Текст песни Gotta Give It Up - Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott

Fun is temporary, blues is permanent
You gotta give it up for the whites
They like white blues but not blue blacks
You gotta give it up for the whites

Who thinks Vanilla Ice is better than Drake
And doesn′t think the Beastie Boys were laughable mistake
Squirt the white icing on the black folks' cake
You gotta give it up for the whites

Hate strong spices, love strong cheese
You gotta give it up for the whites
Rescue you from slavery, swing you from the trees
You gotta give it up for the whites
You gotta give it up for the whites, my friend
You gotta give it up for the whites
Hate Destiny′s Child but love The Three Degrees
You gotta give it up for the whites
For the whites
For the whites

Don't move that white trash, next door to me
You gotta give it up for the whites
I'm at home with Glenn Miller, Lord Lucan by the sea
You gotta give it up for the whites

Save up your excuses, find out which is best
Flight 370 or Mary Celeste
I′ve tried to phone the council but they can not move this past
You gotta give it up for the whites

Hate strong spices, love strong cheese
You gotta give it up for the whites
Rescue you from slavery, swing you from the trees
You gotta give it up for the whites
You gotta give it up for the whites, my friend
You gotta give it up for the whites
Hate Destiny′s Child but love The Three Degrees
You gotta give it up for the whites
For the whites
For the whites

Do we wanna see your holiday photos? (No!)
Como, 1976
Do we wanna see some pictures when you had long hair? (No!)
On countless camping trips

Do we want to talk for two hours or more
Hedge trimmers, cameras, and boundary law
Easy to hate, harder to ignore
You gotta give it up for the whites
You've gotta give it up for the whites

Hate strong spices, love strong cheese
You gotta give it up for the whites
Rescue you from slavery, swing you from the trees
You gotta give it up for the whites
You gotta give it up for the whites, my friend
You gotta give it up for the whites
Hate Destiny′s Child but love The Three Degrees
You gotta give it up for the whites
For the whites
For the whites
