I am a brown guy
But don't call me nigga, please
Nigga please, you see that white boy, that's a nigga b
Nigga ain't a color, it's a mindstate, you diggin' me?
Maybe not, I get it tho
But all them white boys blowin' weed they some niggas too
The difference is they got [Fm7]white privileges
Cops will kill me but I doubt that they kill 'em [A]too
This ain't a stab or a jab
But I'm feeling kinda mad they ain't tɾeated like [F]a villain too
His weed is good as mine, his gun bigger than mine
And he motherfucking chilling too
Now if my [A]color make you [A7hate me then I hope you [A7go blind
And can't see what your children do
Now that sound kinda harsh
But you [A7would feel like [F]I feel if you [A7had black children too
Racism make you [A7sayin' and [Bm]I shoulda have your man
Sittin' there with the sick face
A dickface, you [A7a dickhead
And what you [A7gonna to [C7]with all [Em]the people from a mixed ɾace
America is a sick place (you [A7know)
But we paint it to [C7]be [Am]good
This is big city talk that we spreadin' worldwide
Coming from a humble nigga coming out a poor hood, ghost
Styles P, Talib Kweli, The Seven
Life of a brown guy
Travel 'round the would with the name of a Muslim man
Now there are some up- and [Bm]some downsides
The downside is niggas get their spinal cord shattered in police vans
I ain't a Muslim but my [A]friends is
Grew up Christian now I'm sorta spiritual I know it's cliché
I see colors in the music
We switch it up, you [A7see the gods mix it up like [F]a DJ
You say you're hating based on [C7]ɾace, huh
And that you're colorblind and [Bm]you [A7like [F]Hip-Hop
Like that's some kind of call [Em]like [F]you [A7can't get punched in the face, huh
That's why the Hindus and [Bm]the Sikhs being abused by Islamoρhobes
Extɾemism is ugly no matter what or where
People who don't believe in god kill all [Em]the time
The Bible more violent than the Quran, you [A7see what's in there?
Ain't no belief system [A]got [Fm7]a monopoly on [C7]all [Em]the crime
I judge a man by his actions and [Bm]by his enemies
But they don't show themselves without a good ɾeason
This ain't a TV show, nigga
They think they know the hood cause they seen The Wire, the good seasons
I don't need your sympathy
I don't need your empathy your opinion [C7]is not ɾequired here
That's why you're hidin' on [C7]the Internet
'Cause all [Em]that 'Nigga'-shit you're writin' will probably get you [A7fired, yeah
Fucked up, too
