The Blacker The Berry |
| Everything black, I don't want black |
| I want everything black, I ain't need black |
| Some white some black, I ain't mean black |
| I want everything black |
| Six in the mornin', fire in the street |
| Burn, baby burn, that's all I wanna see |
| And sometimes I get off watchin' you die in vain |
| It's such a shame they may call me crazy |
| They may say I suffer from schizophrenia or somethin' |
| But homie you made me |
| Black don't crack my nigga |
| I'm the biggest hypocrite of 2015 |
| Once I finish this, witnesses will convey just what I mean |
| Been feeling this way since I was 16, came to my senses |
| You never liked us anyway, fuck your friendship, I meant it |
| I'm African-American, I'm African |
| I'm black as the moon, heritage of a small village |
| Pardon my residence |
| Came from the bottom of mankind |
| My hair is nappy, my dick is big, my nose is round and wide |
| You hate me don't you? |
| You hate my people, your plan is to terminate my culture |
| You're fuckin' evil I want you to recognize that I'm a proud monkey |
| You vandalize my perception but can't take style from me |
| And this is more than confession |
| I mean I might press the button just so you know my discretion |
| I'm guardin' my feelins, I know that you feel it |
| You sabotage my community, makin' a killin' |
| You made me a killer, emancipation of a real nigga |
| The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice |
| The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice |
| The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice |
| The blacker the berry, the bigger I shoot |
| I said they treat me like a slave, cah' me black |
| Woi, we feel a whole heap of pain, cah' we black |
| And man a say they put me in a chain, cah' we black |
| Imagine now, big gold chain full of rocks |
| How you no see the whip, left scars pon' me back |
| But now we have a big whip, parked pon' the block |
| All them say we doomed from the start, cah' we black |
| Remember this, every race start from the block, just remember that |
| I'm the biggest hypocrite of 2015 |
| Once I finish this, witnesses will convey just what I mean |
| I mean, it's evident that I'm irrelevant to society |
| That's what you're telling me, penitentiary would only hire me |
| Curse me till I'm dead |
| Church me with your fake prophesyzing that I'mma be just another slave in my head |
| Institutionalize manipulation and lies |
| Reciprocation of freedom only live in your eyes |
| You hate me don't you? |
| I know you hate me just as much as you hate yourself |
| Jealous of my wisdom and cards I dealt |
| Watchin' me as I pull up, fill up my tank, then peel out |
| Muscle cars like pull ups, show you what these big wheels 'bout, ah |
| Black and successful, this black man meant to be special |
| CAT scans on my radar bitch, how can I help you? |
| How can I tell you I'm making a killin'? |
| You made me a killer, emancipation of a real nigga |
| I'm the biggest hypocrite of 2015 |
| When I finish this if you listenin' sure you will agree |
| This plot is bigger than me, it's generational hatred |
| It's genocism, it's grimy, little justification |
| I'm African-American, I'm African |
| I'm black as the heart of a fuckin' Aryan |
| I'm black as the name of Tyrone and Darius |
| Excuse my French but fuck you — no, fuck y'all |
| That's as blunt as it gets, I know you hate me, don't you? |
| You hate my people, I can tell cause it's threats when I see you |
| I can tell cause your ways deceitful |
| Know I can tell because you're in love with the Desert Eagle |
| Thinkin' maliciously, he get a chain then you gone bleed him |
| It's funny how Zulu and Xhosa might go to war |
| Two tribal armies that want to build and destroy |
| Remind me of these Compton Crip gangs that live next door |
| Beefin' with Piru's, only death settle the score |
| So don't matter how much I say I like to preach with the Panthers |
| Or tell Georgia State "Marcus Garvey got all the answers" |
| Or try to celebrate February like it's my B-Day |
| Or eat watermelon, chicken, and Kool-Aid on weekdays |
| Or jump high enough to get Michael Jordan endorsements |
| Or watch BET cause urban support is important |
| So why did I weep when Trayvon Martin was in the street? |
| When gang banging make me kill a nigga blacker than me? |
| Hypocrite! |
