Kendrick Lamar - The Blacker The Berry

Everything black I don't want black
I want everything black
I ain't need black
Some white some black
I ain't mean black
I want everything black
Everything black want
all things black
I don't need black want
everything black
Don't need black
Our eyes ain't black
I own black own
everything black
Six in the morn' fire in the street
Burn baby burn that's all I wanna see
And sometimes I get off
watchin' you die in vain
It's such a shame
they may call me crazy
They may say I suffer
from schizophrenia or somethin'
But homie you made me
Black don't crack my nigga
I'm the biggest hypocrite of 2015
Once I finish this
witnesses will convey
just what I mean
Been feeling this way since I was 16
came to my senses
You never liked us anyway
fuck your friendship I meant it
I'm African American I'm African
I'm black as the moon
heritage of a small village
Pardon my residence
Came from the bottom of mankind
My hair is nappy my dick is big
my nose is round and wide
You hate me don't you
You hate my people
your plan is to terminate my culture
You're fuckin' evil
I want you to recognize
that I'm a proud monkey
You vandalize my perception
but can't take style from me
And this is more than confession
I mean I might press
the button just
so you know my discretion
I'm guardin' my feelings
I know that you feel it
You sabotage my community
makin' a killin'
You made me a killer
emancipation of a real nigga
The blacker the berry
the sweeter the juice
The blacker the berry
the sweeter the juice
The blacker the berry
the sweeter the juice
The blacker the berry
the bigger I shoot
I said they treat me
like a slave cah' me black
Woi we feel a whole
heap of pain cah' we black
And man a say they put me
in a chain cah' we black
Imagine now big gold chain
full of rocks
How you no see the whip
left scars pon' me back
But now we have a big whip
parked pon' the block
All them say we doomed
from the start cah' we black
Remember this every race
start from the block
just remember that
I'm the biggest hypocrite of 2015
Once I finish this
witnesses will convey
just what I mean
I mean it's evident that
I'm irrelevant to society
That's what you're telling me
penitentiary would only hire me
Curse me till I'm dead
Church me with your
fake prophesizing
that I'mma be just another slave
in my head
Institutionalize
manipulation and lies
Reciprocation of freedom
only live in your eyes
You hate me don't you
I know you hate me just
as much as you hate yourself
Jealous of my wisdom
and cards I dealt
Watchin' me as I pull up
fill up my tank then peel out
Muscle cars like pull ups
show you what these
big wheels 'bout ah
Black and successful
this black man meant to be special
CAT scans on my radar bitch
how can I help you
How can I tell you
I'm making a killin'
You made me a killer
emancipation of a real nigga
The blacker the berry
the sweeter the juice
The blacker the berry
the sweeter the juice
The blacker the berry
the sweeter the juice
The blacker the berry
the bigger I shoot
I said they treat me
like a slave cah' me black
Woi we feel a whole
heap of pain cah' we black
And man a say they put me
in a chain cah' we black
Imagine now big gold chain
full of rocks
How you no see the whip
left scars pon' me back
But now we have a big whip
parked pon' the block
All them say we doomed
from the start cah' we black
Remember this every race
start from the block
just remember that
I'm the biggest hypocrite of 2015
When I finish this
if you listenin' then
sure you will agree
This plot is bigger than me
it's generational hatred
It's genocism it's grimy
little justification
I'm African American I'm African
I'm black as
the heart of a fuckin' Aryan
I'm black as
the name of Tyrone and Darius
Excuse my French
but fuck you no fuck y'all
That's as blunt as it gets
I know you hate me don't you
You hate my people I can tell
cause it's threats when I see you
I can tell cause your ways deceitful
Know I can tell because you're
in love with that Desert Eagle
Thinkin' maliciously
he get a chain then you gone bleed him
It's funny how Zulu
and Xhosa might go to war
Two tribal armies
that want to build and destroy
Remind me of these
Compton Crip gangs
that live next door
Beefin' with Pirus
only death settle the score
So don't matter how much I say
I like to preach with the Panthers
Or tell Georgia State
Marcus Garvey got all the answers
Or try to celebrate February
like it's my B Day
Or eat watermelon chicken
and Kool Aid on weekdays
Or jump high enough to get
Michael Jordan endorsements
Or watch BET cause
urban support is important
So why did I weep
when Trayvon Martin
was in the street
When gang banging make me kill
a nigga blacker than me
Hypocrite
Everything black I don't want black
I want everything black
I ain't need black
Some white some black
I ain't mean black
I want everything black
Everything black want
all things black
I don't need black want
everything black
Don't need black
Our eyes ain't black
I own black own
everything black
