[00:01.34]	Everything black, I don't want black (They want us to bow)
[00:04.11]	I want everything black, I ain't need black (Down to our knees)
[00:06.68]	Some white, some black, I ain't mean black (And pray to the God)
[00:09.32]	I want everything black (We don't believe)
[00:11.12]	Everything black, want all things black
[00:13.84]	I don't need black, want everything black
[00:16.08]	Don't need black, our eyes ain't black
[00:18.94]	I own black, own everything black
[00:22.24]	Six in the morn', fire in the street
[00:27.74]	Burn, baby, burn, that's all I wanna see
[00:34.81]	And sometimes I get off watchin' you die in vain
[00:37.08]	It's such a shame they may call me crazy
[00:41.24]	They may say I suffer from schizophrenia or somethin'
[00:43.54]	But homie, you made me
[00:46.38]	Black don't crack, my ********
[00:55.62]	I'm the biggest hypocrite of 2015
[00:57.62]	Once I finish this, witnesses will convey just what I mean
[01:00.26]	Been feeling this way since I was 16, came to my senses
[01:03.27]	You never liked us anyway, ****** your friend******p, I meant it
[01:06.18]	I'm African-American, I'm African
[01:08.40]	I'm black as the moon, heritage of a small village
[01:10.48]	Pardon my residence
[01:11.51]	Came from the bottom of mankind
[01:13.54]	My hair is nappy, my ******** is big, my nose is round and wide
[01:16.92]	You hate me don't you?
[01:18.02]	You hate my people, your plan is to terminate my culture
[01:20.25]	You're ********' evil I want you to recognize that I'm a proud monkey
[01:24.07]	You vandalize my perception but can't take style from me
[01:26.77]	And this is more than confession
[01:28.35]	I mean I might press the button just so you know my discretion
[01:30.89]	I'm guardin' my feelings, I know that you feel it
[01:33.11]	You sabotage my community, makin' a killin'
[01:35.63]	You made me a killer, emancipation of a real ********
[01:38.45]	The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
[01:41.20]	The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
[01:44.14]	The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
[01:46.86]	The blacker the berry, the bigger I shoot
[01:49.74]	I said they treat me like a slave, cah' me black
[01:51.69]	Woi, we feel a whole heap of pain, cah' we black
[01:54.30]	And man a say they put me inna chains, cah' we black
[01:57.15]	Imagine now, big gold chains full of rocks
[01:59.92]	How you no see the whip, left scars pon' me back
[02:02.54]	But now we have a big whip parked pon' the block
[02:05.19]	All them say we doomed from the start, cah' we black
[02:07.91]	Remember this, every race start from the block, just remember that
[02:12.09]	I'm the biggest hypocrite of 2015
[02:14.21]	Once I finish this, witnesses will convey just what I mean
[02:16.74]	I mean, it's evident that I'm irrelevant to society
[02:19.65]	That's what you're telling me, penitentiary would only hire me
[02:22.36]	Curse me till I'm dead
[02:24.03]	Church me with your fake prophesizing that I'mma be just another slave in my head
[02:28.00]	Institutionalized manipulation and lies
[02:30.84]	Reciprocation of freedom only live in your eyes
[02:33.64]	You hate me don't you?
[02:34.96]	I know you hate me just as much as you hate yourself
[02:36.97]	Jealous of my wisdom and cards I dealt
[02:38.96]	Watchin' me as I pull up, fill up my tank, then peel out
[02:41.96]	Muscle cars like pull ups, show you what these big wheels 'bout, ah
[02:45.15]	Black and successful, this black man meant to be special
[02:47.73]	CAT scans on my radar, ********, how can I help you?
[02:50.64]	How can I tell you I'm making a killin'?
[02:52.62]	You made me a killer, emancipation of a real ********
[02:55.28]	The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
[02:58.19]	The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
[03:00.87]	The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
[03:03.64]	The blacker the berry, the bigger I shoot
[03:06.30]	I said they treat me like a slave, cah' me black
[03:08.82]	Woi, we feel a whole heap of pain, cah' we black
[03:11.12]	And man a say they put me inna chains, cah' we black
[03:13.72]	Imagine now, big gold chains full of rocks
[03:16.64]	How you no see the whip, left scars pon' me back
[03:19.30]	But now we have a big whip parked pon' the block
[03:21.96]	All them say we doomed from the start, cah' we black
[03:24.63]	Remember this, every race start from the block, just remember that
[03:28.50]	I'm the biggest hypocrite of 2015
[03:30.97]	When I finish this if you listenin' then sure you will agree
[03:33.37]	This plot is bigger than me, it's generational hatred
[03:36.30]	It's genocism, it's grimy, little justification
[03:39.06]	I'm African-American, I'm African
[03:41.50]	I'm black as the heart of a ********' Aryan
[03:43.27]	I'm black as the name of Tyrone and Darius
[03:45.91]	Excuse my French but ****** you — no, ****** y'all
[03:48.33]	That's as blunt as it gets, I know you hate me, don't you?
[03:50.93]	You hate my people, I can tell cause it's threats when I see you
[03:53.80]	I can tell cause your ways deceitful
[03:55.43]	Know I can tell because you're in love with that Desert Eagle
[03:58.42]	Thinkin' maliciously, he get a chain then you gone bleed him
[04:00.88]	It's funny how Zulu and Xhosa might go to war
[04:03.45]	Two tribal armies that want to build and destroy
[04:06.38]	Remind me of these Compton Crip gangs that live next door
[04:09.06]	Beefin' with Pirus, only death settle the score
[04:11.60]	So don't matter how much I say I like to preach with the Panthers
[04:14.42]	Or tell Georgia State "Marcus Garvey got all the answers"
[04:17.06]	Or try to celebrate February like it's my B-Day
[04:20.05]	Or eat watermelon, chicken, and Kool-Aid on weekdays
[04:22.93]	Or jump high enough to get Michael Jordan endor********ts
[04:25.66]	Or watch BET cause urban support is important
[04:28.22]	So why did I weep when Trayvon Martin was in the street?
[04:30.86]	When gang banging make me kill a ******** blacker than me?
[04:33.64]	Hypocrite!
