But you've got people of all races like coming together
And helping shape this from the ground up
So now you got little white kids growin' up with black idols
And you got black kids growin' up with white idols
And you got- it's just this whole mixing pot
Nothing has brought more races and more people
From all different walks of life together than hip-hop
No music has done that
I don't think anything has done that as much as hip-hop has
So, in the same token, I can understand the frustration being that
You know, damn near every form of music, period
Was created by black people
So, you got Chuck Barry, you got Rosetta Tharp
And rock n' roll is starting to get some attention
But then along comes Elvis
And people are acting like, "Oh my God I've never seen this before"
You've seen it before
But you might not have seen a white person do it to this level
So now, he sells the most records and people
Are callin' him the king of rock n' roll right?
But, on the flip side of the coin
If I'm a black kid, growin' up in say the 60s, 70s, 80s, whatever right
And I'm lookin' at TV and nobody looks like me
And it's very stereotypical and I'm lookin' at fuckin'
I'm lookin' at toys and everything is white
The fuckin' action figures are all white
The fuckin' superheroes are all white
Like maybe there's one or two black superheroes mixed in there with mostly white
I don't know how I'd grow up and not have a chip on my shoulder
On the other flip side of that coin
We don't get to choose our parents
We don't get to choose what color we're born
It's more about- at that point it becomes "You're born here
You are what color you are, you are what nationality you are"
And then it's what you do with it, right

To make a difference
To make a difference
