Some people say, hey, who are we to judge? But you see, maybe they can’t see the forest cause they’re looking at the trees! And nowadays, everybody’s free to be what they wanna be, but honestly, tell me something would you ever wanna be like me?

Black like me? Black like me? No you could never be Black like me, just rapping real fast on a track like me just to get a little cash in the stash like me, being Black like me! Black like me? That’s something most people don’t never wanna be, cause we’re running from the robbers and the officers of the police who beat us dead in the street!

Yes Black like me! Black like me? No you could never wanna be Black like me, held back since the past with a mark on our back, can’t even get a job to buy food to eat if you’re Black like me! Black like me? That’s something most people don’t ever wanna be, when the girls don’t wanna talk to you and chill, so every night you can’t sleep cause the nightmares are real when you’re Black like me!

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?

Some people say, hey, who are we to judge? But you see, maybe they can’t see the forest cause they’re looking at the trees! And nowadays, everybody’s free to be what they wanna be, but honestly, tell me something would you ever wanna be like me?

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 children and had them calling me daddy?

50 years later when they’re going crazy now I’m just laughing?
