White america lyrics

[Kangol]

"every fan black that I got, was probably his in
Exchange for every white fan that he's got, like damn, we just swapped, sittin' back lookin' at
Shit, wow, I'm like my skin is it starting to work to my benefit now,"

Why does Em say "fan black" when he could have just said black fan?

the only reason i could think of is was referencing the "swapping"

random thread but it always bothers me when i listen to it

[Mr Change]

I'm guessing he didn't like how he would've said black fan in one sentence and in the very next say white fan. Sounds sort of repetitive

[yoda you can call me]

Yes, both "swapped" and repetitive

[Brainless BadGuy]

Probably so it rhymed better with the line before it
"Helped him get back to the top
Every fan black that I got"

[Norway kills]

It fits better into the rhyming scheme. "Black fan" would have ruined back to the top → black that I got → that he's got → damn we just swapped.

[Kangol]

It fits better into the rhyming scheme. "Black fan" would have ruined back to the top → black that I got → that he's got → damn we just swapped.

wouldnt it just be the same if he put it before/after tho?

[Brainless BadGuy]

I don't think it would really have affected the rhyme scheme really but hey, Marshall must've thought otherwise

[Steve Spag]

He said it like that because he knew we'd be talking about it now.

In all seriousness, it sounds better and fits the rhyme scheme better this way. Not hard to see.
