Darius Rucker Parody
All White
(parody of Darius Rucker's "Alright")
All white, all white,
Yeah, it's all white, all white
Don't take a Sherlock observation
To see the difference that's so well defined
My workplace lacks diversity
Been like that, don't ya know, since the days of Patsy Cline
You can throw a dart and hit the same skin tone
Sometimes it makes a brother feel mighty alone
Cause I've got some shade here in my skin,
But the industry that I'm workin' in
Oh, it's all white, all white
Now I've got boots under my feet
And the whole music chart except for me
It's all white, all white
Just check out CMT
Yeah, it's all white but me
It's no big deal, no, to me it ain't no drama
That I'm an anomaly yes it's true
If not for Charley, I'd be Obama
But the bigs have pride in me as long as I pay dues
Now that I'm well on my way to being a star
I wish Coe'd stop telling me to park his car
Oh, I've got some shade here in my skin,
But the industry that I'm workin' in
Oh, it's all white, all white
Well I've got boots under my feet
And the whole music chart except for me
It's all white, all white
Just check out GAC
Yeah, it's all white but me
It's all white but me, yeah yeah
When I look out at crowds there's just one thing missin'
Nobody in the audience can dance in rhythm
Oh, I've got a whole bunch of melanin,
But the industry that I'm workin' in
Oh, it's all white, all white
Well I've got boots under my feet
And the whole CMA show but me
It's all white, all white
Check out Walmart CDs
Yeah, they're all white but me
R.I.P. MJ
Michael Jackson's "Thriller" was the first album I ever owned. Loved it. Still do. I'm gonna do my best to remember him for stuff like that. Farewell to a genius performer and creator of great pop music, regardless of the negatives that went along with him.
