You Talk Like A White Girl Lyrics - Aisha - Aisha

Chorus: 

You talk 

Like a white girl 

Do you think 

That you're white, girl 

A line some drew in the sand 

Some will call you an Uncle Tom 

If you support Uncle Sam 

Verse 1: 

Ebonix or Hooked On Phonics 

Take your pick 

But they'll call you a city slicker or a hick 

Yea, I know I'm black 

But must every other word be homey or wack 

There was a time when slaves couldn't read or write 

But now you're sitting here telling me it's alright 

To talk like a clown 

To prove your down 

Speaking that gibberish to anyone around 

Some will see it as buffoonery 

An inarticulate form of cartoonery 

Your intellect will be hidden 

Beneath your words 

And when you speak 

You will not be heard 

Fraternized or patronized 

Until the day you realize 

Slang is fine 

But not all the time 

Repeat chorus 

Verse 2: 

Hey, what can I say 

I never felt comfortable speaking that way 

You brag that you're from the hood 

And how living there is supposed to be so good 

But you never hear anyone say 

I'm saving up to move to the ghetto one day 

Most people in the ghetto want something better out of life 

Rather than to be saddled with crime and strife 

You keep listening to rappers 

Telling you what black is 

When they've made millions and left the ghetto off the biz 

They're living in the suburbs that's mostly white 

But they're sitting there telling you "be real" and "dynomite" 

That's like telling an unmarried woman about your wedding day 

Or telling somebody on a diet about a buffet 

You ought to think about that 

Being black is not about the clothes on your back 

Its not about every other word being homey or wack 

Or walking with a swagger 

Or getting drunk until you stagger 

You're born black 

It's not something you acquire 

It's not about your words or your attire 

Repeat chorus twice
