[DJ Envy]: You're telling me right, if my son, my black son brings home a white girl because..
[Umar Johnson]: How old is he?
[Envy]: not for nothin, he's 13, not for nothin. We live in an area that is predominantly white
[Umar]: Okay
[Envy]: Reason why? Better school system, better education, a lot safer
[Umar]: I gotcha
[Envy]: So if he brings home a white girl, I should be like: "Son...
[Umar]: We need to have a conversation
[Envy]: ..you shouldn't date her, you should date a black person..
[Umar]: Yessuh!
[Envy]: ...a black woman."
[Umar] Yessuh!
[Envy]: See I don't agree with that
[Umar]: And let me tell you why...
[Charlamagne]: Wait till he get older and go to college. He like mayonnaise now, but when he go to that HBCU and see that soul food...
[Envy]: But let him experience what he likes, I don't wanna be the person that says: "You can't do this.."
[Umar]: No you HAVE to be the person, because you have to teach your son loyalty to his community. European Jews do it, Arabs do it, Chinese do it, East...We're the only people who feel anxious and ambivalent about telling our black boys that you better love and marry a black woman
[Pre-hook]
I'm pro-black and I don't care
Breathe black and I love the air, if you don't like it, get used to it, cause you know that we everywhere
Got an Umar Johnson type of flow, even though he crazy though
Spread the word of God, cause He the one that made me so
Ain't no apology bout who I'm following
The end is coming, it's scary like Halloween
Seeing that bottle, I know that it's calling me
But I ain't budging, the budget is offering
And that's how the church go, let me hit 'em with a, yeah, let me hit 'em with a church flow. I said...
[Hook]
Hallelujah, praise, GOD, praise Jesus, Amen
Holy Spirit, yes I'm near it, but I'm still the same man
Wanna change, make it better, we should try to come together
But my people stuck inside the storm, I'm here to change the weather
[Verse 1]
Paint the picture so Mary Lewis, make it clear so y'all can view this
Made to lead for Medgar Evers, triple K ain't got no leverage
Speaking that Sojourner Truth, just so I can save the youth
Real blackness inside my DNA, y'all can see the proof
I got Booker T. Washington with the education
I got George Washington Carver with the innovation
I got Angela Davis coming with motivation, ain't no hesitation now tell me, where are the reparations?
How silly am I? Asking that question a million times
Acting like that's gon' do something for the people tryna get so equal just to get by
The government is so freakin wicked, I depict it. Everyone gather round, you gotta listen to this vision that I'm building, I just wanna make me a blacker business. I'm gone!
(I just wanna make me a blacker business!)
[Bridge]
The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
They say I'm black and I'm scary, I guess it's time to let loose uh huh!
[Verse 2]
And pro-black don't mean anti-white
How long till we get it right?
Step outside and they shoot on sight
We just tryna make our future bright
Terrorist in our own land, tell 'em all there's a high demand
To hide the plan, that's why I stand up for the people that have been banned
For the people that have been wronged, they never liked us after all
Some of us even hate our own, these are things that have been shown (x2)
And we talk about interracial marriage
Black men, white women get embarrassed
White men, black women get embarrassed
Okay, so please don't disparage
They did that back in the day, way back in the day. Take it way back, take it way back in the day
Where there was no preference and love had some type of reverence
I said
[Hook]
Hallelujah, praise, GOD, praise Jesus, Amen
Holy Spirit, yes I'm near it, but I'm still the same man
Wanna change, make it better, we should try to come together
But my people stuck inside the storm, I'm here to change the weather
[Outro speech]
Grandma talking bout, I said: "Mama, you can't sit... you know people need to stop being upset about interracial marriage, because Moses had an interracial marriage and because Miriam spoke against his wife, God dogged her. He made her have leprosy, He gave her leprosy and she had to stay out of the camp for seven days. And the she spoke against..you can't..you know...that's why I don't understand folks be talking bout: 'I just don't believe in that'... it was happening in the biblical days, now it doesn't mean you gotta go out and search: 'I want me a white man'. You don't have to do that, but if that's your preference, fine."
