[Intro]
Yeah
[Verse 1]
I say oh, I'm one of them thick-lipped colored men
Yes I jump high, yes I can dunk a ring
I like my jeans and my tees tall
Guess I got a kinda decent free throw
But I ain't got the thickest of nostrils, nah
Yeah I don't really listen to gospel, nah
No I ain't ever tried Kool-Aid
Nor that watermelon, chicken or waffles, yo
[Chorus]
And I'm way too white to be a black kid right
So why am I talking?
Not enough to live that white kid life
So I'ma get to walking, yeah
Am I ever ever gon' quite fit right?
Does no one know my pain?
Maybe Mikey might
[Verse 2]
But still I'm feeling like I
Couldn't finish a sentence if it was written well
But I can finish a sentence up in the prison cell
Why they living well and we sit in jail?
Y'all say this all good while we live in hell
So I figured that this stigma sticking to my pigment
Really got me feeling that I probably should rebel, huh?
But I didn't man, once I looked around
Straight back down at my skin and thought
[Chorus]
You way too white to be a black kid right
So why am I talking?
Not enough to live that white kid life
So I'ma get to walking
Am I ever ever gon' quite fit right?
Does no one know my pain?
Oh, maybe Mikey might
[Bridge]
Yeah, maybe Mikey might, might, might, yeah
Think about it yeah, I might be right, right, right, right
Yeah, I think I might be right, I might be, might be, oh yeah-yeah
I think I might be right
You're Mr. Lightskin type
See
[Outro]
Y'all gon' pull up with jealousy in the coupe
No elephant in the room, that's melanin in the room
So all them white boys dabbing 'cause melanin is a mood
You never put that in reverse 'cause you know mood just spells doom that way
And we goin' once again
I'm tryna make this right, ah
It's never worked
Yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah
