Perspective (Skit) lyrics - Royce Da 5'9"

[Eminem:]

But you've got people of all races coming together and tryna 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 waht color you are, what nationality you are"

And it's what you do with it, right

To make a difference

To make a difference

To make a-

To make a difference
