Somi - Black Enough (Live) Lyrics

Am I black enough for you?
I don't talk the way you do
You call me names and try to hurt me
Spit on the ground, hopin' to curse me
They say blood is thicker than water
But you look like my great grandfather
Walk by, suck teeth
I'm not black enough for you

Am I black enough for you?
You call my a God a stranger too
Turnin' your eyes like you don't see me
You only speak if it's a Sunday
Our lines erased with blood and water
Who's to say I'm not your lost daughter
Turn the other cheek
'Til I'm black enough for you

Black!
Black!
Blacker than you!
Blacker than me!
Blacker than you!
Blacker than...

Am I black enough for you
They could shoot my children too
It don't matter how you see me
We're still runnin' like the old days
Even if I'm not from here
Green cards don't save ya
I still look just like your mama
Not from here
Green cards don't save ya
I still look just like your mama
Not from here
Green cards don't save ya
I still look just like your mama
Hands up, don't shoot

Blacker than you
Blacker than me
Blacker than you
Blacker than me
Blacker than you
Blacker than me
Blacker than you
Blacker than...
They matter but so do we
They matter but so do we
Don't shoot!
Don't shoot!
Don't shoot!
Don't shoot!
