Black-N-White - The White Mandingos, Murs

I’m in a black band I got a black girl

But I don’t make music for the black world

I’m a black man, black as midnight, blacker than Flava Flav and in a fist fight

I get black balled when black rappers come around

I’m too black for the motherfucking underground

The white fans barely tolerate my black ass

If I embrace them, I catch a backlash

From the black fans

It’s so crazy yo, I sold out if I’m on the black radio

But fuck them and fuck that shit

Y’all can all open up your white teeth and eat a black dick

To the white black boys (black and white)

To the black white girls (black and white)

Lets fight back with this noise (tonight's the night)

And attack this world (tonight's the night)

For the black white boys (black and white)

And the white black girls (black and white)

Fight back with this noise (tonight's the night)

And attack this world (tonight's the night)

They say that rocks white

They say I walk white

They say a lot of shit

They even say I talk white

Cause I like to say like, stoked, and dude

I was wearing tight jeans way before that shit was cool

I like The Cure, I like the Depeche Mode

I love Big Pun and of course I respect Hov

I’m a walking contradiction

Cause I don’t speak Ebonics or some contrived fiction

I speak in sentences, I am literate

Sorry i don’t fit a category for you idiots

I am just me, you should adjust you

And if you can’t understand that fuck you

Does this shit sound black?

Does this shit sound white?

Can it just be sound?

Can that be alright?

You should listen with your heart

You shouldn’t listen with your eyes

Never listen with your ears

Because the heart never lies

It’s soul music, what color is your soul

I bleached mine and I painted it gold

Hold me to nothing more than being human

Exact same color as the dreams I’m pursuing

Assuming you and I are consuming the same bullshit and the same fast food

Then we are all doomed

The end is coming soon

The government will throw all our bodies in the same tomb
