Cinnamon Babe’s “Rock ‘N’ Roll Is Black” touches on one of the most ‘saying the quiet part out loud’ topics in entertainment culture – the typecasting of where black people do and do not feel embraced. From the fetishizing of black culture to the concept of what activities do and don’t fit with the...
Rock 'N’ Roll Is Black" Lyrics:
I'm taking my culture back
I'm taking my culture back
I’m taking my culture back
I'm taking my culture back
Cause rock and roll is black
I'm taking my culture back
I'm taking my culture back
I'm taking my culture back
I'm taking my culture back
Cause rock and roll is black
Hendricks flooding my blood stream
Rebel of this world, hear my screams
Ready to push the minority dream
The people who died to have me seen
They hate to have my words so political
Want me in my place to be traditional
Your image of me is based in fictional
I'm this deep Individual ready to speak
When I dress how I want, they call me a freak
When I talk how I want, thеy call me a geek
Y'all niggas don’t like me, bеcause you are weak
I’m not a doll or your little toy
I'm crazy ass beast that scares off the boys
Get off my page if you’re not ready for noise
Entity sent , designed to destroy
I'm here to corrupt not here to enjoy
I'm taking my culture back x4
Cause rock and roll is black
Your perspective is not based on reality
History's been erased in casualties
Books given scratched in white out
Now little brown boys got self doubt
Only care about beauty and clout
Now I’m careful what comes out my mouth
My purpose is bigger , my weapon is loaded
I can't just sit back and watch how y'all voted
Color consumed defeats the unity
Burn the hate inside this community
Can't fight back, we are fighting inside
Can't protect within the divide
Rep for the culture despite the flaws
His life is lost ,you bring up the law
Wanna bring up the past undercover hate
And fake prayer hands to get in the gate
I'm taking my culture back x4
Cause rock and roll is black
You thought the voice of the oppressed was yours?
You thought you were the voice of the oppressed?
You thought you were the unheard?
You thought you were the oppressed ?
You thought you were the unheard ?
Tell me I don't belong
This shits for me
Started by me
Created by me
In case you didn't hear, let me tell you the fuck again
Rock n roll is black x 4
Taking my motherfucking culture back
Don't you ever tell me I don't belong
That it ain't for me
Don't you ever tell me I'm in the wrong place
I made this fucking place
I'm taking my culture back x4
Cause rock n roll is black
