[Intro: Kendrick Lamar] x2
Everything black, I don't want black
I want everything black, I ain't need black
Some white, some black, I ain't mean black
I want everything black
[Bridge: Kendrick Lamar]
Six in the morn', fire in the street
Burn, baby, burn, that's all I wanna see
And sometimes I get off watchin' you die in vain
It's such a shame they may call me crazy
They may say I suffer from schizophrenia or somethin'
But homie, you made me
Black don't crack, my nigga
[Verse 1: De Rayi]
Ign'ant suckers treat Africa like it's a homogeneous country
Look at all my bro's, ask 'em aren't we?
Whether you Shona, Xhosa, Khoisan, Surma, Mursi
That reflection in the water only show what they see
Little they know we way blacker on the inside
Our power, in our black hearts, that's where it resides
Our resolve, blacker than black, mightier than jihad
Start discriminatin' that's when I go very hard
Stop with the oppression haven't you had enough
Generations of screams, haven't they heard enough
Unlock the chains just to hold my mind captive
Allow me to roam the streets you roar in
Just to choke the air right outta my lungs
Start segregatin' I'm loadin' unpackin' these clips
Simultaneously
Down here it's an ammunition jungle
Apparently my apparition fuckin' up the whole operation
[Pre-Hook]
The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
The blacker the berry, the bigger I shoot
[Hook: Assassin]
I said they treat me like a slave, cah' me black
Woi, we feel a whole heap of pain, cah' we black
And man a say they put me in a chain, cah' we black
Imagine now, big gold chain full of rocks
How you no see the whip, left scars pon' me back
But now we have a big whip, parked pon' the block
All them say we doomed from the start, cah' we black
Remember this, every race start from the Black, just remember that
[Verse 2: De Rayi]
Ign'ant suckers treat Africa like it's a homogeneous country
You happen to think I'm refined quite as you are
It ain't so, think again, I am more refined
The reason why you throwing all these fines at me
Admit my girls wear the very definition of fine
Between us, this hot weather suits me better
I'm feedin' off the energy of the sun, it makes me blacker
My black skin absorb sun rays, how I get bigger ha
You run for shade when the sun shines
You can only handle a tan
The sun is my kin, I'm one degree hotter
The devil is my foe, I'm two shades blacker
Don't get me wrong, TBTB ain't a hate song
This gotta be addressed 'fore I can show some love
You heard it from the mouth of a pure nigga
I'm African - African, black as can be
Apparently my apparition fuckin' up the whole operation
[Pre-Hook]
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]
I'm the biggest hypocrite of 2015
When I finish this if you listenin' then sure you will agree
This plot is bigger than me, it's generational hatred
It's genocism, it's grimy, little justification
I'm African-American, I'm African
I'm black as the heart of a fuckin' Aryan
I'm black as the name of Tyrone and Darius
Excuse my French but fuck you — no, fuck y'all
That's as blunt as it gets, I know you hate me, don't you?
You hate my people, I can tell cause it's threats when I see you
I can tell cause your ways deceitful
Know I can tell because you're in love with that Desert Eagle
Thinkin' maliciously, he get a chain then you gone bleed him
It's funny how Zulu and Xhosa might go to war
Two tribal armies that want to build and destroy
Remind me of these Compton Crip gangs that live next door
Beefin' with Pirus, only death settle the score
So don't matter how much I say I like to preach with the Panthers
Or tell Georgia State "Marcus Garvey got all the answers"
Or try to celebrate February like it's my B-Day
Or eat watermelon, chicken, and Kool-Aid on weekdays
Or jump high enough to get Michael Jordan endorsements
Or watch BET cause urban support is important
So why did I weep when Trayvon Martin was in the street?
When gang banging make me kill a nigga blacker than me?
Hypocrite!
