colorism - dr. b-bay lyrics

verse 1:
if we can take our kids out the ghetto
if we could build ownerships and be the ownermens
if we can only love each other
if we can put the guns down cus you my brother from another mother
if we be the mothers and fathers
if we could love my children more build them up, we can change the world
if we could turn back the hands of time
and say f-ck slavery, stay in africa and build a f-cking nation
no room for segregation, statue of liberation, penniless habitation, kings -ss-ssination
look my god said we some black boys
but crackers flipped the script & said na y’all some black spoils
hooligans & thugs the name they f-cking gave us (uhh)
infiltrate our hoods with same sh-t that k!lled amy (uhh)
look selling them things in the vacants
standing ovation to my brothers we lost
this that martin luther king flow, oscar d’leon flow, huey p newton, malcom x and steve biko
couple of leaders murdered cus they wanted equal
so don’t be taking aback if they put me six below
i want to be the garvey, i want to be the martin luther
i want to be the elon musk, if i must
if we must then bust & know in god we trust
if we never fuss or fight then we i trust
blacks don’t got each other’s back like a chiropract that just the bitter fact
we call the house the trap, & guess who do the trapping
they need to k!ll us off, & guess who do the clapping
but we gone act like reagan didn’t bring drugs in the hood & george bush didn’t aid it too
we gone act like clinton didn’t lock us up for nothing, for nothing less than a gram and putting mothers in jams
now kids with no mother or father, that’s how the cycle begins
not even given a chance now youngin slanging them yams
i had to write from within
let em know the truth hurt but purifieth the sin
and look how they ain’t let kaepernick back in the game
cus he took a knee? cus our freedom ain’t guaranteed?
look the answers we lack, the answer is we black (2x)

hook:
if you ain’t white you’re black
if you ain’t black you’re white
and that’s facts you’re either wrong or white
if you ain’t white you’re black
if you ain’t black you’re white
and they’ll throw you in the cell for slight

if you ain’t white your black
if you ain’t black your white
and that’s facts you’re either wrong or white
if you ain’t black you’re white
if you ain’t white you’re black
and they’ll throw you in the cell for slight

verse 2:
look we came from nothing, came from jungles, came up struggling
came from the hood misunderstood came up troubling
came from the wolves, no love came from the spouses
came from tenant stay, section 8, erratic houses
taken food stamps, public housing with no roof sands
came from where you gotta keep a tool to stay moving
came from michigan where we had no clean water
came from the corner, came from the horror, i came for ya honor
in trial, i’m standing while i’m begging ya honor
give me a 100 years for what? i’m not that medieval monster
and i’m guiltless, i ain’t do this sh-t
oh well you black and you fit the description so you must have something to do with it
i swear the way they do us is like the way they do animals
its like we hannibal that’s why they look at us like cannibals
maybe that’s why we k!lling each other, maybe someway we gotta release our stress tho
it’s stressful, the facts are all in all, the data showing it all
they building more jails than nba courts and red porches uhh
they invest in jail & make millions, so who you think is serving time, we the f-cking menace
i swear this a new slavery, pray for thee, before i step outside mama please pray for me
i grew up in the hood so i got a stake for free, that’s when i made up my mind that i’d rather save lives than take one is my occupation, change is a process its like ovulation
look, i gotta preach it to the youth, if n0body will then i’ll speak the truth
