Testo Unforgivable Blackness - Diggy
Testo della canzone Unforgivable Blackness (Diggy), tratta dall'album Unexpected Arrival
They wanna take away my black card 'cause I got a black card
Say I don't rap hard 'cause I don't act hard
But if I act hard, they would say that's odd
And they would still hate, I don't get that part
I'm too poised to be one of the boys
Think I got a man servant, Richard Pryor the toy
Why y'all so salty, too much sodium soy
Kill your brother and it's you that you only destroy, uh
Why should I apologize for my father's wallet size?
Now they wanna get volatile
How my mother shared the pain in Ms. Wallace eyes
Nah, we done came too far
Why my brothers gotta fight like Mufasa and Scar?
Get caught up in the system that they profiting off
And they don't see none of the profits at all, uh
Look how far we've come from singing freedom songs
So why can't we get along?
My brother, why you question if I'm as black as you?
Uh, and to the homies I say, you can't deny me my
Unforgivable blackness, unforgivable blackness, unforgivable, hey yeah
I could see Malcolm at the podium
On the ground and Betty Shabazz holding him
He tried to fight it but his wounds took a toll on him
Dr. King too, man, they got both of 'em
The government's war for petroleum
And the streets too warm for control of it
Every hood from Oakland to Magnolia
Black man, I don't know what came over us
Stop the silliness my nigga
I would never really lynch my nigga
And I don't spell it with a E-R
I spell it with a A 'cause that is not
What we are (What we are, what we are)
We were once kings 'til we got consumed by material things
Womanizing all the women that material brings
It's like it's powerful, let's hear it again, 'gain, 'gain
Look how far we've come from singing freedom songs
So why can't we get along?
My brother, why you question if I'm as black as you?
Uh, and to the homies I say, you can't deny me my (Hey)
Unforgivable blackness, unforgivable blackness, unforgivable, hey yeah
You think you know, but you don't know the half of it
I don't rap for the cash in it, I do it 'cause I'm passionate
It's my destiny, I have to spit
The real MCs, I'm the last of it, uh
I ain't down 'cause I ain't from the ghetto
Can't relate to Scarface but I read Othello
I ain't from the projects, I'm more from the meadows
We both seen racism on the same level
From Memphis to Zimbabwe
Y'all got the same blood that's in my veins
I ain't the enemy so why you in my face?
I ain't your enemy so let's make peace
Look how far we've come from singing freedom songs
So why can't we get along?
My brother, why you question if I'm as black as you?
Uh, and to the homies I say, you can't deny me my (Hey)
Unforgivable blackness, unforgivable blackness, unforgivable, hey yeah
