The Blacker The Berry (Explicit)

The Blacker The Berry (Explicit) - Kendrick Lamar (肯德里克·拉馬爾)/Assassin/Lalah Hathaway

Six in the morn' fire in the street

Burn baby burn that's all I wanna see

And sometimes I get off watchin' you die in vain

It's such a shame they may call me crazy

They may say I suffer from schizophrenia or somethin'

But homie you made me

Black don't crack my ni**a

I'm the biggest hypocrite of 2015

Once I finish this witnesses will convey just what I mean

Been feeling this way since I was 16 came to my senses

You never liked us anyway f**k your friendship I meant it

I'm African-American I'm African

I'm black as the moon heritage of a small village

Pardon my residence

Came from the bottom of mankind

My hair is nappy my d**k is big my nose is round and wide

You hate me don't you

You hate my people your plan is to terminate my culture

You're f**kin' evil I want you to recognize that I'm a proud monkey

You vandalize my perception but can't take style from me

And this is more than confession

I mean I might press the button just so you know my discretion

I'm guardin' my feelings I know that you feel it

You sabotage my community makin' a k**lin'

You made me a k**ler emancipation of a real ni**a

The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice

The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice

The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice

The blacker the berry the bigger I s***t

I said they treat me like a slave cah' me black

Woi we feel a whole heap of pain cah' we black

And man a say they put me inna chains cah' we black

Imagine now big gold chains full of rocks

How you no see the whip left scars pon' me back

But now we have a big whip parked pon' the block

All them say we doomed from the start cah' we black

Remember this every race start from the black remember that

I'm the biggest hypocrite of 2015

Once I finish this witnesses will convey just what I mean

I mean it's evident that I'm irrelevant to society

That's what you're telling me penitentiary would only hire me

Curse me till I'm dead

Church me with your fake prophesizing that I'mma be just another slave in my head

Institutionalized manipulation and lies

Reciprocation of freedom only live in your eyes

You hate me don't you

I know you hate me just as much as you hate yourself

Jealous of my wisdom and cards I dealt

Watchin' me as I pull up fill up my tank then peel out

Muscle cars like pull ups show you what these big wheels 'bout ah

Black and successful this black man meant to be special

Katzkins on my radar b**ch how can I help you

How can I tell you I'm making a k**lin'

You made me a k**ler emancipation of a real ni**a

The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice

The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice

The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice

The blacker the berry the bigger I s***t

I said they treat me like a slave cah' me black

Woi we feel a whole heap of pain cah' we black

And man a say they put me inna chains cah' we black

Imagine now big gold chains full of rocks

How you no see the whip left scars pon' me back

But now we have a big whip parked pon' the block

All them say we doomed from the start cah' we black

Remember this every race start from the black remember that

I'm the biggest hypocrite of 2015

When I finish this if you listenin' then sure you will agree

This plot is bigger than me it's generational hatred

It's genocism it's grimy little justification

I'm African-American I'm African

I'm black as the heart of a f**kin' Aryan

I'm black as the name of Tyrone and Darius

Excuse my French but f**k you no f**k y'all

That's as blunt as it gets I know you hate me don't you

You hate my people I can tell cause it's threats when I see you

I can tell cause your ways deceitful

Know I can tell because you're in love with that Desert Eagle

Thinkin' maliciously he get a chain then you gone bleed him

It's funny how Zulu and Xhosa might go to war

Two tribal armies that want to build and destroy

Remind me of these Compton Crip gangs that live next door

Beefin' with Pirus only death settle the score

So don't matter how much I say I like to preach with the Panthers

Or tell Georgia State "Marcus Garvey got all the answers"

Or try to celebrate February like it's my BDay

Or eat watermelon chicken and KoolAid on weekdays

Or jump high enough to get Michael Jordan endorsements

Or watch BET cause urban support is important

So why did I weep when Trayvon Martin was in the street

When gang banging make me k**l a ni**a blacker than me

Hypocrite
