New Black
VERSE:

Am an A-F-R-I-C-A-N
I c-a-n some say amen
See our men on the CNN
And they arming when disease will end
Please don't tell that we stuck in hell
Tell Lil Wayne that  its tough out here
Cops i fear my brothers in there
Trying to make sense of this life Nasir
Reasonable doubt no reason to doubt
Ready to die so i said my goodbyes
Tired of good guy on the pad perspire
Scribbling thoughts looking up on higher
How do i make a difference?
Just talking is that ambivalence
But maybe one voice can difference
The inference a lil spark its significant

Chorus:
This is the New Black
Remember that black will never crack, oh yeahh
This is the New Black
Remember that black will never crack, oh yeahh
VERSE:

Reprogram what you programmed you know fam
A real brother dont snitch no uncle sams?
Just Roxannes babies to the slow jams
No definition of the blackness
But then we blacklist when we think hes not this
But then a right fist up and ten kids
No money or the visits pending
Hes a wasteman but hes real real
Hes a wasteman they say hes real real
But hes not cos his ebonics is missing?
They dismiss him like hes not one of those
Black Conservatives we having none of those
Black Republicans we think they comatose
Now whose Judas in Damascus asks us
Who will improve us,that gangsta ask us?
Mask in tow hes no Nat King Cole
Black skin glow but hes masking so
Hes amassing gold but he act so low
But is he solo no its the tag team show
Pinnochios now stuck in chains
The Black Peter Pan so we call him 2 Chainz
I dont mean to slag off I could just back off
But real talk is real talk no Matlock
Might be uneasy but wax on wax off
Me aggy (Myagi) excuse me when am blasting off
Cruising through in a Maybach that is not my song
Reflection Eternal De la soul am basking
And Blueprint lets get free put my lights on
Chorus:
This is the New Black
Remember that black will never crack, oh yeahh
This is the New Black
Remember that black will never crack, oh yeahh
I made it through the storm cos ive always been me
I made it through the storm cos ive always been me
I made it through the storm cos ive always been me
I made it through the storm cos ive always been me

VERSE:

Blueprint lets get free put my lights on
And Steve Biko pushed me from that eagle
And Nelson pushed me towards cerebral
Towards empowerment of all people
And am starting in my home and am not evil
Say it how it is if it offends my people
A lot of us guys we really need to wake up
Grow the f up your weapon is lethal
Swinging your sword like the Highlander sequel
Analyse  deceitful bounced from your people
The prequel your father also drive through
So why do false idols will deny you
And now you do same ish he denied you
Became him man you swore it wasn't in you
Fatherless home to the barrel of the chrome
Looked up to the gangsta in the box in his home
Chorus:
This is the New Black
Remember that black will never crack
This is the New Black
Remember that black will never crack
I made it through the storm cos ive always been me
I made it through the storm cos ive always been me
I made it through the storm cos ive always been me
I made it through the storm cos ive always been me
