about

The 1st version, a mixtape one, debuted on my 2010 RADICAL THINKING VOL. 1 MIXTAPE and again, it was a song so strong that it need it's own production, and now it got it. This joint was my breakdown on the "BLACK RACE STEREOTYPES" or stereotypes in general, and the fact that I've dated outside of my race or enjoy music that's not greatly considered as "BLACK MUSIC" doesn't mean I'm any less aware or proud of my ethnicity.

lyrics

Yeah
Yo Steele, check it out right
I wear my 'Devil Wears Prada' tee
Dudes be talkin' 'bout, yo he trying to be white
Or if I say like, I'm feelin' Minka Kelly
I like Kelly Rowland too, I like black women
I dunno son
Rage Ep
Listen

Ignorance isn't bliss, ignorance isn't this
My innocence is at risk
I've been guilty of a lotta stuff, Not being black enough
Straight retarded, you need to drop those charges
Some stick to their own kind, indeed so guarded
Cause I don't? You spit at me? Ninja please, don't start it
Racism is racism, aren't we all created equal in God's sight
What you sayin'? That's not right
That's God's wrong, that's a mistake
Cause if you're hatin' on Jason bonding with Asians, that's exactly what you're saying
This hot topic's burning and this flow is the lighter fluid
There's racism even in church, that's kinda stupid
Cop to it, still you wanna stress 'Quest right
But a blue-eyed Obama supporter? Is he less white
I bump Ne-yo and Robin Thicke
And all that 'Jungle Fever' talk that you be poppin'? Quit

Yes I'm black
Yes I'm that
It won't change
That's a fact
Yes I'm black
Black as I ever been
From the color of my skin to the fact I'm the first a cop is taking in
Yes I'm black
Yes I'm that
It won't change
That's a fact
Yes I'm black
Black as I ever been
But I still love God and I'm serving him

Yeah, yeah
And though I got a girl in God's image in likeness
Some sistas will hate that she's Hispanic or a white chick
Talkin' 'bout, there ain't enough good men for our race
Yet they're fast to pick the cat quicker to smack 'em in the face
Straight crack 'em like a safe, straight gash 'em in the waist
That's the practices today, that's the character display
Of your strong black man, the one with six baby moms, every disease
And you got the nerve to be picking on me
Cause I've dated a lighter shade, you wanna throw strikes at Jay
Posing as a righteous play, but with this mic I say
Don't call me 'oreo', 'cause caucasians are brethren
Or my race you question 'cause I grew up on Led Zeppelin
I'm still black but stereotypically so
And I love my chocolate sisters, they're terrific, please note
But if God said that Jennifer Anniston type's your boo
I don't have to prove my blackness to you

Yes I'm black
Yes I'm that
It won't change
That's a fact
Yes I'm black
Black as I ever been
From the color of my skin to the fact I'm the first a cop is taking in
Yes I'm black
Yes I'm that
It won't change
That's a fact
Yes I'm black
Black as I ever been
But I still love God and I'm serving him
Yes I'm black
Yes I'm that
It won't change
That's a fact
Yes I'm black
Black as I ever been
From the color of my skin to the fact I'm the first a cop is taking in
Yes I'm black
Yes I'm that
It won't change
That's a fact
Yes I'm black
Black as I ever been
But I still love God and I'm serving him
