Black American Lyrics by G. Pryor

MastaDon

2023

[Verse 1]
I catch hate just because of my light skin
Darker skinned blacks they equate it to white skin
Like I get special privileges and niceness
Thinking I’m softer than over cooked rice is
Still in these divided states of embarrassment
They’re slowly trying to legalize sexual harassment
The alphabet mafia bullying all of us
But I ain’t talking under my breath I’m talking up
Ain’t gone bite my tongue 'cause that hurts
I ain’t about to wear no purse or no skirt
I ain’t about to wear no blouse as my shirt
And ain’t nobody redefining my words
It’s much bigger issues in our community
You letting skin tone put a wall between you and me
Meanwhile you paying for Gucci and Louis V
Shitting on black brands, preaching ‘bout unity, huh?
[Bridge]
We must start putting ourselves above all else to survive
We mustn’t fail we must prevail and keep our eyes open wide
They want us dead, they want us gone, they want us not to be here
We must press on and keep on going and speak loud so they hear this
[Hook]
Say it loud, I'm Black and I'm proud
Say it loud, I'm Black and I'm proud
I can't hear you, Say it loud, I'm Black and I'm proud
Are y'all out there, Say it loud, I'm Black and I'm proud
[Verse 2]
They killing us off and it ain’t no accident
Drawing up bullshit laws and passing it
Black women I love y’all and I’m passionate
But it ain’t empowerment unless your ass in it
When will we all realize we need therapy
Cause mental health issues are running rampantly
Niggas think the ops of the block are black people
Trust the facts people the blacks ain’t that evil
How many times have we pillaged and raped nations
Built up plantations calling it vacations
Karen stay hating all for nothing
You see a white woman the laws could be coming
And they know the end results could be your death
Our skin color is enough for it to go left
Wonder how many white women got blood on their hands
Even kids like Emmit Till, you know what I’m saying
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Nonchalant told me you rap then something
Youngins all drugged the fuck up and can’t function
Defending a black woman they had to cage Youngin
Gotta teach a lesson to the ones who ain’t fronting
Committing mass murder ‘cause their numbers are dropping
So they ban abortions to try to help stop it
They legalized weed and juneteenth for profit
But I ain’t trying to preach dog I ain’t no prophet
I just want progress for the whole human race
And niggas not to die ‘cause the skin on his face
Lead by example try to be the template
Even if you’re going to a shelter’s intake
You gotta keep your head up you gotta stay positive
And work towards your goals and dreams without stopping it
Change who you rocking with, if they don’t wanna see you succeed
You can make it you gotta believe, peace
[Hook]
