Black and White

Now it's a everyday struggle, I hustle just to live
Dash me out the car and wanna ask me who the car fuck

I see the copper be tryin' to nail me

And this goes to every woman, man, boy and girl
Pick the best man for the job

So many people have dreams
You heard me?
Still we all equals, how do you figure?
But lookit, I ain't racist, but face it, it exists
What about all of the people that died in the past?
But I'm gonna give you a ticket 'cause you a nigger"
But why Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves and started smilin'?
P, pray for your little brother
Correctional facilities full of juveniles doin' petty crimes
And tell me Hilfiger discriminate and sell us clothes
Whether we wanna be judges, doctors, or lawyers
I'm tryin' but sometime I get fed up
I'm just a black man trapped in this white world
Should be able to live wherever you want
I'm just a black man trapped in this white world
And only God can judge or point the finger
Police constantly trailin' me
I seen the hardest of my homies break down in tears

And they tell us to be proud to be black
(I'm just a black man trapped in this white world)
We live in the world for the laws and no rules
And this goes to every woman, man, boy, and girl

We all got the same opportunity
And at the same time, Uncle John shoot us in the back

I'm just a black man trapped in this white world
Only the real could feel this, huh

(Damn)
Silkk, keep your head up
And there shouldn't be no hatin'
I'm just a black man trapped in this white world
I'm just a black man trapped in this white world

And blue, equals gang banging

I'm a black man in a white man's world
'Cause I'm young, rich, and black

Peers, I can't get back with too many found guilty
In this ghetto, got me crazy
Y'all know it ain't a black and white thing with me
I'm just a black man trapped in this white world
I'm just a black man trapped in this white world
But we can't blame him 'cause
I'm colorblind, so Lord won't you feel my pain?
I'm a black man
It is 'cause we violent?
And this goes to every woman, man, boy, and girl

But why society eliminated Martin Luther King?
They got me thinkin' the color of my skin is a sin
I'm just a black man trapped in this white world
Where you live, if you can afford to buy a house
Where it's set up for me not to win
And all the money can't change the color of your skin
But he called me a nigger
And this goes to every woman, man, boy, and girl
Should give that same hospitality and companionship to your neighbors
I'm just a black man trapped in this white world
Ain't a black or white thing
I'm just a black man trapped in this white world
They allowed to carry guns, can't never be convicted
To raise your kids when they got them teachin' them
Underneath, ain't no black or white

I'm just a black man trapped in this white world
We all equal, we all equal
And I know they didn't do it but still they can't get back

They look at us like we ain't shit
A white judge looked them in the eyes and gave them thirty-five years
I'm just a black man trapped in this white world
Why so many blacks and Mexicans in the pen?
I'm guilty till proven innocent
We don't support the black stores
Who that law fuck?

Check this out
I just make music for the reality
No jobs, most blacks turn to street money
I'm just a black man trapped in this white world
Their parents better than them

The same hospitality they give to athletes and movie stars
I'm always under surveillance
Independence, it's a free country
Lookit, ain't that about a bitch

And the color of my skin might taint me
Cop told me, "You weren't speeding
Gang-bangers, crease sides and chalk lines
But it's a shame when you gotta raise a baby
It's a shame when you can't send your kids to decent schools
And what's white or black and red
Sometimes I wish, mama wouldn'ta made me
I'm colorblind, so Lord won't you feel my pain?
(Hold on, hold on trapped in this white world)
Where found history books about white laws
I'm just a black man trapped in this white world
A bunch of ghetto, full of drugs and alcohol
