Luyện nghe bài hát What Am I?

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

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

Now how old are

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

They to see you a failure so I never
it
Light-skinned, showed them lead,
me names, I was different, I was gifted, they made me ashamed
Found out I'm a different shade when I'm in the second grade
Abe Lincoln's play, they want me to portray a
My face went 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 problems wasn't
My family my views of the world distort
Moms last resort, she decided we would to Newark
I took a deep breath leaving I knew behind
The air the green grass and my piece of mind
by white cops on our way we're 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
What am I who am I am I
I'm confused, can't
am I who am I what am I
Black or white, I identify
am I who am I what am I

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

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

Now how old are

nineteen lettin off my steam
Used to be a punchin bag, but now I stomps, in hip-hop
Now I get the goya jokes, jokes, Rico Suave 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
Don't need caucausian acceptance just that of a being
Laughed and spit at I don't represent cause I am not Spanish
Now how many dues I pay to win
You're and you're stressin that opression
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 from my own peoples is making my temper go so
So playing me slight saying 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 bottle
Callin brother oreo get off it yo, now Tom consider
He could be like Chino XL, a yellow ass
