In the trap town
Fast rounds
Make enemies back down
That's why you always hear
Gunshots in the background
(When you’re Black in Amerikkka)
That's how
We were brought up
In the trap town
Whites put us in the ghetto
Because we’re black brown
(In Amerikkka)
We’re trying just to eat
Without no francs, pounds
Euros or some cash cows
It’s liable to make somebody
Black out and Blast out
(In Amerikkka)
You get no pass boy
This might be your last time
Like Lizzo at the half time
That's just what it is
in the Trap town
(Being Black in Amerikkka)
What if I filled you with sadness and said that you couldn’t cry?
What if I gave you 2 wings but said you could never fly?
What if I blessed you with money but there was nothing to buy?
Would you wish that we could trade places, so your pain would be mine?
What if I built up a heaven, but said that you couldn’t go?
If I was always happy and loud, but I told you to keep it low?
What if you showed up on time, but I said you missed the show?
And what if it was by design, and you and I we both know?
Their belly’s full but we’re hungry,
angry and confronting, the colonizers put us on our knees yeah yeah
But it ain’t easy taking it easy if our people can’t have money, and when they judge us by our skin then how can we succeed? Yeah yeah
When you’re Black Black Like Me!
When you’re Black Like Me! Me! Me!
When you’re Black Black Like Me!
Looking Black Like Me! Me! Me!
When you’re Black Black Like Me!
When you’re Black Like Me! Me! Me!
When you’re Black Black Like Me!
Being Black Like Me! Me! Me! Yeah!
What if i gave you some choices that always made you feel worse?
Or said you’re precious like diamonds as long as you’re in the dirt?
Gave you the shirt off my back, as long as I wore it first?
I could have blessed you with something new but I said you don’t deserve it?
What if I shot for the moon but made you do all the work?
Then when I flew off the planet i left you burned in the Earth?
What if I kidnapped your babies and had them calling me daddy?
50 years later when they’re going crazy now I’m just laughing?
Because in the trap town
Fast rounds
Make enemies back down
That's why you always hear
Gunshots in the background
