The Blacker the Berry
• Written by TylerHustle
//[Intro]
Everything black, I don't want black
I want everything black, I ain't need black
Some white, some black, I ain't mean black
I want everything black
Everything black, want all things black
I don't need black, want everything black
Don't need black, Our eyes ain't black
I own black, own everything black
//[Bridge]
The cause is strong with unified Bloods and Crips
Scars still on our backs from the cracks of the whips
We ain't gon' keep stealing, we'll empty the clips
Trying not to fall for what comes out the white man's lips
//[Hook]
Stop killing us now, this for your own benefit
Stop killing us now, this for your own benefit
We'll be your nemesis, you'll never hear the end of it
Better remember this, we'll turn into terrorists
Stop killing us now, this for your own benefit
Stop killing us now, this for your own benefit
We'll be your nemesis, you'll never hear the end of it
Better remember this, this is just the genesis
//[Verse 1]
I'm the biggest hypocrite of two-thousand fifteen
Once I finish this, witnesses'll never unsee the scene
You come at my culture, but this scenario bites
But you better believe I'll rep all the stereotypes
I'll loot the stores so I won't rock some very old Nikes
I'll ball everyday for private aerial flights
But I won't make it, never will black boys fly
'less he sell rocks, you know that us black boys sly
You hate me, don't you? I know you hate me greatly
You hate all of our skins, even my homie, Stately
That's why all you ever do is kill me lately
It can't be helped, I'll make sure the world go crazy
I was born unable to handle any nouns and verbs
I was born to be a thug and these are only blurbs
It's the worst, but the media tells to snatch a purse
It's a curse, with my skin I was born with these nerves
//[Pre-Hook]
The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
The blacker the berry, the bigger I shoot
//[Hook]
Stop killing us now, this for your own benefit
Stop killing us now, this for your own benefit
We'll be your nemesis, you'll never hear the end of it
Better remember this, we'll turn into terrorists
Stop killing us now, this for your own benefit
Stop killing us now, this for your own benefit
We'll be your nemesis, you'll never hear the end of it
Better remember this, this is just the genesis
//[Verse 2]
I'm the biggest hypocrite of two-thousand fifteen
But for now, we need these streets to get a lil' clean
But I just can't intervene with the cops' genocide
They think we insects and their guns are pesticide
I'm sure the Constitution didn't have this specified
If it was, it's not well emphasized, but I'm petrified
I'm just fifteen, but I know cops'll shoot me dead
That's what every black boy in the streets here dread
Killing blacks even if they're our little daughters
Killing blacks whether they're only old men in walkers
I ain't playing no games anymore with you coppers
The entire world realizes you pigs are going bonkers
All you cops do is spill our African blood
So when you spill it, you say "it's just an accident, thug"
"It's just too many accidents are happening, thug"
But you accidentally shot 'em seven times in the abdomen, bud
//[Pre-Hook]
The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
The blacker the berry, the bigger I shoot
//[Hook]
Stop killing us now, this for your own benefit
Stop killing us now, this for your own benefit
We'll be your nemesis, you'll never hear the end of it
Better remember this, we'll turn into terrorists
Stop killing us now, this for your own benefit
Stop killing us now, this for your own benefit
We'll be your nemesis, you'll never hear the end of it
Better remember this, this is just the genesis
//[Verse 3]
I'm the biggest hypocrite of two-thousand fifteen
It's crazy what I seen, so I'm a fighting machine
I'm a monster, I'm a fiend, no ordinary teen
Always knowing I'm winning like a young Charlie Sheen
Justifying murder 'cause he drunk irresponsibly
Blaming black problems on blacks unconsciously
So systematic racism lives in a democracy
Said end white-on-black killings, blind to hypocrisy
I'm not winning today with our lives on the line
We're afraid, we've all got our deaths on our mind
It ain't easy, our family gets killed all the time
You stay killing black people like it's not even a crime
I'm just angry, refuse to be angry at myself
Refused to say I had a part in being expelled
What is done about this by the husband of Michelle
Like a child, instead of admitting, I rebel
How do I fix a problem telling myself these lies?
When I'm purposely blinding myself in my eyes
I'm sick and tired of seeing all my black brothers die
No matter the skin color of the hands of the guys
So I always rhyme about the cruelty after I weep
In my rage I tweet, I cage the beat, I can't even sleep
But why did I scream when Walter Scott was shot in the street
When gang banging make me kill kids who are blacker than me
//[Outro]
Hypocrite!
Hypocrite!
Hypocrite!
