Yo, I got an idea, let me run and grab Sticky right quick
Ayo Sticky, Sticky
Yo, Slim Shady, man
Yo, I just had like a nightmare
Wait, well, it wasn't like a nightmare
It was like a good dream
Well, well it wasn't a good- (what was it?)
Yo, yo, I just had a crazy dream, man (what?)
Yo, yo, I dreamt I was white (oh shit)

If he was white
What if he was white?
What if he was white?
What if he was white?
What if he was white?
What if he was white, white, white, white (what if he was white?)
White, white, white, white, white? (Yo, yo)

What if I was white skin the same color as cocaine?
With blond hair, blue eyes, the whole shabang
I know one thing, police wouldn't always be watching me
Pull me over for nothing, constantly jockin' me
(Can I get your autograph?)
The yellow cabs in the city would stop for me (yo, taxi)
I wouldn't need collateral to buy property
If I was white, wouldn't matter if I was rich or poor
Security wouldn't follow me around the store (ah, what you got in your coat, buddy)
Like I'd steal something
Because I'm black I rob and automatically assume I ain't got no job
On my own land I feel like an immigrant
If I was white I wouldn't of thought O.J. Was innocent (he did it, he's black)

If I was white
What if he was white?
What if he was white? (Yo, think about that for a minute)
What if he was white, white, white, white
What if he was white?
What if he was white? (What if he was white?)
What if he was white?
White, white, white, white
White, white, white, white, white? (What if he was white?)

What if he was white? (What if he was white?)
What if he was white?
What if he was white?
What if you were white? (What if you were white?)
What if he was white, white, white, white (sticky what if you were white?)
White, white, white, white, white? (Yo, yo)

If I was white
It'd be a different world for me
If I was white (hmm?) What shade would I be?
Would I be redneck or skinhead, preppy or high class?
You'd probably live in a trailer park and be white trash
In any case that be the ill shit right? (Yup)
But there's a good and bad side of being white (what?)
You can't say the n word without startin' a fight (what's up my nigga?)
Couldn't dance to a beat, I'd have two left feet
Even if I was white, prolly still have a ghetto chick (how you doing?)
Is it a myth or would I really have a little dick (nah, it's true)
If I was white, I'd probably listen to hard rock
And cover my ears whenever I heard Hip Hop (ah)

If he was white
What if he was white?
What if he was white? (What if he was white?)
What if he was white (white, white, white, white, white)
What if he was white?
What if he was white, white, white, white
White, white, white, white, white? (What if he was white?)

What if he was white?
What if he was white?
What if he was white (white, white, white, white, white)
What if he was white? (Hmm, what if he was white?)
What if he was white, white, white, white (what if you were white?)
White, white, white, white, white? (Sticky, what if you were white?)

If I was white, I prolly wouldn't even think the same
I'd watch tennis and golf and bet on hockey games (fucking Red Wings, man)
Wear suit and ties and go to work every day (every day)
If I was white, I couldn't live around my way
And there probably would of never even been an Onyx, shit
I'd be somewhere sippin' Vodka and Tonics
Smokin' on a Marlboro instead of a Newport
I'd live in Long Island instead of New York (New York, New York)
If I was white, I probably couldn't dunk
'Cause everybody knows white man can't jump (nope)
And I probably wouldn't be able to go to the weed spot
'Cause all of the dreads would think I'm a cop

If he was white
What if he was white?
What if he was white? (Da-da-da-da-da)
What if he was white
What if he was white? (Yo, you can't say that)
What if he was white, white, white, white
White, white, white, white, white? (Yo)

What if he was white? (What if you were white?)
What if he was white?
What if he was white (what if he was white, white, white, white, white)
What if he was white?
What if he was white, white, white, white (what would you)
White, white, white, white, white? (What would you do if you was white?)

If he was white (if I was white)
What if he was white? (If I was white)
What if he was white? (What if I was white?)
(What would you do if you was white?)
What if he was white? (What if I was white?)
What if you were white? (What if I was white, white, white, white?)
White, white, white, white, white? (Sticky, what if you were white?)

White, white, white, white, white
What if he was white?
What if he was white? (White, white, white, white, white?)
What if he was white? (W-w-white)
What if he was white (w-w-white, white, white, white?)
What if he was white, white, white, white, white?
White, white, white, white, white

Yo, what if I was white? Ha

Yo, you goin' to that party later, man?
Hell yeah, man, I gotta go cop me some Mountain Gears first, dawg
(Yo, which color?) I don't know which colors, kid
I don't know which ones I'm coppin'
('Bout to get me some too) can't bite my style, dawg
Mountain Gear, the leader of the time that's sturdy footwear apparel
Worn by your favorite superstars
Get down with the MG, Mountain Gear
Yo, yo what the fuck you doin'? I'm watching this
What the fuck, man? (What do you mean, "What the fuck?")
I'm sick of this shit, man (you fucking don't bring any money in here)
What you-, I'm fucking trying (you fucking don't have a fucking job)
Motherfucker, (you're not fucking looking for a job)
I be out hustling every day, man (you fucking-)
I be hustling every day, what you talkin' 'bout?
(You have niggas coming over here all the fucking time) so what?
So what, man? This is fucking my house (the fucking baby's crying all the fucking time)
(Your fucking ass is gonna end up right back in jail) yo, you know what?
I'm not tryna hear this shit
(You don't fucking ever see your mother anymore) fuck you, man
Yo, why you worried about all my shit for?
(You the fucking reason why you're brother got killed) what?
(And, you're a sorry-ass, you need to be a fucking man) what the fuck did you say, bitch?
Fuck off, you ever-, fucking sick of your shit, man
You see? You see what the fuck you made me do? (Get out)
You never fucking learn, man, damn, man (I hate you)
Fucking sick of this house, man (all you do is hit on me)
Fucking hate you, man
Hate this house (fuck you, get out, get out)
