Is It Because I'm Black?
Chh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Is it because I'm black?
Chh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Is it because I'm black?
Chh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Is it because my skin, you don't want me to win?
Should the judge have a nigga holler master again?
Seen the police in my rearview, my license revoked
Car clouded from the gas that I don't even smoke
I let my cousin's stupid ass light his blunt in my show
I'm thinkin' 'bout Eric Garner with the hands on his throat
Told 'em that he couldn't breathe, they continued to choke
They got a life inside their hands and they cuttin' it short
Cnd they been tryin' to kill us all since we came on the boat
My time is here, big or rich, but my niggas is broke
We be the main motherf*ckers buyin' shit out of their store
That's why I'm at the Goodwill, shoppin' for me to cope
Black man at the store, kinda changed for a smoke
Flip a store on their corner, they been keepin' us low
It's time to liberate the people and prepare for the war
These smellin' and soldiers, they don't want you to know the score

Is it because I'm black?
Chh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Is it because I'm black?
Chh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I'm tryin' to liberate my people but their glands calcified
Tension in the air, you can smell a homicide
Cin't no hell or heaven, the Bible is a book
Had my niggas only got saved when they got sentences crook
Crackin' down good is all that it took
The judge looked you in your eyes and then he hit you with the book
Education on decline, I wanna pay the teachers
But they buildin' private prisons and then lockin' up our people
Out your motherf*ckin' mind if you think we all equal
Lies all around us, but it's true, all in my verses
Told my granny pack a pistol, they shootin' up these churches
Niggas wanna take your life when you livin' with your purpose
Keep your f*ckin' grass cut and watch out for the serpents
The devil all around us, I can feel him when he lurkin'
Be happy for your brother instead of tryin' to up here from him
Tryna take somethin' from him, ain't that cold?

Is it because I'm black?
Ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Is it because I'm black?
Ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
