If I Was Black

If I was black, prolly wouldn't fuck with anyone who's white

'Cause that slavery shit would honestly always be on my mind

If I was black, prolly wouldn't ever wanna drive

'Cause if police pull me over, I might fuck around and die

If I was black, I won't lie, I'd be scared to walk at night

The whole neighborhood is trippin' like I'm out committin' crimes

I'd be pissed at all these cracker rappers singin' 'bout my life

Stole my music, stole my style, give it back, that shit is mine

If I was black, just look at the facts, we don't stand a chance

One in three is locked away, over half don't know they dad

See, white privilege ain't a money thing

But it's white people who are runnin' things

Y'all benefit from your colorin', my pigment produce sufferin'

It's all white pride, white power, white lies

White houses, white guys, white washin'

My brothers, my sisters, my culture, while I'm watchin'

If I was black I'd probably hate myself from shit they say

Racism made me racist and I am not the one to blame

Ayy, y'all won't say it to my face, in the circles you feel safe

Y'all been usin' words they made for us when we were slaves

Ayy, hey, wait, woah, I know that was long ago

If I was black I'd want my reparation money paid in full

If I was black I'd say fuck the police

I'd say fuck the whole Klan, I'd put holes in they sheets

If I was black I'd put gold on my teeth

So if you think I'm broke you would know when I speak

If I was black, it's my face on a tee

R.I.P. underneath or my name next to free

If I was black I would die in these streets

Just for speakin' my mind because I had a dream

If I was black

If I was black, prolly wouldn't ever do my taxes

Why support a government that persecute my blackness?

Or pay the wage of law enforcement puttin' us in caskets?

Or help to build the prisons that we trapped in?

If I was black I'd be mad, people glorify the trap

While we dyin' everyday fightin' for everything we have

It ain't diamond chains and racks, this the systematic plan

They put us the in the ghetto, gave us HIV and crack

If I was black I'd hate America, appropriate my character

And sell it to Caucasians who wish they were from my area

If I was black I wouldn't give a fuck about the greater good

My grandma can't afford her rent, y'all gentrified our neighborhood

All Lives Matter, so stupid, y'all hijackin' our movement

Black Lives Matter 'cause we losin' innocent youth to police shootin's

If I was black, the only role models I'm shown

Is the rich black rappers, pushin' guns and drugs and hoes

(Yeah)

Ayy, y'all won't say it to my face, in the circles you feel safe

Y'all been usin' words they made for us when we were slaves

Ayy, hey, wait, woah, I know that was long ago

If I was black I'd want my reparation money paid in full

If I was black I'd say fuck the police

I'd say fuck the whole Klan, I'd put holes in they sheets

If I was black I'd put gold on my teeth

So if you think I'm broke you would know when I speak

If I was black, it's my face on a tee

R.I.P underneath or my name next to free

If I was black I would die in these streets

Just for speakin' my mind because I had a dream

If I was black

You'd attack when I say it, I'm proud

'Cause you mad because you ain't allowed

(If I was black)

Y'all ever try to take me down

One fist in the air I would stand my ground

If I was black I'd say fuck the police

I'd say fuck the whole Klan, I'd put holes in they sheets

If I was black I'd put gold on my teeth

So if you think I'm broke you would know when I speak

If I was black, it's my face on a tee

R.I. p underneath or my name next to free

If I was black I would die in these streets

Just for speakin' my mind because I had a dream

If I was black
