I get followed in department stores Old ladies see me coming and they lock their doors They're thinking that I'm gonna try and rip them off But I don't have the slightest desires at all Police tell me that I look like sin They're checking my arms, there's nothing but skin Another cop footprint on my back Kind of hard for me to say "it was because I was black" Can't tell me I discriminate you You maybe hate me but I don't hate you Oppression isn't limited just to you Yeah, I'm a white boy and I'm oppressed too P.O.W P.O.W Hidden minority Who's the minority? Who gets priority? You do, no me, I'm a minority You got a voice, I got a voice You have spoken, my turn to speak mine I can see the hate, it's deep in your eyes
What happened to your kin-folk I can sympathize The white heathen took an upper hand But it didn't make him any better of a man I can understand your attitude I never been whipped but neither have you You've been oppressed by ignorant fools I'm a pissed-off white boy, I been oppressed too Who's the minority? Who gets priority? You do, no me, I'm a minority P.O.W P.O.W Hidden minority A courageous man once had a dream He had it cut short by a murderous fiend Inferiority was taught to me But in them same white circles I'm minority Who's a minority? Who's a minority? Who's a minority? It is you, is it me? Who's a minority? It is you, is it me? M.I.A Minority in action
