Proud to Be Black

[Kamron]
Born... of the caucasion persuasion
To some I'm a threat, to others it's amazin'
That a man of my shade could rip the crowd and get paid
But just keep in mind from the street I was made
As if a misfit, some sort of social disobedient
That train of thought has been taught
Was feedin' a stereotype, so as the stereo hype
From the boom of the track, just sit back with the white
I'm ready rollin'. What! I'm ready rollin'. What!
I'm ready rollin', I'm rollin'
I'm rollin' with the head on
The funk, the funk, I was bred on
Reality to keep, and it's you by the shot
But we're not here to teach lessons
Just here to ask questions
Why I'm looked at and judged by my verbal expressions
And why does my family feel that they curse
'Cause my Levis sag and my hat's in reverse
So both my DJs cut the record when the rhyme's in rehearse
It's not something we're new to, it's something we grew to
These questions spark rage, society, a few too
The fight in the plight, of humanity, sanity
I don't strive for vanity, see no wealth was handed to me
So don't confront me, I'm cozy and comfy
In my state of position we're here to cause a transition
From your old state of mind into a new day and time
And if you don't like my rhyme then yo kiss my behind
Cause I'm a say what I wanna say, do what I wanna do
Displayin' my feelin's until the bassline is through
And some might say that I'm wack, and some might say I act black
But which is black for a fact, and in fact I'm proud to be black

[Firstborn]
Now back to the track, in fact
Let's get back to the swing of things
You heard the KAM and the views he brings
Now Firstborn in a rage begins the next phase
So place your wagers on the Young Black Teenagers
'Cause no... more, well I endure, so be sure
I got to triple those minds of your awe
Prepare yourself to enter a zone
Of three lost children on the microphone
Showin' new styles, lyrics and maze form
Well above the norm and a hell of a brain storm
The street was our survival, and at times we'll
Try to do anything, so weak in our protection
Definitely lost, tryin' to find a new direction
A path, somethin' to follow on the right track
Prayin' that one day
We don't go back into subliminal
How to do a literal
Early in my days I was thinkin' like a criminal
Now I'm on the new hype
Showin' you all a new type
Of rhymin' poetical skills like a rebel
Goin' to the top on the masterpiece level
On my way up I was visioned as one
An appearance of a brother accepted by none
Because of my color they tried to judge like another
But what does one thing have to do with the other
So to whom it may concern here's a fact
That the minute ya hear rap ya think black
Well here's how it is to put the cause on a tape
Is that a crime he chose to rhyme, now it's Miller time
Your first impression is how I act
Let me drop it like this in fact I'm proud to be black

[Tommy Never]
Pride was once put into my fury
Stated of side disguised, now hear me
Color, the side one's on
One's position or opinion- what's it's based upon
Respect- demanded by the people
All concerns'll be viewed as equal
If you're quick to criticize, it's time to realize
The views you use is not seen in my eyes
Dignity- a level of worth
An individual independence since the day of birth
My youth is now history it never was a mystery
The branch of my knowledge was passed down then gived to me
Now it takes a nation of millions
Billions, zillions, and we're still young...
Black teenagers, rippin' the stages
Girls of all ages, are all amazed this
Group is droppin' and proven that
It ain't where you're from it's where you're at
Back in the days we were raised like that
Cause you can't teach a dog to be cat
New styles, new rules
New facts, that's why we're proud to be black
