[00:00.917] 作曲 : Berwyn Du Bois
[00:01.834]I am Black, I'm Black
[00:06.694]I am Black, Black
[00:11.754]I am Black, I'm Black
[00:16.771]I am Black, Black
[00:23.047]Heavenly Father, sorry to bother
[00:25.304]I know you got a lotta shit that you gotta
[00:27.320]Deal with, but on some real shit
[00:29.376]Right now I'm in a bother and thought I should holler, yeah
[00:32.441]Heavenly Father, sorry to bother
[00:34.447]How come me and my brother were born in the gutter?
[00:36.712]How come everybody there was a similar colour?
[00:39.223]Do you fight for one side and not for the other? Uh
[00:42.733]Put some Black in my step
[00:43.983]Tell them, "Run me my check"
[00:45.250]I want money, respect
[00:46.277]I am Black, so it's difficult loving myself
[00:48.809]I am Black and I'm not tryna run from myself
[00:52.071]Blacker the berry the sweeter the juice
[00:54.095]Turning nothing into something is something we do
[00:56.359]They wanna see us sing blues and die on the news
[00:58.869]Pour some juice and scream from the roof
[01:01.139]I am Black, hmm, I'm Black
[01:06.402]I am Black, I'm Black
[01:10.926]I am Black, hmm, I'm Black
[01:16.216]I am Black, I'm Black (yeah, Black, I am Black)
[01:21.746]Heavenly Father, sorry to bother
[01:23.551]But I can't really wait 'til the day when we meet in nirvana
[01:26.311]Brother, sorry, this is something you gotta do
[01:28.570]Are you like me? You're from the gutter and love all the drama too
[01:31.108]'Cause I'm losing my religion and REM sleep
[01:33.442]In these streets, we play for keeps, it's hardly that deep
[01:35.989]Imagine living life scared you could die on the streets
[01:38.506]Any day any week, mothers pray and they weep
[01:41.018]I hate that everybody dropped the same color as me
[01:43.523]He's the same color as me, but he's ****ing with me
[01:46.041]Now I'm walking down the strip with some blood on my cheek
[01:48.295]'Cause somebody called me a "nigga" and ****ed with my chi
[01:50.879]Now I'm walking down the strip with some blood on my face
[01:53.456]Heavenly Father, do you know how much blood I have tasted?
[01:55.966]All my brothers looked to demons for father replacements
[01:58.491]'Cause our fathers ****ed off so our mums couldn't raise us
[02:00.993]**** your angels, how the **** you expect me to praise them?
[02:03.171]They probably kill and steal just like us, I won't know which ones I could trust
[02:05.681]Heavenly Father, I know you're not the one to blame for this shit
[02:08.207]But some days it feels like I'm out here just taking blame for this shit
[02:10.717]Heavenly Father, do you know how long I been taking this shit?
[02:13.226]We carried blades for this shit
[02:14.481]I grew up with an idea that they gave us AIDS in this shit
[02:16.738]Man, I got raised in this shit, start explaining this shit
[02:19.263]And I ain't praising you till you give me some praise in this shit
[02:21.774]They see my face and they think I am just a slave on a ship
[02:24.290]We had to slave for this shit, they killed our greats for this shit
[02:27.056]Rest in peace Bob Marley, you're a saint in this shit
[02:30.565]You will never catch man around no fake crowd
[02:32.838]And I will never lie down when they say stay down
[02:35.434]I never got to play ball in the playground
[02:37.688]Too busy moving 8-balls in the playground
[02:40.257]I am Black, I am Black, hmm
[02:45.273]I'm Black, Black
[02:50.071]I am Black, I am Black, hmm
[02:55.342]I'm Black (yeah), Black, I'm Black
[03:00.864]Heavenly Father, thank you for the sun in the sky
[03:03.381]And thank you for a reason for life
[03:05.475]Thank you for the things they'll never steal
[03:07.226]Send me a sign to show me you're real, you don't know how this feels
[03:10.556]Heavenly Father, excuse my rage
[03:12.339]I don't know why it is how it is but it's how it has stayed
[03:15.102]And it's probably the shit that my grandkids will face
[03:17.360]Anyway I'm gone, if I need you I'll holler again
[03:19.952]Bye
[03:22.746]I'm Black, I am Black
[03:27.010]I am Black
[03:29.273]I am Black
[03:31.777]I am Black, I am Black
