Its ya boy Chevy P babe...
|
Listen
|
|
[Chevy P aka Smoke]
|
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...
|

[Hook w/ 2Pac sample from "Keep Ya Head Up"]
|
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
|
|
