Unforgivable Blackness

[Verse 1]
They wanna take away my black card, 'cause I gotta black card
Say I don't rap hard, 'cause I don't act hard
But if I act hard, they would say that's odd
And they will still hate, I don't get that part
I'm too poise to be one of the boys
Think I gotta man servant with your pride or toy
Why y'all so salty, too much sodium soy
Kill your brother and it's you that you only destroy
Why should I apologize
For my father's wallet size?
Now they wanna get volatile
Have my mother share the pain in Mrs. Wallace eyes
Nah, we done came too far
Why my brothers gotta fight like Mufasa and Scar
Get caught up in the system that they profiting off
And they don't see none of the profits at all, uh

[Chorus]
Look how far we've come
From singin' freedom songs
So why can't we get along
My brother, why you question if I'm as black as you?
(Uh, and to the homies I say you can't deny me my)
Unforgiveable blackness
Unforgiveable blackness
Unforgiveable blackness

[Verse 2]
I could see Malcolm at the podium
On the ground and Betty Shabazz holding 'em
He tried to fight it but his wounds took a toll on 'em
Dr. King, too, man it got both of 'em
The governments war for petroleum
And the streets too warm for control of it
Every hood from Oakland to Magnolia
Black men I don't know what came over us
Stop the silliness, my nigga
I would never really lynch my nigga
And I don't spell it with a "E-R"
I spell it with a "A" cause that is not what we are
We were once kings
Till we got consumed by material things
Womanizin' all the women that material brings
This hook is powerful let's hear it again, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Look how far we've come
From singin' freedom songs
So why can't we get along
My brother, why you question if I'm as black as you?
(Uh, and to the homies I say you can't deny me my)
Unforgiveable blackness
Unforgiveable blackness
Unforgiveable blackness

[Verse 3]
You think you know, but you don't know the half of it
I don't rap for the cash in it
I do it cause I'm passionate, it's my destiny, I have to spit
The real MC's I'm the last of it, uh
I ain't down, 'cause I ain't from the ghetto
Can't relate to Scarface, but I read Othello
I ain't from the projects, I'm more from the meadows
We've both seen racism on the same level
From Memphis to Zimbabwe
Y'all got the same blood that's in my veins
I ain't the enemy, so why you in my face
I ain't your enemy, so let's make peace

[Chorus]
Look how far we've come
From singin' freedom songs
So why can't we get along
My brother, why you question if I'm as black as you?
(Uh, and to the homies I say you can't deny me my)
Unforgiveable blackness
Unforgiveable blackness
Unforgiveable blackness
