We're more alike than you think
More alike than they want you to think
Church
[Verse 1]
Ayy, he too white, ayy, he too country
Why his truck look like shit but system steady thumpin’, homie?
Why he rappin' 'bout a dog, why he stuntin’ grandpa's truck?
Why he wear a hat like that with 28's like one of us?
Like, why, oh why, oh why, oh why is this a recurring issue?
Yeah, I rock them flannels, Bounty quicker pick you up a tissue
Rolling Stone, go check the issue, they hit my line for interviews
Sit with me in my backyard and learn they can't fight my mental
And you know why?
Because I'm an intelligent species, metaphorically throwin' feces
Followin' a trail of Reese's Pieces to a level the Devil can’t even see me
So when I reach the maximum I’m gonna need a case of Maxums, bruh
'Cause I’ma fuck the game up 'til it's the tops of skulls I'm pissin’ out of, haha
I'm Caucasian, but not a racist, not even on the whitest occasions
So bye-bye with Facebook blamin', it's your own fault if your vision's faded
I'm nothin' like what I'm put out to be, tryin' to be an icon ironically
A little old school way they call me IROC-Z, enough new age to be like, "Damn, he lit"
When you see me out on Instagram with a big AR on barren lands
Spittin' hot shit with a country accent, don't treat me like some guy in the Klan
And tell me that I'm stealin' from a culture when it's obvious I only know my own
Looks weird to you 'cause you wasn't raised around my zone, you want some smoke?
Then we can sit down smoke a joint and all talk about it
Ain't that from a diss song? Yeah, let me talk about it
Last year's beef brought new waves I'm surf boardin' that tsunami
Every color Looney Toon rollin' with me on some '90s shit, son, Toonami
Rugrats in the playpen, Tommy got the flat head
Reptar on the mic, I'm Chuckie stoned with the bed head
Cartoon Cobain, comin' as I wanna go
Howdy Doody when I wave, I'm cool with Andy Griffith, ho
So when you see me choppin' hard, bumpin' Jeezy from '05
Gun rack in the back, I'm tellin' you this country boy survive
I'm showin' you that I embrace the roots of all our roots because
That's how I was made, different roots brewed up in a cup
So take a drink of this product so organic it cleans your soul
I'm a dose of Kenny Chesney, 50 Cent and '90s born
Rollin' that blue grass in a blunt, who wanna smoke some?
I'm not here to be white or Black, I'm here to be creative, son, Church
[Outro]
You know the biggest white hip hop icon ever once said
"I am whatever you say I am
And if I wasn't, then why would I say I am?"
But you know what? I'm not lettin' people tell me what I am
And I don't even have to tell you what I am either
I just show what I am
My words transfer into actions
And more people should show who they are
And stop bein' what everybody wants you to be
