lirik lagu the 338g student - brechtifying admissions: i'm not racist
charlie
i’m not racist
but saying that your skin color helped you get into yale just isn’t a bold statement
i don’t think being black helps you in most cases
but getting into schools? man they’ll put you on the a~list
i’m not racist
and i don’t have white pride
but it’s clear to me there’s something all these schools are tryna hide
they think they fixed slavery, now something we deny
is that we used to read the catcher in the rye?
you know what’s wack
cristobal can walk around like she’s all that
but her ancestors colonized to get her where she’s at
and we all know that that’s a fact
and look, when she applies to school
you know she’s gonna get into the good pile too
but pricilla chen applies, and she gets screwed
be real, man, don’t you think that’s kinda rude?
because it’s not about appearances
it’s not about looks
it’s not about if you did or didn’t read the books
it’s about quotas, and brochures, and promoting their lie
and if you aren’t black then you probably shouldn’t try
remember when we toured?
we went to all the colleges that we could afford
standing with your mom was rough, without dad you aren’t black enough
and honestly i’ve had enough but i keep score
i’m not racist
just because you’re a quarter~black
doesn’t mean you’re less likely to be a quarterback
and just because my mom’s family died by n~z~s
means i’m going out to eat, and asking for my quarter back
i did everything right, and i’m still wrong
can you imagine what it’d be like if you were singing my song
i checked all the right boxes, still didn’t get into yale
you don’t know what it’s like to do everything right and fail
perry
“i’m not racist”, i can’t believe what i’m hearing
charlie what you’re saying, to me has no bearing
and i’m not gonna let some sorta privileged ass kid who got everything he wanted tell me what unfair is
but then again, what do i know
it’s not like life gets harder the more that time goes
it’s not like if i’m put up for position i’ll be kneeling down and wishing that i just looked less like todd bowles
ask my dad the truth
they said we took a chance on bill and we passed on you
i lacked experience, but they like his attitude
but really, man, whatchu think my dad’s to do?
this sh~t is rigged man, but it’s rigged in your favor
we get stairs to success, and you get an escalator
but a black kid gets in, and a white doesn’t win, and i know we were friends, but now you’re acting like a hater
you really wanna talk about that college trip
i’m not full of sh~t, i noticed when
they looked at me more with dad than mom
how you think that’ll go when they’re both gone
when i’m sitting on campus
and i don’t know the answers
and everyone is wondering why i got in over francis
they think they know and so do you
which is why i’ll never let you know the truth
about whether or not i checked the box that says black
could charlie luther mason really handle that?
