How It Feels to Be Black |
When your people see me, man, they think that I ball |
Probably because I’m black with tattoos and I’m tall |
They think that I’m simple-minded, nigga stay at the mall |
They thinkin' that we don’t work and we just work for that call |
You know, that hook-up |
It’s like they set us back, man, every time that I look up |
They want us all dumb, they afraid if we pick a book up |
Even more afraid if we get up out of that car |
That they told us get up out of, if we listen, it’s like they shook up |
New cat just tryna hustle to get my crew stacked |
Apply for all these jobs and they wonder why niggas move crack |
Move back, white people sayin' that he like tooth back |
Paid, guess they ain’t see us comin', niggas is too black |
They say niggas fire but they want us up in flames |
Told us go for gold but they don’t want us up in chains |
They say we look good when we ballin', and I’m flattered |
They say black lives matter, how it matter, nothin' change? |
Man, this lifestyle is wack, yeah, uh |
This how it feel to be black, uh |
I swear this lifestyle is wack, yeah |
This how it feel to be black |
So, been sittin' first class, stewardess tell me I don’t belong there |
Like I made it to the top but I took the wrong stairs |
Now I’m getting long stares every time I walk into that Whole Foods |
But I’m used to it, this shit old news |
These people wishin' we could go back to them old rules |
You know that MAGA mentality, Make America Great Again |
It’s never been great for I |
Every cop case, they lie |
We just tryna stay alive |
I been stayin' on my shit |
Segregate from each other but never own shit |
We fight to keep every bit of that pride, then lose ours |
Make all that money livin' in hoods then move out it |
They done killed all of our kids, but who’s countin'? |
Shit, I been countin' down the days when I can make these people have to pay |
for it |
Not with violence, but take mine and make a way for it |
Spend them dollars for my people, build estates for 'em |
Take this pen and state every single place |
We done failed, took some L’s, my homie tried to prevail |
Got out the whip with a wallet, bullets shoot through his back |
That’s exactly how it feel to be black, REASON |
They say niggas fire but they want us up in flames |
Told us go for gold but they don’t want us up in chains |
They say we look good when we ballin', and I’m flattered |
They say black lives matter, how it matter, nothin' change? |
Man, this lifestyle is wack, yeah, uh |
This how it feel to be black, uh |
I swear this lifestyle is wack, yeah |
This how it feel to be black |
I was proud to be black, oh yeah, proud to be black |
But now it seems we gettin' killed for it, yeah |
I thought freedom was free |
But still I feel like the man been tryna cut us up a deal for it, facts |
Yeah, Chubby the real know it, the real poet, I’ma say my piece |
Fuck the cops, I been thinkin' 'bout how I’ma pay my lease |
And it’s crazy when we run into the boys, I don’t get it |
'Cause the looks is all sour but my mama say I’m sweet, for real |
Shit is not right, swear this not life |
I can’t buy what they sellin', I gotta shop right |
I often think about passin' through on the stop lights |
Heart beatin' fast as soon as I see the cop lights |
A businessman, I’ll kill to be that |
I’m that cold, a black hole, that’s how it feel to be black, yeah |
Uh, that’s how it feel to be black |
I’m that cold, a black hole, that’s how it feel to be black, yeah |
