Snoop Dogg - Because I'm Black lyrics

Is it because I'm black?
Somebody tell me, what can I do?
(Cause their ain't enough bars
To hold the the drama
That we've been through)

Right here, right now, I do declare
That I'm more than a gangster, mack
Pimp or a player
I swear I ain't never told on nobody
It started in '82 at a 'hood house party
Half Ded, Lil' Loc and my nephew D
Not knowin' what we do, but this is RTC
Heart sparked, puttin' flags in Tucane Park
I leave the house for school
But I come back after dark you feel me?

More power
More leadership - unifying Bloods and Crips
I used to smoke a pack a day
I used to have to pack a K
Now I've got brothers in suit's in my faculty
Pushin' peace in the streets - North, West
South and East student of the game
Yeah it's time to make a change
So I'm following, no more swine swallowin'
I'm gon' just walk the walk
Of a righteous man
Try my best to rewrite this plan
As-salamu alaykum, sir yeah, that's the plan

Yeah, I'm down with Obama just
To add a little drama
And I'm rollin' with the Nation
But I've been doin' that
Had a talk with my mama
Had to let her know that I'mma
Make a change, and she said: "baby
Go ahead and do that"
Farrakhan is a prophet and I know
It cause he show it and he told me
So I'm teachin' brothers how to be peace
What's wrong? We too strong
And if we all get along
They could never penetrate us
All they do is motivate us haters
The enemy is always watching
For leadership that will
Rise among black people because it is
Only by organizing effectively that
You can change
The reality under which we live
