- Guilty Of Being White Lyrics / with translationsI'm sorry. For something I didn't do. Lynched somebody but I don't know who.
You blame me for slavery. A hundred years before I was born.
(Chorus)
Guilty of being white.
I'm a convict of a racist crime. I've only served 19 years of my time.
(Chorus)
You blame me for slavery. A hundred years before I was born.
(Chorus)
Guilty of being white.
I'm a convict of a racist crime. I've only served 19 years of my time.
(Chorus)
