Luyện nghe bài hát What Am I?

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

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

Now how old are

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

They want to see you a so I never
it
Light-skinned, showed them lead,
Called me names, I was different, I was gifted, they me ashamed
Found out that I'm a different shade when I'm in the grade
Abe play, they want me to portray a slave
My momma's went 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 my problems wasn't fixed
My family seen my of the world distort
Moms last resort, she decided we move to Newark
I took a deep breath leaving I knew behind
The country air the green grass and my piece of
by white cops on our way we're pulled out our car
Mistook my mom for Joanne Chesimard now I'm scarred

What am I, I'm confused, decide
am I who am I what am I
Black or white, I can't
am I who am I what am I
I'm confused, decide
What am I who am I 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 gets molested, physical takes violent threats
Stress, walkin home from school's a terrorist test
I learned blacks could be racist too, somehow I felt I was blessed
my teachers called me half-breeds and all of that
I was scared of livin but also scared of movin back
See where I was before I was the darkest thing ever saw
They figured I'm black, white around
They me like a soccer ball
White people didn't me
you
Black didn't accept me
you
Puerto didn't accept me
you
Diggin my identity it gots me goin cuckoo

"I'm the yellow nigga
I'm of that. I am not passing, I am black!
I was black, I live 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
These same brothers got to get their hair like mine was naturally
Descrimination, affects a education
Hands up in black history class, they never on my ass
But wait, growin at a rate
I their hate, it's family
Found out my father left me when I'm
Dealt felt if I knew my Spanish family they'd help
Every mixed person I met mostly just kept to themself
We moved to East I set it off talent shows staring
A yellow nigga's progression, my flavor's pouring

Now how old are

nineteen lettin off my steam
Used to be a bag, but now I stomps, in hip-hop fiend
Now I get the goya jokes, Menudo jokes, Rico jokes
But females rush me and the steal up all my quotes
See what I lacks in melanin I up wit adrenalin
Your weak attempts at my mixed heritage I'm treasurin
need 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
You're angry and you're stressin that
but you judge me by the I'm in when
Adam Powell's, light-skinned and
Farrakhan the brother's, and
Muhammad's also, light-skinned
Discrimination my own peoples is making my temper go thin so
So stop playing me slight my song's aight instead of hype
Don't called me red-boned, or light and bright and they're white
I ain't no zebra, ain't no half of original
Don't call me mulatto I stab you with a broken
Callin brother oreo get off it yo, now Tom consider
He be like Chino XL, a yellow ass nigga
