Trajik - Black is a Crime (feat. Bubby B)

What makes you ashamed of being black
What make you refrain from being that
Gold king or beautiful queen
Who golden skin gleams
When the sun beams
On rich melanin
No need for sunscreen
This our natural habitat
The original man was black
Made in gods image
Cause this is gods plan
Way before Chris took a trip
This were our land
Bad hand dealt from the dealers
The evils at work
The world need a healer
Too many layers to peel
I need a peeler
The truth been buried in time
They tryna write us out of history
That's divine so much hate for my kind
Why being black is a crime
They paying taxes but we paying fines
Behind enemy lines
It's one thing to be a sleeping giant
Buts another to be blind
Brother open your mind
Born into sin
Cause the skin i'm in
They take a look at me
And throw the book at me
With no evidence
Its so evident
Being black is a crime
Your forefathers are not our fathers
Feel like its a war on us
We just tryna live life
But the world got us feelin like
Being black is a crime
We protest Black Lives Matter
They counter argue with All Lives Matter
That's loud whisper for quiet chatter
Look at the pattern We being battered
They treat us as if being black is a crime
Gun in my face for running a stop sign
Or is it my race while I'm really being chastised
Beat to a pulp In my own blood
I've been baptized
Look at the damage that's been caused
The miseducation of pigment
that's been deemed flawed
From our nappy roots
All the way down to my cuticles
Black is beautiful
Had to paint a narrative that's was suitable
Cause they'll ruin you
The media crucify niggas severely
You to near me not to hear me
I speak fluent and clearly
I just look like this with plenty of sense
Can't judge a book by its cover
Watch the rook for you suffer
We not all crooks muthafucka
Being black is a crime
Born into sin
Cause the skin i'm in
They take a look at me
And throw the book at me
With no evidence
Its so evident
Being black is a crime
Your forefathers are not our fathers
Feel like its a war on us
We just tryna live life
But the world got us feelin like
Being black is a crime
