Blacker The Berry

Field Mob


Its ya boy Chevy P babe... 
Listen 

I remember as a kid back.. in the days 
I got picked on kicked at... shit on spit at 
Get gone get back (gone Smoke) get away 
Havin a dark pigmentation was hard then to make friends 
Felt like God didn't take his time with me 
He musta made me late night tired and sleepy 
Cause life wasn't easy they dogged me 
Said that I was so dark the bet I could sweat coffee 
And peepee sweet tea and spit oil 
Say when ashy I lotion down in Armor All 
Made me feel like a loser really lame 
Because of my complexion nobody would include me in games 
Not even tag never "it" nobody would touch me 
Nope no girlfriends cause shawties thought I was ugly 
Through all the jokes and laughs pokes and stabs blows and jabs 
Hopin sad mopin mad before the scabs nobody told me that... 

[Hook w/ 2Pac sample from "Keep Ya Head Up"] 
The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice 
I say the darker the flesh then the deeper the roots 
(this song is to all the dark skinned) 
The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice 
I say the darker the flesh then the deeper the roots 
The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice 
I say 
The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice 
I say 
The blacker the berry t-the blacker the berry 
the blacker the blacker the blacker the blacker 

I ain't have Marvin Gaye to sing to me 
And make me feel like black was the thing to be 
Until Big Daddy Kane I was so glad he came 
Made me feel good about bein black again cause 
We was at the bottom of the market 
(Al B.) made (Sure) it was a problem to be dark skinned 
Until (Wesley Sniped) him 
In with the darkies out with the light skinned 
Now we got Tyrese Taye and Tyson 
Mekhi Phife in every movie ya likin 
Blade he remind me of a modern day Panther 
While Batman (hides behind a mask) like a (Klansman) 
We have to achieve... ('Caine's killin us) 
Like it killed the second son of Adam and Eve 
Ya palm is white and spreaded fist still black and tightly now 
Slappin five was cool but rather ya ball ya fist and give me pound 
'cause 

Tiger Woods say he ain't black... whatever 
They say Michael Jackson ain't white... whatever 
And Venus and Serena done beat mo white girls 
Than O.J. and Rick James put together 
Now Michael Vick's the new black hero 
Bet John Madden ain't see it comin 
(saw a quarterback as a negro) 
Jordan he can't hide it he look like an African Tribal leader 
If you can lighten him then you can brighten me up 
Now don't get me wrong and think I'm prejudiced 
Listenin to this song.. I'm not racist 
As a matter of fact shout out to Jamie Lori and Chad 
My white friends from Lee County to Bladecliff 
Just bein dark is it whats like bein white in the audience 
At a black comedy show I 
Was guaranteed to get cracked on and joked out 
Now this ugly duckling is a swan I know now 

It's the F-B-I
