[Verse 2]
[Em]Welcome to the [G]world of a
[A]kid named [G]Mikey
He who had [Em]only one [G]reason to be [A]hated,
[F]by whitey (by whitey)
[Em]Raised on a [G]farm out[A]side of
South [Em]Bend
Where they hated on him 'cause
he was [D]African [Dm]American

[Verse 3]
But [Em]three years later,
Mikey [A]was the town [G]pride
[Em]Basketball [G]Mikey went and
[D]got himself a [Dm]full ride

on the [A]hardwood floor
[G]And that's som[Em]ething white
