1
[Verse 1: Tech N9ne]
2
And I was told in school I was a fool and money, I'd never gain none
3
But I used my flow as a tool, they was cruel
4
Said I'd be no rapper, but I did work and became one
5
Now it's a cryin' shame, I'm buyin' things and they got debts they got to pay back
6
I think I know why my teachers would look in my eye and say that
7
And whys that?
8
[Chorus: Big Krizz Kaliko]
9
Cause I'm a Blackboy
10
Came from nothing, don't mean my life means nothin'
11
Made it out the game through the pain and sufferin'
12
Yall don't think I see them purses yall clutchin? (I do)
13
See I'm a Blackboy
14
Scared when you see me, frauds disappear like a genie
15
Little white-boys want to be me
16
But you don't want to go through What I go through
17
True definition of a Blackboy
18
[Verse 2: Tech N9ne]
19
It must be the way that my pants sag
20
Or the sparklin' diamonds on the watch my left hand has
21
I know my appearance is looking like I am bad
22
In your department store all I wanna do is pop a damn tag
23
Made it honest, that's why the blacks get mad at you
24
Even foreigners shop and got big gratitude
25
I make more than you, but you got the attitude
26
Like I can't be shoppin' at Saks Fifth Avenue
27
I'm just tryin' to buy my baby some creed spring flower
28
But they don't know that the Tecca Nina cheese means power
29
So they look at me like none of my breed brings valor
30
Thats why when you see us in passing we seem sour
31
Last time I checked, my power shockeras
32
I was on top of the indy charts and not a slotera
33
But I'm the author of darkness and I like the opera
34
So why when I'm at Macbeth they wont treat me more propera?
35
[Chorus]
36
[Verse 3: Brother J]
37
Frontline, shoot, soldiers represent that
38
Frontline, shoot, Grand Verb, it's the snatch back
39
Head wrapped in the desert, boombox on the camel back
40
Escape from the clone lab, fugitives spook black
41
With finesse in you, its the knowledge from way back
42
The prophet of the page don't eat right till it all cracks
43
Blackboy rappin' from the pages torn
44
Street scriptures more classic than the Jimmy Cracked Corn
45
A spawn of the movement, keep the music movement
46
So my purpose stays clear and my music stays groovin'
47
I do it for the real, I don't need Jena Six
48
For me to know America is still on that bullshit
49
So people think that black are just ball players and singers
50
That massa complex is what fuels the street bangers
51
And street soldiers to stand up
52
No choice to get it right, so these Blackboys can finally get they man up
53
[Chorus]
54
[Verse 4: Ice Cube]
55
I'm a Blackboy and always gettin' underestimated
56
But when I move next door, I know you hate it
57
You had my whole family investigated
58
And when they didn't find no crack, you said I ate it
59
Uh-uh, a motherfucker just elevated
60
Over ghetto life that was designated
61
You see this Blackboy, you know heaven made it
62
I don't want to go if I got to integrate it
63
You know pellot boy, be happy you made it
64
Just take what you got, and stop complainin'
65
OK, weather man will stop the rainin'
66
On my people head, and start explainin'
67
What your people said, believe in the bible
68
But you still act barbaric and psycho
69
My name is Ice Cube, bitch, it ain't Michael
70
I'll never bleach my own skin just to be like you
71
[Chorus]
