Luyện nghe bài hát What Am I?

Yo I don't even know what the is kid
All these different seperatin us
It got me walkin fence man
and I don't even know what 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 me zebra y'all
("Half Puerto Rican, black...")

Now how old are

About six, on my BMX, doin
Back to Middlesex with a of poor white trashy brats
Everything was coochie crunch till it was for lunch
They said to wait in the back, they said Pops ain't like black
See where I was the mostly white
it?
They see you jiggaboo with your
painted
Be brought by one of their daughters and their fathers

They want to see you a so I never
it
Light-skinned, them lead, curly-headed
Called me names, I was different, I was gifted, they made me
Found out that I'm a different shade when I'm in the second
Abe Lincoln's play, 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 came and bitched and in the play my was switched
My grandma told me I was fixed my wasn't fixed
My seen my views of the world distort
Moms last resort, she decided we would to Newark
I took a deep breath leaving everything I behind
The country air the green grass and my piece of
Harassed by white cops on our way pulled out our car
Mistook my mom for Chesimard now I'm really scarred

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

Culture shock, Newark's a far cry from
called projects, black eyes, regrets
Torn lives, I've never seen so many people
My mental gets molested, physical violent threats
Stress, walkin home from school's a terrorist test
I learned blacks could be racist too, somehow still I felt I was
Even my teachers me half-breeds and all of that
I was scared of livin here but also scared of back
See I was before I was the darkest thing they ever saw
They that I'm black, white around
kick me like a soccer ball
White didn't accept me
you
Black people accept me
you
Puerto Ricans accept me
you
Diggin researchin my identity it me goin cuckoo

"I'm the nigga right?
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 "Hey niggaz" at niggaz that say Chino's not black
They come to my and tell my African mother that
In fact causin crackup they no sister would attract to me
These same brothers got perms to get their hair like was naturally
Descrimination, affects a brother's
Hands up in black history class, never called on my ass
But wait, at a rapid rate
I their hate, it's family
Found out my father me when I'm three
Dealt with felt if I my Spanish family they'd help
mixed person I met they mostly just kept to themself
We moved to East Orange I set it off talent shows
A yellow nigga's progression, my flavor's pouring

Now how old are

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