(Verse) Tell me what it means (what?) To be black, someone tell me what it means! Who I gotta vote for, who am I to be? What car I gotta drive, where I gotta buy my jeans, black man? If ya ain't really hood, ya can't be a black man Is it cuz I’m propa when I speak, black man? Should I be a chain and gold teeth black man? Or a Martin Luther King had a dream black man, a dream black man Ya really gotta practice what ya preach, black man! How ya going to talk about peace, black man When I got death threats on my screen, nah I'm not the enemy, black man So who draws the first straw? Errybody hurt, who caused the first scar Cuz as soon as ya see niggas get to fightin Ya be the first muthafucka want to yell out World Star! Can't nobody else touch a nigga! But it's cool for a brutha just to bust a nigga (pow) Guns sold in erry hood, here, sland a dozen niggas Gon' kill yoself, while you're at it, take a couple withya And that don't justify the cop shit (nah) I'm just on some black mob shit The best way to protest, hit em where it hurts, they pockets It's time to Boyka shit We need less rappers and more doctrines We need less ballas and more prophets We need more unity and less gossip But who am I to speak, I neva went to college I hate to be the bearer of bad news But all of this double standard thinkin is taboo If black hate is a myth, the term new black wouldn't even exist! I pray for tomorrow, I pray for the sorrow I pray for the truth and I pray for Chicago I pray for Detroit and I pray for Oakland! I pray for Port Au Prince and I pray for New Orleans Somebody let me know, how can I be a betta African American Like I ain't grow up bein black in America Like I ain't grow up around crack AIDS and heroin Damn!
