Hard 2 Be Black

[Verse One: C-Murder]

Yeah it's hard to be us

We pray to god so in god we trust

We must cease enough

Cuz its unjust

Can't touch my green dubs

[?] cold heart in me

I see the boys in the making in my building

Children no pop guns yep they got real ones

Nobody feel them but me yeah I really feel them

That's why I'm still in the jets and I got millions

We love souls

Hate it for hell  the cross roads

Genocide I don't care if I die nigga my heart froze

I smoke dose I'm killing myself with the same Glock

I can't stop I got that thang under my tank top

So I roam like Trayvon to clip my hair

I drank and a beer and shit and tear plus my momma said

Well you gon' die soon

So I look up to the moon

And say fuck it with the middle finger I'm a goon

[Hook x2: C-Murder]

Nowadays it's hard to be black

Gotta watch my back they see me running and packed cause nowadays it's hard to be black

[Verse Two: Boosie Badazz]

It's hard to be black and even harder

When your money flowing like water

Some won't be a thug

So son won't be his father

Judge he turned his nose up, sinners is bad

Life with no parole, how they sell us is black

9 times out of 10, we killing our own kind

Liquor stores on every corner to kill us in due time

I ain't lying my race got no peace

Uh, shoot me in the back but run from the police

It's so hard being me- a successful nigga

Got these devils pissed off at my complexion nigga

Cause I'm black seem like it's so hard to get high

Cause I'm black seem like it's easier to get fired

Cause I'm black seem like it's easier to get time

Same charge, white boy- 5

Me, my boy- 99

Obama ain't lying you made it hard for a nigga

Ain't a black nigga with power

They trying to slaughter a nigga

It's hard

[Hook x2]

[Verse Three: Snoop Dogg]

You see the system was designed to keep us all down

That's why it's up to me to never let them turn it around

Burning it down

My sound go cray through it

Put a real team to it

Don't dream, do it

See, we got to be a little more careful

It's getting unbearable

This shit is so terrible

Now take a look in the mirror

It seems like you can't see what I see

So let me make it more clearer

It's hard being black

Give us all that fame, then you take it right back

Now how we 'posed to act

Now we can't work, can't eat like that

These are rules of the game

They build you up and knock you down

And leave you full of ashame

Materialistic

Gravy and Bisquick

When you're black

It's a fact

Living life is optimistic
