Extremely rare funk single by James Tan and The J.T.'s. James wrote this song about his experience as one of the only successful Tuskegee experiment test subjects. At that time they had been testing an early form of Viagra on James which caused him to suffer a recurring side affect that he called "erection blackouts". During one of these blackouts that lasted an alleged "three minutes and fitty seconds" James claims to have died and become a ghost for an entire day.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Things are nice in the after life
Everything looks so clear and bright
We all become ghosts after we die
Every ghost is the same color white

[Chorus 1]
Everyone I meet is so polite
I really f*cking love being white
I don't care if you call me r*cist
Being white is the f*cking greatest

[Verse 2]
I was expecting some redneck sh*t
I thought all whites were suprem*cists
But all I see is white excellence
You should never feel white guilt for it

[Chorus 2]
Everyone I meet is so polite
I really f*cking love being white
I don't care if you call me r*cist
Being white is the f*cking greatest

[Bridge]
There's no more crime and no more fights
I like it here in the after life
But if I ever get sent back
I pray I don't come back black (Awe sh*t!)

[Verse 3]
We are all sisters and brothers
But ghosts only come in one color
Now that I'm white I have to admit
Being white is the f*cking sh*t (WOO!)

[Chorus 3]
Everyone I meet is so polite
I really f*cking love being white
I don't care if you call me r*cist
Being white is the f*cking greatest

[End Outro]
Oh f*ck yeah
