Blackboy Lyrics

Blackboy lyrics

[Verse 1 - Tech N9ne]

And I was told in school I was a fool and money, I'd
never gain none

but I used my flow as a tool, they was cruel

said
I'd be no rapper, but I did work and became one

Now it's a cryin shame,
I'm buyin thangs and they got debts they got to pay back

I think I know
why my teachers would look in my eye and say that...

And why's that?



[Chorus - Big Krizz Kaliko]

Cuz I'm a Blackboy...

Came
from nothing, don't mean my life means nothin

Made it out the game
through the pain and sufferin

Y'all don't think I see them purses y'all
clutchin? (I do)

See I'm a Blackboy...

Scared when you see me,
frauds disappear like a genie

Little whiteboys want to be me

but
you don't want to go through What I go through...

true definition of a
Blackboy



[Verse 2 - Tech N9ne]

It must be the way that my
pants sag

or the sparklin diamonds on the watch my left hand has

I
know my appearance is looking like I am bad

In your department store all
I wanna do is pop a damn tag

Made it honest, that's why the blacks get
mad at you

Even foreigners shop and got big graditude

I make more
than you, but you got the additude

Like I can't be shoppin at Saks Fifth
Avenue

I'm just tryin to buy my baby some creed spring flower

But
they don't know that the Tecca Nina cheese means power

So they look at me
like none of my breed brings valor

Thats why when you see us in passing we
seem sour

Last time I checked, my power shockeras

I was on top of
the indy charts and not a slotera

but I'm the author of darkness and I
like the opera

So why when I'm at Macbeth they wont treat me more
propera?



[Chorus - Big Krizz Kaliko]

Cuz I'm a
Blackboy...

Came from nothing, don't mean my life means nothin

Made
it out the game through the pain and sufferin

Y'all don't think I see them
purses y'all clutchin? (I do)

See I'm a Blackboy...

Scared when you
see me, frauds disappear like a genie

Little whiteboys want to be me

but you don't want to go through What I go through...

true definition
of a Blackboy



[Verse 3 - Brother J]

Frontline... shoot,
soldiers represent that

Frontline... shoot, Grand Verb, it's the snatch
back

Head wrapped in the desert, boombox on the camel back

Escape
from the clone lab, fugitives spook black

With finesse in you, its the
knowledge from way back

The prophet of the page dont eat right till it
all cracks

Blackboy rappin from the pages torn

Street scriptures
more classic than the Jimmy Cracked Corn

A spawn of the movement, keep
the music movement

So my purpose stays clear and my music stays
groovin

I do it for the real, I don't need Jena Six

for me to know
America is still on that bullshit

So people think that black are just
ball players and singers

That massa complex is what fuels the street
bangers

and street soldiers to stand up

No choice to get it right,
so these Blackboys can finally get they man up



[Chorus - Big Krizz
Kaliko]

Cuz I'm a Blackboy...

Came from nothing, don't mean my life
means nothin

Made it out the game through the pain and sufferin

Y'all don't think I see them purses y'all clutchin? (I do)

See I'm a
Blackboy...

Scared when you see me, frauds disappear like a genie

Little whiteboys want to be me

but you don't want to go through What I
go through...

true definition of a Blackboy



[Verse 4 - Ice
Cube]

I'm a Blackboy and always gettin underestimated

But when I
move next door, I know you hate it

You had my whole family
investigated

and when they didn't find no crack, you said I ate it

Uh-uh, a motherfucker just elevated

over ghetto life that was
designated

You see this Blackboy, you know heaven made it

I don't
want to go if I got to integrate it

You know pellot boy, be happy you
made it

Just take what you got, and stop complainin

Ok, weather man
will stop the rainin

on my people head, and start explainin

what
your people said, believe in the bible

but you still act barbaric and
psycho

My name is Ice Cube, bitch, it ain't Michael

I'll never
bleach my own skin just to be like you



[Chorus - Big Krizz
Kaliko]

Cuz I'm a Blackboy...

Came from nothing, don't mean my life
means nothin

Made it out the game through the pain and sufferin

Y'all don't think I see them purses y'all clutchin? (I do)

See I'm a
Blackboy...

Scared when you see me, frauds disappear like a genie

Little whiteboys want to be me

but you don't want to go through What I
go through...
