[Intro: Viro the Virus]
Yeah
Based on a true story (uh huh)
The names have been changed, to protect the innocent. (uh haha)

[Verse 1: Viro the Virus]
In high school I knew this white dude
I think his name was Lou;
He swore he was smooth and have all the right moves
Wasn't wearing flannel and rockin' nirvana
Had guest jeans, "?" and swore that he liked woo
Bought new mixtapes by DJ Clue
They were the shit then and he had to be down too. (true)
He got a fade and shaved his sideburns up
Started riffin' with "?" cause she ain't like that stuff
In the mirror he would rehearse his b-boy stance;
Even had a verse to blurt if he ever got the chance
Started hangin' with the hood hero named Lance
And was part of the squad when they rode to the senior dance
See for him that was a glorious occasion
Cause out of the whole crew, Lou was the only Caucasian
And it felt good to him just to hang
And put to use all the time he'd practiced usin' slang
But things turned for the worst wouldn't you figure?
Could blame it on the herb, or you could blame it on the liquor
But, either or it was Lance and his boys
Who beat the shit outta Lou when he slipped and said "N***a" cause
[Chorus: Viro the Virus]
No matter what you wish it was
It is what it is. (it is what it is)
And no matter who you wish you were
You are who you are. (you are who you are)
No matter what you wish it was
It is what it is. (it is what it is)
And no matter who you wish you were
You are who you are. (I said, you are who you are)

[Verse 2: Viro the Virus]
In college I knew this kid named Wallace, and he was black;
But you couldn't tell by the way he act (Wait, you should explain that)
I know you can't act like a color, but if you knew him
You'd know that he ain't act like a brother
See his father was the only black man in his life and since the first trimester he was outta sight. (Who's your daddy?)
And that's not who wally wanted to be
So he idolized sitcom fathers on TV. (I see)
Wondered why his pop ain't have a PhD
And dough to leave behind for him when he D-I-E-D
So he's lacrosse team
Datin' white broad Christine frontin' like he a V.I.P. (haha)
Purchasin' fake stunner shades, of his minimum wage
Just to show Christy he's paid
Now he owes his mom a dub
That he borrowed just to take that hoe to the comedy club
Went from white buddies on a double date
To gain acceptance like Justin Timberlake
But he felt like a sucka, wouldn't you figure?
When Christy's friend Jimmy slipped and said the word "N***a" cause
[Chorus: Viro the Virus]
No matter what you wish it was
It is what it is. (ya, it is what it is)
And no matter who you wish you were
You are who you are. (I said, you are who you are)
No matter what you wish it was
It is what it is. (ya, it is what it is)
I said no matter who you wish you were
You are who you are. (uh, you are who you are)
"N***a"

[Outro: Viro the Virus]
So just be that, be yourself man
