Lyrics

Yeah
Better believe that slick
Ha ha, ha
Yeah
I thought you said you was the G-O-D
Sound like another **** to me
Yeah, I thought you said you was the G-O-D
You sound like another **** to me
Shit, what a **** do, what a **** does
And a **** is what a **** was
And a **** done read history but yet his eyes didn't see
The only reason you a **** 'cause somebody else want you to be
What a **** uneducated, integrated, saying "We shall overcome"
A **** trying to be white is what it seem like a **** have become
And when they call me **** to my face, can't do nothing but walk away
But here it is, **** call other **** **** each and every day
Dividing and conquering when they
Say the lighter shade's black cocaine
After the middle class, they passing by
The projects laughing at where we stay
Since then, **** done got grown, had a little bit of **** on my own
Should've known I couldn't show 'em no better than I was shown
Shit, I still wanna hit the club as fresh as I can be
Really, it's all for another **** to see
You know how a **** get when he see another **** outfit
Don't want nobody to have what he ain't got
Somebody get drunk, get mad and get shot
That's why the property value ain't no good in a **** neighborhood
A **** could overstand if he only understood
I'm sick of lying, I'm sick of poor fine dying
I'm sick of not trying, I'm sick of being a ****
Destiny sent me to this dread and she said she felt led
To offer me some wisdom from this little book she read
And it said a great deal of the black man's downfall
Is not knowing that we were never **** at all
And as she looked deep into my eyes and said
"Brother, don't you know?
You complain about being black when they
Mad 'cause they can't be black no more"
So many black men out here trying to be ****
Keeping it real to the point that they dying to be ****
When in actuality, the fact is
You ain't a **** 'cause you black, you a **** 'cause of how you act
But you don't want me to tell you the truth
So I'm gon' lie to you, make it sound fly to you
You don't wanna hear the truth
So I'ma lie to you, make it sound fly to you
Shit
The **** experience
The **** experience
As been stated, it was created
The **** experience
