i am black - berwyn lyrics

[intro]
i am black, i’m black
i am black, black
i am black, i’m black
i am black, black

[verse 1]
heavenly father, sorry to bother
i know you got lotta sh*t that you gotta
deal with, but on some real sh*t
right now i’m in a bother and thought i should holler, yeah
heavenly father, sorry to bother
how come me and my brother were born in the gutter?
how come everybody there was a similar colour?
do you fight for one side and not for the other? uh
put some black in my step
tell them, “run me my check”
i want money, respect
i am black, so it’s difficult loving myself
i am black and i not tryna run from myself

[pre*chorus]
the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice
turning nothing into something is something we do
they wanna see us sing blues and die on the news
pour some juice and scream from the roof
[chorus]
i am black, hmm, i’m black
i am black, i’m black
i am black, hmm, i’m black
i am black, i’m black (yeah, black, i am black)

[verse 2]
heavenly father, sorry to bother
but i can’t really wait till the day when we meet in nirvana
brother, sorry, this is something you gotta do
are you like me? you’re from the gutter and love all the drama too
because i’m losing my religion and rem sleep
in these streets, we play for keeps, it’s hardly that deep
imagine living life scared you could die on the street
any day any week, mothers pray and they weep
i hate that everybody dropped the same colour as me
he’s the same colour as me, but he’s f*cking with me
now i’m walking down the strip with some blood on my cheek
because somebody called me a “n*gga” and f*cked with my chi
now i’m walking down the strip with some blood on my face
heavenly father, do you know how much blood i have tasted?
all my brothers looked to demons for father replacements
’cause our fathers f*cked off so our mums couldn’t raise us
f*ck your angels, how the f*ck you expect me to praise them?
they probably k!ll and steal just like us, i won’t know which ones i could trust
heavenly father, i know you’re not the one to blame for this sh*t
but some days it feels like i’m out here just taking blame for this sh*t
heavenly father, do you know how long i been taking this sh*t?
we carried blades for this sh*t
i grew up with an idea that they gave us aids in this sh*t
man, i got raised in this sh*t, start explaining this sh*t
and i ain’t praising you till you give me some praise in this sh*t
they see my face and they think i am just a slave on a ship
we had to slave for this sh*t, they k!lled our greats for this sh*t
rest in peace bob marley, you’re a saint in this sh*t
[pre*chorus]
you will never catch man around no fake crowd
and i will never lie down when they say stay down
i never got to play ball in the playground
too busy moving 8 b*lls in the playground

[chorus]
i am black, i am black, hmm
i’m black, black
i am black, i am black, hmm
i’m black (yeah), black, i’m black

[verse 3]
heavenly father, thank you for the sun in the sky
and thank you for a reason for life
thank you for the things they’ll never steal
send me a sign to show me you’re real, you don’t know how this feels
heavenly father, excuse my rage
i don’t know why it is how it is but it’s how it has stayed
and it’s probably the sh*t that my grandkids will face
anyway i’m gone, if i need you i’ll holler again
bye

[outro]
i’m black, i am black
i am black
i am black
i am black, i am black
