Lyrics We Are Darker Than Blu(e) - Blu

We Are Darker Than Blu(e)

I’m talkin' to you
(Who are darker then blue)
I’m talkin' to you
(blue)
I’m talkin' to you
I’m talkin' bout
It took people like Huey to move me
My life is like a movie real no films feel me?
The real me is black, like my African family tree
Blacker then the Black Panther party’s army
On me armed to the teeth with the beast all
Ready to catch heat from a G spark leaves
Lift up outer space black face picture us that deep
Black is the bottom of the black sea
Black is the reason why I am free
I am me a human being being more then all that I can be
Multiply more times most high majesty
Magic me John’s son as black as can be
High yellow Acapello afro actually
Nappy tree, lifted to the black above me
Buzz freeze for my ni**as, trust me
This is for my ni**as from the poorest to the richest that can be
Interlude
What if Malcolm X wasn’t dead?
And John F Kennedy wasn’t shot in the head?
And MLK was still living to this day
Do you think we would be living this way?
I think that John Lennon and Nat Turner would’ve packed burners
Peace for peace I keep a piece to keep peace
Six feet deep people rest in the piece they kept
Judas sold out, Jesus Wept
We breathe the breath of life through the wort times
Made it through the hurt for the first time
Ever since birth cryin', seen the Earth dyin'
Heard about the worst crimes
Dark nights personify when Black people unite
Under moonlight truths be told
If the blackness glowed it wouldn’t show another soul
So we share and we care for other folks
Truth be told
We used to cover up the whole globe
I’m talkin' bout'
Interlude
They tried to tell me Jesus Christ wasn’t Black
When Egyptian artifacts shows that the Persian army was Black
That means Jesus had to be
Blacker then the Egyptians then so he was blacker than me
Kind of like Nat Turner had to be
Imagine if we didn’t have photography a couple centuries
And they painted Kanye West a Caucasian
The African-American parties would be raging
What if they said the Beatles were Asian?
Half man, half amazing
I’m on a narrow path pacing
A Black man from Afghan blazing
A burning bush
Learning 'bout the kingdom of Kush
Push your wig back
And how crack made another Black crack
How they got us all tagged in a prison stat
Knowing damn well more than half ain’t even living that
I’m Black and I’m proud
Ever since I was a child I knew that
Because James Brown proved that back then
Black man, I’m light-skinned but
