Rachel Green - Reks

Rachel Green, Rachel Green, it’s a privileged thing

I know it’s well you mean, that don’t change anything

By any means you don’t get your way, you gon' yell a bit

Have a fit, wish you was Jane Elliott

You not the cause, but you reapin' the rewards

Of your forefathers' wars forefathers lost

Hit you with this pen 'cause it’s mightier than swords

I don’t wanna catch a case, stay away, stay away

Rachel Green

Yeah, yo

The psychology is why I watch this Friends shit

Had so many late-night European friendships

Date night was paint night, outsiders they might

See Rachel on my arm, be alarmed, 'cause her skin light

I caught the glances, th stances, associations, advancements of colored people

See you as the Panther’s enemy, no energy I’m givin' to division

My queen, she isn’t Rachel, she represents women of many shades

Her DNA’s a blend of master of slaves

And she don’t receive them privileged ways

Appropriation with the slang, and her braids

Educated from «Get Out», «Us», and black Twitter craze

You be mimickin' lips, eyes, and thighs, love the dick size

Hate the credit score, sex so wet, the more I’ve

Come to realize you could utilize lives they say matter, take a knee

No proposal, but rather no anthem, no star-spangled banner

No jungle fever, plans of parenthood, no Margaret Singer

She lingle in the front of the line, do you mind

Scoochin' over, take your ass to the back, we here with Rosa

Rachel Green, Rachel Green, it’s a privileged thing

I know it’s well you mean, that don’t change anything

By any means you don’t get your way, you gon' yell a bit

Have a fit, wish you was Jane Elliott

You not the cause, but you reapin' the rewards

Of your forefathers' wars forefathers lost

Hit you with this pen 'cause it’s mightier than swords

I don’t wanna catch a case, stay away, stay away

Rachel Green

Affirmative, you take action, 9−1-1, please come

This black man with two white kids, I’m

Just concerned, perform citizen duty gladly

How dare you venture here, dear sincerely permed patty?

I’m sure your daddy cosigns most times, so kind

You ever heard of bank red lines, rode the red line

Clutched your purse, fuck your money, gettin' paid with this verse

Livin' single before Central Perk

Poppin' percs, get the perks, years later from free labor

EBT later, she a black single mother hater

You take offense, I’m convinced this about you

Find a mirror, see clearer what you doubt true

Rachel Green simply means you prioritize over other lives

You pretend not to realize

Close your eyes, blindfold to the world’s ill

Pissed at cashier, she can’t break a hundred bill

Those couple coins for the homeless don’t cut it either

#MeToo if you a privileged believer

Opportunity receiver, keep your funds tucked

Singin' the Friends theme song, this idea comes up

RACHEL: Guess what?

ROSS: You got a job?

RACHEL: Are you kidding?

I’m trained for nothing.

Why does everything happen to

me?

There’s no gene for racism, there’s no gene for bigotry.

You’re not born a

bigot, you have to learn to be a bigot.

Anything you learn you can unlearn.

It’s time to unlearn our bigotry.

It’s time to get over this thing,

and we best get over it pretty soon.

I’m an educator, and it’s my business as

an educator to lead people out of ignorance.

The ignorance of thinking that

you’re better or worse than someone else because of the amount of pigment in

your skin
