American Privilege Lyrics


Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
(Robbing Peter to pay Paul
Cash that paycheck, spend it all)VERSE 1
Oh, it doesn't seem right
That I, I was born White
And my parents don't fight
Told me they loved me each night
I , I don't lose sleep
For the kids sewing my sheets
Or the ones stitching my sneaks
As long as I can buy 'em both cheap, wellCHORUS 1

American privilege
Is blurring my vision
Inherited sickness
American privilege
Is blurring my vision
Inherited sicknessVERSE 2
Everyday I piss money away
I'm a material slave
Just trying to polish this ball and this chain
Cause I, I dont think twice, no
Just keep it outta my sight, oh
Bitch, don't kill my vibe, no
Bitch, don't kill my vibe, wellCHORUS 2
American privilege
Keeps blurring my vision
Inherited sickness
American privilege
Keeps blurring my vision
Inherited sicknessBRIDGE
Robbing Peter to pay Paul
Cash that paycheck, spend it all
Build that house up big and tall
Robbing Peter to pay Paul(Robbing Peter to pay Paul)
As long as I stay comfortable
(Cash that paycheck, spend it all)
On shit I'll throw away next fall
(Build that house up, big and tall)
Break the bank to build the wall
(Robbing Peter to pay Paul)
As long as I stay comfortableCHORUS 2

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

From backwoods barbecues and community gatherings; Allen Stone emerges to share personal melodies, telling his tales of life after just 24 years. Getting his start singing at his father's church in small-town America; it wasn't until later when introduced to the greats of soul music (Marvin Gaye,Aretha Franklin) and then to the confessional lyrical fashion of the 60's -70's singer/ songwriters, did music begin to ignite intense passion, eventually carrying this boy to a musical home.
