[Verse 1]
When do I get my white privilege card?
I been askin' in the dark, I been playin' it hard
Mama said, boy, keep your head up straight
But the world keep slammatin' that iron gate
I don't know, maybe I ain't built to shine
Maybe I been missin' the sign all this time
Maybe I'm just tired, maybe I'm just bent
Maybe all that pressure made my spirit dent
[Pre-Chorus]
I been lookin' in the glass
For a face that fit the pass
But the line keep movin' on
And the night keeps draggin' long
[Chorus]
When do I get it?
When do I get it?
When do I get my card?
When do I get it?
When do I get it?
I been fightin' from the start
[Verse 2]
Purple bruises on my pride, dirt on my shoes
Came up rough, had to learn how to lose
Folks talk slick when they think you ain't near
Smile in your face, then they disappear
I kept countin' all the doors I hit
Kept askin' why they don't open quick
So I spit this pain in a verse like steel
If I ain't got the card, I got something real
[Pre-Chorus]
I been lookin' in the glass
For a face that fit the pass
But the line keep movin' on
And the night keeps draggin' long
[Chorus]
When do I get it?
When do I get it?
When do I get my card?
When do I get it?
When do I get it?
I been fightin' from the start
[Bridge]
Maybe the game been rigged too long
Maybe the shame don't mean I'm wrong
I ain't less just 'cause they said so
I got my name, and I won't let go
[Final Chorus]
When do I get it?
When do I get it?
When do I get my card?
When do I get it?
When do I get it?
I been fightin' from the start
