Luyện nghe bài hát What Am I?

Yo I even know what the vibe is kid
All these different seperatin us
It got me walkin this man
and I don't even know side I'ma fall on B
see it

Well I'm a y'all
("Half Puerto Rican, black, but you don't speak Spanish")
Don't call me zebra
("Half Puerto Rican, black...")

Now how old are

About six, on my BMX, tricks
Back to Middlesex with a couple of poor trashy brats
Everything was coochie crunch till it was time for
said to wait in the back, they said that Pops ain't like black
See where I was the population's white
it?
They wanna see you jiggaboo with
face
Be brought by one of their daughters and their fathers

They want to see you a failure so I
it
Light-skinned, showed lead, curly-headed
Called me names, I was different, I was gifted, made me ashamed
Found out that I'm a different shade I'm in the second grade
Abe play, they want me to portray a slave
My momma's face pale she looked like she wanted to puke
Now that I the truth I'd rather play John Wilkes Booth
Although my family and bitched and in the play my role was switched
My grandma told me I was fixed my problems wasn't
My seen my views of the world distort
Moms last resort, she decided we move to Newark
I a deep breath leaving everything I knew behind
The country air the green and my piece of mind
Harassed by white cops on our way we're out our car
Mistook my mom for Joanne now I'm really scarred

am I, I'm confused, can't decide
What am I who am I am I
Black or white, I can't
What am I who am I am I
I'm confused, decide
What am I who am I am I
or white, I can't identify
What am I who am I am I

shock, Newark's a far cry from Middlesex
Broadly projects, black eyes, regrets
lives, I've never seen so many people depressed
My gets molested, physical takes violent threats
Stress, walkin from school's like a terrorist test
I learned blacks could be racist too, somehow still I I was blessed
Even my called me half-breeds and all of that
I was scared of livin here but also scared of movin
See where I was before I was the darkest they ever saw
They figured I'm black, white around
They me like a soccer ball
people didn't accept me
you
Black didn't accept me
you
Puerto didn't accept me
you
Diggin researchin my identity it gots me goin

"I'm the yellow nigga
I'm of that. I am not passing, I am black!
I was born black, I black,
and I will die, to be called black!"

So now I'm goin "Hey niggaz" at niggaz that say Chino's not
They come to my house and tell my African that
In fact causin crackup they said no sister attract to me
same brothers got perms to get their hair like mine was naturally
Descrimination, affects a education
up in black history class, they never called on my ass
But wait, growin at a rapid
I their hate, it's family
out my father left me when I'm three
Dealt with if I knew my Spanish family they'd help
Every person I met they mostly just kept to themself
We moved to East I set it off talent shows staring
A high nigga's progression, my flavor's pouring

Now how old are

About nineteen off my steam
Used to be a punchin bag, but now I stomps, in hip-hop
Now I get the goya jokes, Menudo jokes, Rico jokes
But rush me and the MC's steal up all my quotes
See I lacks in melanin I makes up wit adrenalin
Your weak attempts at my mixed heritage I'm treasurin
Don't caucausian acceptance just that of a human being
Laughed and spit at I don't represent I am not Spanish speaking
Now how dues must I pay to win
angry and you're stressin that opression
but you judge me by the I'm in when
Adam Clayton Powell's, and
the brother's, light-skinned and
Elijah Muhammad's also,
Discrimination from my own peoples is making my temper go so
So stop playing me slight saying my song's aight of hype
Don't called me red-boned, or light and bright and damn they're
I ain't no zebra, ain't no half of either
Don't call me mulatto I stab you a broken bottle
Callin brother oreo get off it yo, now Tom consider
He could be like XL, a yellow ass nigga
