Field Mob - Blacker The Berry lyrics

rate me

Its ya boy Chevy P babe...

Listen

I remember as a kid back.. in the days

I got picked on kicked at... shit on spit at

Get gone get back (gone Smoke) get away

Havin a dark pigmentation was hard then to make friends

Felt like God didn't take his time with me

He musta made me late night tired and sleepy

Cause life wasn't easy they dogged me

Said that I was so dark the bet I could sweat coffee

And peepee sweet tea and spit oil

Say when ashy I lotion down in Armor All

Made me feel like a loser really lame

Because of my complexion nobody would include me in games

Not even tag never "it" nobody would touch me

Nope no girlfriends cause shawties thought I was ugly

Through all the jokes and laughs pokes and stabs blows and jabs

Hopin sad mopin mad before the scabs nobody told me that...

The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice

I say the darker the flesh then the deeper the roots

(this song is to all the dark skinned)

The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice

I say the darker the flesh then the deeper the roots

The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice

I say

The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice

I say

The blacker the berry t-the blacker the berry

the blacker the blacker the blacker the blacker

I ain't have Marvin Gaye to sing to me

And make me feel like black was the thing to be

Until Big Daddy Kane I was so glad he came

Made me feel good about bein black again cause

We was at the bottom of the market

(Al B.) made (Sure) it was a problem to be dark skinned

Until (Wesley Sniped) him

In with the darkies out with the light skinned

Now we got Tyrese Taye and Tyson

Mekhi Phife in every movie ya likin

Blade he remind me of a modern day Panther

While Batman (hides behind a mask) like a (Klansman)

We have to achieve... ('Caine's killin us)

Like it killed the second son of Adam and Eve

Ya palm is white and spreaded fist still black and tightly now

Slappin five was cool but rather ya ball ya fist and give me pound

'cause

Tiger Woods say he ain't black... whatever

They say Michael Jackson ain't white... whatever

And Venus and Serena done beat mo white girls

Than O.J. and Rick James put together

Now Michael Vick's the new black hero

Bet John Madden ain't see it comin

(saw a quarterback as a negro)

Jordan he can't hide it he look like an African Tribal leader

If you can lighten him then you can brighten me up

Now don't get me wrong and think I'm prejudiced

Listenin to this song.. I'm not racist

As a matter of fact shout out to Jamie Lori and Chad

My white friends from Lee County to Bladecliff

Just bein dark is it whats like bein white in the audience

At a black comedy show I

Was guaranteed to get cracked on and joked out

Now this ugly duckling is a swan I know now

It's the F-B-I
