Lyrics

Hey man, we need to talk And this time I'll try not yelling I just don't appreciate remarks About how 'real black people' are jive talking fatherless felons Who the fuck are you to tell me I'm not black enough? Cuz if I lost my cool in the eyes of the law I'd be 2 shades too dark to trust Being black isn't getting to use the N word Honestly I'd prefer if no one said it all No, being black isn't wearing a 'Free Chief Keef' tall t-shirt Waiting for your father or parole officer to call No, that's not it Hey man, you're kind of an asshole For thinking it's cool to say that shit I never fucking asked you Your opinions on Tyler Perry or interracial relationships Or how bad you want to fuck a black girl Because objectification's some accomplishment Or how easy I must have it Because what's in my pants must be really big But being black isn't having a 12 inch dick Although I've let the assumption get me laid more times than I care to admit No, being black isn't being a mad woman Having to trick or gold dig to support hood rat kids No, that's not it So hey man, don't you dare tell me what I am I'm not your oreo or a coconut Or whatever clever euphemisms you make up I know it's hard to believe But we're not all the same I don't need your insight on my people's pop culture Let that sink in I'm black And most days I'm proud to be Proud of our culture, proud of or history But that doesn't solely define me I refuse to let my skin color become my identity Or whatever else you want to try to use to confine me So who are you to tell me I'm not black enough?
