Black and White

Hey dad, I got in a fight with this white kid today at school

Son, didn't I tell you, I don't want you fighting?

But he called me a nigger

I'm just a black man trapped in this white world

I'm just a black man trapped in this white world

I'm just a black man trapped in this white world

I'm just a black man trapped in this white world

I'm just a black man trapped in this white world

And this goes to every woman, man, boy and girl

It's a shame when you can't send your kids to decent schools

We live in the world for the laws and no rules

Gang-bangers, crease sides and chalk lines

Correctional facilities full of juveniles doin' petty crimes

In this ghetto, got me crazy

Sometimes I wish, mama wouldn'ta made me

But it's a shame when you gotta raise a baby

And the color of my skin might taint me

I'm just a black man trapped in this white world

I'm just a black man trapped in this white world

I'm just a black man trapped in this white world

And this goes to every woman, man, boy, and girl

And all the money can't change the color of your skin

Why so many blacks and Mexicans in the pen?

It is 'cause we violent?

But why Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves and started smilin'?

So many people have dreams

But why society eliminated Martin Luther King?

And they tell us to be proud to be black

And at the same time, Uncle John shoot us in the back

Independence, it's a free country

No jobs, most blacks turn to street money

A bunch of ghetto, full of drugs and alcohol

Where found history books about white laws

And tell me Hilfiger discriminate and sell us clothes

But we can't blame him 'cause

We don't support the black stores

And only God can judge or point the finger

And what's white or black and red

And blue, equals gang banging

I'm just a black man trapped in this white world

I'm just a black man trapped in this white world

I'm just a black man trapped in this white world

And this goes to every woman, man, boy, and girl

(I'm just a black man trapped in this white world)

I'm colorblind, so Lord won't you feel my pain?

(Hold on, hold on trapped in this white world)

I'm colorblind, so Lord won't you feel my pain?

P, pray for your little brother

Silkk, keep your head up

I'm tryin' but sometime I get fed up

(Damn)

What about all of the people that died in the past?

Peers, I can't get back with too many found guilty

And I know they didn't do it but still they can't get back

I see the copper be tryin' to nail me

Police constantly trailin' me

'Cause I'm young, rich, and black

I'm always under surveillance

Dash me out the car and wanna ask me who the car fuck

They allowed to carry guns, can't never be convicted

Who that law fuck?

I'm guilty till proven innocent

Still we all equals, how do you figure?

Cop told me, "You weren't speeding

But I'm gonna give you a ticket 'cause you a nigger"

I seen the hardest of my homies break down in tears

A white judge looked them in the eyes and gave them thirty-five years

Now it's a everyday struggle, I hustle just to live

To raise your kids when they got them teachin' them

Their parents better than them

They got me thinkin' the color of my skin is a sin

I'm a black man in a white man's world

Where it's set up for me not to win

Lookit, ain't that about a bitch

They look at us like we ain't shit

But lookit, I ain't racist, but face it, it exists

I'm a black man

I'm just a black man trapped in this white world

I'm just a black man trapped in this white world

I'm just a black man trapped in this white world

And this goes to every woman, man, boy, and girl

Check this out

Underneath, ain't no black or white

We all equal, we all equal

We all got the same opportunity

Whether we wanna be judges, doctors, or lawyers

Ain't a black or white thing

Pick the best man for the job

And there shouldn't be no hatin'

Where you live, if you can afford to buy a house

Should be able to live wherever you want

The same hospitality they give to athletes and movie stars

Should give that same hospitality and companionship to your neighbors

You heard me?

Y'all know it ain't a black and white thing with me

I just make music for the reality

Only the real could feel this, huh

Only the real could feel this

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
