《What Am I? (Explicit)》歌词

[00:04:58] Yo I don't even know what the vibe is kid

[00:04:58] All these different things seperatin us

[00:04:58] It got me walkin this fence man

[00:04:58] And I don't even know what side I'ma fall on b

[00:04:58] Can't see it

[00:04:58] Well I'm a zebra y'all

[00:04:58] "half puerto rican half black but you don't speak spanish"

[00:04:58] Don't call me zebra y'all

[00:04:58] "half puerto rican half black "

[00:04:58] Now how old are you

[00:04:58] About six on my bmx doin tricks

[00:04:58] Back to middlesex with a couple of poor white trashy brats

[00:04:58] Everything was coochie crunch till it was time for lunch

[00:04:58] They said to wait in the back they said that pops ain't like black

[00:04:58] See where I was the population's mostly white

[00:04:58] Ain't it

[00:04:58] They wanna see you jiggaboo with your

[00:04:58] Face painted

[00:04:58] Be brought home by one of their daughters and their fathers

[00:04:58] Fainted

[00:04:58] They want to see you a failure so I never

[00:04:58] Became it

[00:04:58] Light-skinned showed them lead curly-headed

[00:04:58] Called me names I was different I was gifted they made me ashamed

[00:04:58] Found out that I'm a different shade when I'm in the second grade

[00:04:58] Abe lincoln's play they want me to portray a slave

[00:04:58] My momma's face went pale she looked like she wanted to puke

[00:04:58] Now that I know the truth I'd rather play john wilkes booth

[00:04:58] Although my family came and *****ed and in the play my role was switched

[00:04:58] My grandma told me I was fixed my problems wasn't fixed

[00:04:58] My family seen my views of the world distort

[00:04:58] Moms last resort she decided we would move to newark

[00:04:58] I took a deep breath leaving everything I knew behind

[00:04:58] The country air the green grass and my piece of mind

[00:04:58] Harassed by white cops on our way we're pulled out our car

[00:04:58] Mistook my mom for joanne chessimar

[00:04:58] Now I'm really scarred

[00:04:58] /lt/lt chorus/gt/gt

[00:04:58] What am I I'm confused can't decide

[00:04:58] What am I who am I what am I

[00:04:58] Black or white I can't identify

[00:04:58] What am I who am I what am I

[00:04:58] I'm confused can't decide

[00:04:58] What am I who am I what am I

[00:04:58] Black or white I can't identify

[00:04:58] What am I who am I what am I

[00:04:58] Culture shock newark's a far cry from middlesex

[00:04:58] Broadly called projects black eyes regrets

[00:04:58] Torn lives I've never seen so many people depressed

[00:04:58] My mental gets molested physical takes violent threats

[00:04:58] Stress walkin home from school's like a terrorist test

[00:04:58] I learned blacks could be racist too somehow still I felt I was blessed

[00:04:58] Even my teachers called me half-breeds and all of that

[00:04:58] I was scared of livin here but also scared of movin back

[00:04:58] See where I was before I was the darkest thing they ever saw

[00:04:58] They figured that I'm black white around

[00:04:58] They kick me like a soccer ball

[00:04:58] White people didn't accept me

[00:04:58] ***** you

[00:04:58] Black people didn't accept me

[00:04:58] ***** you

[00:04:58] Puerto ricans didn't accept me

[00:04:58] ***** you

[00:04:58] Diggin researchin my identity it gots me goin cuckoo

[00:04:58] "I'm the yellow ni**a right

[00:04:58] I'm tired of that. I am not passing I am black

[00:04:58] I was born black I live black

[00:04:58] And I will die proud to be called black"

[00:04:58] So now I'm goin "hey n***az"at n***az that say chino's not black

[00:04:58] They come to my house and tell my african mother that

[00:04:58] In fact causin crackup they said no sister would attract to me

[00:04:58] These same brothers got perms to get their hair like mine was naturally

[00:04:58] Descrimination affects a brother's education

[00:04:58] Hands up in black history class they never called on my a**

[00:04:58] But wait growin at a rapid rate

[00:04:58] I digest their hate it's family

[00:04:58] Found out my father left me when I'm three

[00:04:58] Dealt with felt if I knew my spanish family they'd help

[00:04:58] Every mixed person I met they mostly just kept to themself

[00:04:58] We moved to east orange I set it off talent shows staring

[00:04:58] A high yellow ni**a's progression my flavor's pouring

[00:04:58] /lt/lt chorus/gt/gt

[00:04:58] Now how old are you

[00:04:58] About nineteen lettin off my steam

[00:04:58] Used to be a punchin bag but now I stomps in hip-hop fiend

[00:04:58] Now I get the goya jokes menudo jokes rico suave jokes

[00:04:58] But females rush me and the mc's steal up all my quotes

[00:04:58] See what I lacks in melanin I makes up wit adrenalin

[00:04:58] Your weak attempts at blemishin my mixed heritage I'm treasurin

[00:04:58] Don't need caucausian acceptance just that of a human being

[00:04:58] Laughed and spit at I don't represent cause I am not spanish speaking

[00:04:58] Now how many dues must I pay to win

[00:04:58] You're angry and you're stressin that opression

[00:04:58] But you judge me by the skin I'm in when

[00:04:58] Adam clayton powell's light-skinned and

[00:04:58] Farrakhan the brother's light-skinned and

[00:04:58] Elijah muhammad's also light-skinned

[00:04:58] Discrimination from my own peoples is making my temper go thin so

[00:04:58] So stop playing me slight saying my song's aight instead of hype
