I'ts Hard 2 Be Black

"They judge us by the color of our skin

But not by the content of our character"

Some of the realest sh-- I ever heard

So hard being black (black)

So hard being me (me)

So hard being C (C, C)

(T-Rhythm x5)

[Verse 1: Boozie Badazz]

It's hard to be black and even harder

When your money flowing like water

Son won't be a thug

So some won't be his father

Judge he turned his nose up, [?]

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

Any black nigga with power

They trying to slaughter a nigga

It's hard

[Hook: C-Murder] x2

These days it's hard to be black

Gotta watch my back

They see me running in packs

Cause nowadays, it's hard to be black

[Verse 2: C-Murder]

I see the boys in the making in my building

Children, no pop guns, yeah, they got real ones

Nobody feel them, but me, yeah I really feel them

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

We lost souls headed for hell, the cross roads

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

I smoke [?] I'm killing myself with the same Glock

I can't stop, I got that thing under my tank top

So I roam like [?] to clear my head

I drink a beer and shed a tear, plus my momma said

Boy you gon' die soon

So I look up at the moon

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

[Hook: C-Murder] x2

[Verse 3: 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

[Hook: C-Murder] x2
