Black Enough

Am I black enough for you? I don't talk the way you do You call me names and try to hurt me Spit on the ground, hopin' to curse me They say blood is thicker than water But you look like my great grandfather Walk by, suck teeth I'm not black enough for you? Am I black enough for you? You call my a God a stranger too Turnin' your eyes like you don't see me You only speak if it's a Sunday Our lines erased through blood and water Who's to say I'm not your lost daughter? Turn the other cheek 'Til I'm black enough for you Oh! Ah! Black! Black! Blacker than you! Blacker than me! Blacker than you! Blacker than... Am I black enough for you? They could shoot my children too It don't matter how you see me We're still runnin' like the old days Even if I'm not from here Green cards don't save ya I still look just like your mama Not from here Green cards don't save ya I still look just like your mama Not from here Green cards don't save ya I still look just like your mama Hands up, don't shoot Blacker than you Blacker than me Blacker than you Blacker than me Blacker than you Blacker than me Blacker than you Blacker than... Blacker than you Blacker than me Blacker than you Blacker than me They matter but so do we They matter but so do we Don't shoot! Don't shoot! Don't shoot! Don't shoot! Don't shoot! Don't shoot! Don't shoot! Don't shoot! Thank you Thanks for having me
