críticas
De estos activistas cuando se quejan
Actuando como si fuera el primer rapero
En golpear a una perra, o decir “maricón”
Mierda, solo mírame como si fuera tu amigo más cercano
El niño del cartel
El puto portavoz ahora para
América Blanca, podría ser uno de tus hijos
América Blanca, el pequeño Eric se ve así
América Blanca, a Erica le encanta mi mierda
Voy a TRL, mira cuántos abrazos recibo
América Blanca, podría ser uno de tus hijos
América Blanca, el pequeño Eric se ve así
América Blanca, a Erica le encanta mi mierda
Voy a TRL, mira cuántos abrazos recibo
Así que a los padres de América
Soy el Derringer apuntando a la pequeña Erica
Para atacar su carácter
El cabecilla de este circo de peones inútiles
Enviado a liderar la marcha hasta los escalones del congreso
Y orinar en los jardines de la Casa Blanca
Para quemar la bandera y reemplazarla con una pegatina de Parental Advisory
Para escupir licor
En las caras de en esta democracia de hipocresía
Que te jodan, Sra. Cheney
Que te jodan, Tipper Gore
Que te jodan con la más libre de las expresiones que estos Estados Divididos de la Vergüenza me permitirán tener
Que te jodan
Solo estoy bromeando, América, sabes, te amo
