Copyright 2020 by Trevor Justice, SESAC
If you're like me, racism makes your heart heavy. You wish more white people understood the double standards that affect people of color.
I wrote this song to raise consciousness about white privilege and remind everyone that not all Americans have an equal shot. Let's be the change we want to see!

LYRICS BELOW - Copyright 2020 by Trevor Justice

You stop for me when I wave down your yellow cab
You hire me despite my blue hair
When I apply for a car loan or a mortgage
The rate and terms you give me are fair

You smile at me though I’m a stranger in a hoodie
Walking down your white picket street
You pay no mind as I roam your Old Navy
You let me pay with no ID

You barely raise an eyebrow
You give me the benefit of the doubt
And I don’t wonder why you do
‘Cause I am white like you

Though we're strangers you're at ease
You're not nervous in the least
Do you see the good in me
‘Cause I am white like you

You’re renting me that flat on 14th Ave
Though black marks on my credit show I’m late
And if you learn I’ve got a pistol in my glovebox
You're pretty sure I’m just staying safe (2nd amendment!)

You let me off when I am caught red handed
With two ounces of ganja in my pack (really nice of you!)
If I run that stop sign, you let me go
With just a warning, my self respect intact

You barely raise an eyebrow
You give me the benefit of the doubt
And I don’t wonder why you do
‘Cause I am white like you

If I mess up I get away
No big deal, no price to pay
I get lots of leeway
‘Cause I am white like you

But I were brown or black instead
Would you still trust me?
Or would you worry what I’m up to?

I worry too
When I notice darker skin
I wanna see the good within
But my bias kicks in
‘Cause I am white like you

While I praise equality
Color skews the way I see
So the change starts with me
‘Cause I am white, I am white like you
