[00:01.000] 作曲 : Michael R. Jackson
[00:08.794]USHER: On days his blackness feels like another hurdle
[00:12.996]That won't get out of his way
[00:16.905]His inner white girl starts kicking like a baby
[00:20.830]She wants to come out and play
[00:24.749]She doesn't care if she ruffles any feathers
[00:28.968]In fact, that is her M.O
[00:32.880]Where he's the king of avoiding confrontation
[00:36.812]There's not a bomb she won't throw
[00:39.884]Because
[00:40.910]White girls can do anything, can't they?
[00:44.848]Black boys must always obey their mothers
[00:48.796]White girls can do anything, can't they?
[00:52.477]Can't they?
[00:53.269]Can't they?
[00:54.306]Can't they?
[00:56.935]Some days he feels like his blackness (is you) is a treasure (Is you)
[01:01.137]That's under constant attack
[01:02.972](H-h-h-h-h-h-hey)
[01:04.781]His inner white girl protects (is you) it from marauders (is you)
[01:08.713]She always takes up the slack
[01:10.799](H-h-h-h-h-h-hey)
[01:13.093]She lets him feel like a human supernova
[01:16.745]Like he could conquer the Earth
[01:20.939]Like he's the heir to the power and oppression
[01:24.862]Her kind have wielded since birth
[01:27.729]Because
[01:28.777]USHER & CAST: White girls can do anything, can't they?
[01:32.704]Black boys must always obey their mothers
[01:36.917]White girls can do anything, can't they?
[01:40.307]Can't they?
[01:41.348]Can't they?
[01:42.563]Can't they?
[01:43.526]USHER: They get to be cool, tall, vulnerable, and luscious
[01:47.469]They get to be wild and unwise
[01:51.411]They get to be shy and introspective
[01:55.324]They get to make noise
[01:56.891]They get to mesmerize
[01:58.696]Black boys don't get be cool, tall, vulnerable, and luscious
[02:03.399]Don't get to be wild and unwise
[02:07.336]Don't get to be shy and introspective
[02:11.287]Don't get to make noise
[02:12.862]Don't get to fantasize
[02:23.009]His blackness doesn't look blue in any moonlight
[02:26.929]Which makes him harder to see
[02:30.867]That's why he clings to his silly inner white girl
[02:34.828]The same one clinging to me
[02:37.447]We wanna be free
[02:39.256]We wanna belong
[02:41.549]We wanna unearned love or validation
[02:44.698]But neither come easily
[02:47.306]So her siren song
[02:49.676]Keeps us in total subjugation
[02:52.547](Total subjugation!)
[02:54.080]We want to be cool, tall, vulnerable and luscious (White girls can do anything, can't they?)
[02:57.433]We want to be wild and unwise (Black boys must always obey their mothers)
[03:01.366]We want to be shy and introspective (White girls can do anything, can't they?)
[03:05.316]We want to make noise, we wanna mesmerize (Can't they, can't they, can't they?)
[03:09.444]Why can't we be cool, tall, vulnerable and luscious? (White girls can do anything, can't they?)
[03:13.350]Why can't we express in our own way? (Can't they, can't they, can't they?)
[03:17.528]Why can't we unleash what's locked inside us?
[03:21.211]Who made up these rules black boys must always obey?
