Tech N9ne, Brother J, Ice Cube, Krizz Kaliko - Blackboy lyrics

And I was told in school I was a fool
And money, I'd never gain none
But, I used my flow as a tool, they was cruel
Said I'd be no rapper
But, I did work and became one
Now it's a cryin' shame, I'm buyin' thangs
And they got debts they got to pay back
I think I know why my teachers would look
In my eye and say that and why's that?

'Cause, I'm a Blackboy came from nothin'
Don't mean my life means nothin'
Made it out the game through
The pain and sufferin'
Y'all don't think I see
Them purses y'all clutchin', i do
See I'm a Blackboy scared when you see me
Frauds disappear like a genie
Little white boys want to be me
But, you don't want to go
Through What I go through


True definition of a Blackboy

It must be the way that my pants sag
Or the sparklin' diamonds on the
Watch my left hand has
I know my appearance is lookin' like I am bad
In your department store all I wanna
Do is pop a damn tag made it honest
That's why the blacks get mad at you
Even foreigners shop and got big gratitude
I make more than you
But you got this attitude
Like I can't be shoppin' at Saks Fifth Avenue
I'm just tryin' to buy my
Baby some creed spring flower
But they don't know that the
Tecca Nina cheese means power
So they look at me like none
Of my breed brings valor
That's why when you see us
In passin' we seem sour
Last time I checked, my power chakras
I was on top of the indie
Charts and not a slotera
But, I'm the author of darkness
And I like the opera
So why when I'm at Macbeth they
Won't treat me more propera

'Cause, I'm a Blackboy came from nothin'
Don't mean my life means nothin'
Made it out the game through
The pain and sufferin'
Y'all don't think I see
Them purses y'all clutchin', i do
See I'm a Blackboy scared when you see me
Frauds disappear like a genie
Little white boys want to be me
But, you don't want to go
Through What I go through
True definition of a Blackboy

Frontline, shoot, soldiers represent that
Frontline, shoot, Grand Verb
It's the snatch back
Head wrapped in the desert
Boombox on the camel back
Escape from the clone lab
Fugitives spook black with finesse in you
It's the knowledge from way back
The prophet of the page don't eat
Right 'til it all cracks
Blackboy rappin' from the pages torn
Street scriptures more classic than
The Jimmy Crack Corn
A spawn of the movement
Keep the music movement
So my purpose stays clear and
My music stays groovin'
I do it for the real, I don't need Jena Six
For me to know America is
Still on that bullshit
So people think that black are
Just ball players and singers
That massa complex is what
Fuels the street bangers
And street soldiers to stand up
No choice to get it right
So these Blackboys can finally
Get they man up

'Cause, I'm a Blackboy came from nothin'
Don't mean my life means nothin'
Made it out the game through
The pain and sufferin'
Y'all don't think I see
Them purses y'all clutchin', i do
See I'm a Blackboy scared when you see me
Frauds disappear like a genie
Little white boys want to be me
But, you don't want to go
Through What I go through
True definition of a Blackboy

I'm a Blackboy and
Always gettin' underestimated
But when I move next door, I know you hate it
You had my whole family investigated
And when they didn't find no crack
You said I ate it
Uh uh, a motherfucker just elevated
Over ghetto life that was designated
You see this Blackboy
You know heaven made it
I don't want to go if I got to integrate it
Little colored boy, be happy you made it
Just take what you got and stop complainin'
Ok, weather man will stop the rainin'
On my people head, and start explainin'
What your people said, believe in the Bible
But, you still act barbaric and psycho
My name is Ice Cube, bitch, it ain't Michael
I'll never bleach my own skin
Just to be like you

'Cause, I'm a Blackboy came from nothin'
Don't mean my life means nothin'
Made it out the game through
The pain and sufferin'
Y'all don't think I see
Them purses y'all clutchin', i do
See I'm a Blackboy scared when you see me
Frauds disappear like a genie
Little white boys want to be me
But, you don't want to go
Through What I go through
