Текст (слова) песни: King Sun - Be Black

 
(Richard Pryor) Have any of you ever been to Africa, 
 back to the motherland? It`s somethin... *echoes* 
 
All these lovely... brothers and sisters 
The subject at hand is about your own people 
The poison animal eaters, slaves of a mental death in power 
And our next speaker, well... we know who he is 
 
Verse One: 
 
This is not a rhyme about the racial times 
And if you don`t want to hear it then pay it no mind 
What I`m about to say may get you all upset 
So I apoligize and the wise don`t sweat 
The matter at hand is toward the black 
That live a falsehood life and that`s no way to act 
You don`t wear gold because you can`t afford it 
The medallion was cheap, so you went out and bought it 
From a Chinese man, or some Korean fella 
I bet you think your money went to help Mandela 
Oh really, has the past been forgotten? 
Dressin how they used to in the days of pickin cotton 
Martin Luther King did a lot for us 
But today it`s cool to play the back of the bus 
I study 120, I`m right and exact 
So I think I should reveal what it is to be black 
 
Verse Two: 
 
Now everybody`s wearin the red black and green 
Here`s the point: do you know what it means? 
Red for the bloodshed, black for the people 
Green for the land to be utilized equal 
"Yo I`m from Africa" boy you`re just a faker 
Name one city "Uhh, Jamaica!" 
WRONG... and I think that`s a shame 
An African look with an American name 
You might fool others but you can`t fool Sun 
Wanna build with the brother, then I am the one 
Play connect the dots, all the way to the motherland 
What have you done for your nation my brotherman 
You can`t even do the right things for self 
Then you got the nerve to criticize somebody else 
If it wasn`t for Chuck you wouldn`t know of Farrakhan 
I understand that the man is a paragon 
Open up your eyes and ears and try to learn 
Stop perpetratin with your false concern 
Even some rappers, frontin in their videos 
Nothing but Oreos, tryin to be memorial 
I`m not impressed, by the way some stars 
perpetrate to be original, you know who you are 
I diss my people who choose to lack 
cause there`s more to learn on how to be black 
 
Verse Three: 
 
And then they say I`m prejudiced, cause I like redbones 
But nowadays original girls are headstrong 
Not as a whole, but the majority I know 
Are too busy frontin yo, tryin to be fly though 
You might hear this and think I`m trippin 
But knowledge the wisdom before you start flippin 
As modern day God, I do analysis 
To find out what makes them hard like callouses 
Instead of being sweat, truthful and soft 
They wanna be false and that turns me off 
Your hair`s not real, neither are your eyes 
And your makeup is swine plus a big disguise 
Your clothes are tight, I can see every inch 
And then you wonder how I get this urge to pinch 
Sellin your sex, without makin love 
I`m not Keith to be Sweat-in you and that`s unheard of 
If I got dollars, I`m good for your number 
If I look fine, I get a one night slumber 
Wham, bam, but no thank you ma`am 
Wanna knock the boots but you don`t know who I am 
This is not a diss to my black sista 
If I screamed on ya daughter, pardon me mista 
The point I`m makin, such a visual fact 
Teach her to be original, and how to be black 
 
Groove to this 
Move to this 
 
Verse Four: 
 
I know you`re probably mad and would like to roast me 
But get yourself together, before you approach me 
Cause I`m no sucka, I say what I feel 
I might hurt your feelings, but at least I`m real 
The way to be black is to strive for goals 
You`re no longer the people who was bought and sold 
My advice to you is a word to the wise 
Snap out of the negative, into the civilized 
This place around you was meant to down you 
Kings and Queens but yet they still won`t crown 
Sun Born Allah has a goal no doubt if you`re black 
and you`re proud you better live that out...
