Black

*Black* numerous times at start and behind the beat

To tell the truth man. Shit, we all grew up in the ghetto

Young black males, huh. Those black girls, hide and go get it

It was real in the hood. Niggaz kept it real. I mean, they did

It was only black. That's all we knew, shit. Ain't a damn thing change

Nigga proud to be one. Put that on anything

[Verse 1]

Don't make me have to get the black gloves and black ski mask

Anything a nigga have to do to get me cash

You know I wear a lot of blue

'Cause that's just what a nigga do

Tonight I got on so much *black* I look invisible

They say that all black man are criminals, dead orin jail

Well, I'm an angry, young, black individual

My daddy born *black*, my momma born *black*

Daddy was a mack and daddy ain't know how to act

But daddy had the black Cadillac, he had black slacks

Driving me to school, I used to toat the black backpack

And napsack, black raps in my mind I'm hearing it

I wrote about the only thing I knew, the black experience

Stick-ball, playing dice by the brick wall

Say bloody mary three times, that bitch will get yall

Street fights, being in before the street lights

Before I ever learned to freak a beat right

Nigga, I was *black*

[Chorus]

Don't be fuckin round with me 'cause I'll have you seeing *black*

Trying to get me for the chain, I'll make you faker *black*

There ain't nothing in my heart or in my soul 'cause it's *black*

I told you it's *black* 3X

Now every gram and collar green, nigga that's *black*

And plastic on a brand new sofa, that's *black*

Freeze pops, and double dutch and hot chips *black*

I'm trying to tell you big pimping, that's *black*

[Verse 2]

My momma told me, don't be on that

Terry, don't get sidetracked

Terry, you was born *black*, and you gon' die *black*

And you gon' always be black, and you gon' always know *black*

Even though, you the lightest motherfucker on the Kodak

But know that you should act black, knowing you should rap at

Know when to pull it

And when you should shake hands, and that's that

She said, you're *black*, so them coppers will harrass you

And them black choppers see who hiding in the grass too

She said being black is heaven in hell

But most black man either end up dead or in jail

She told me, you don't have to date *black*, and you don't have to marry it

But never ever hate *black*, be proud of it and carry it

And even when they put you in the dirt, they'll never burry it

And don't just have one approach son, you need to varry it

Before baseball, before basketball

Even when my casket fall

A nigga still *black*

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

Black way of thinking, I'm done with it, I'm through with it

Why they call it black male, fuck I have to do with it

I never knew they'd punk, every black crack one day

The stock market crashed, and they called it black Monday

*black* kids are ghetto, *black* cats are bad luck

Wear black at funerals, to me it doesn't add up

But I don't give a mad fuck, what you try and label me

I'm one black nigga getting paid from using ABC's

Black are less intelegent, rap is just irrelevant

And in most black neighborhoods, crack is just so prevalent

Disproportionately, I see black put up on death row

And not the one in Interscope either, where all the rest go

And it's still Ok to tell a little white lie

Cops pull over black kids, the black kid, he might die

But no matter what they say, how we destroy the world

I love these *black* boys and girls

A nigga's proud to be *black*
