The Blacker The Berry Lyrics By Kendrick Lamar

    kendrick lamar lalah hathaway
    everything black i don’t want black they want us to bow
    i want everything black i ain’t need black down to our knees
    some white some black i ain’t mean black and pray to the god
    i want everything black we don’t believe
    everything black want all things black
    i don’t need black want everything black
    don’t need black our eyes ain’t black
    i own black own everything black

    kendrick lamar
    six in the morn’
    fire in the street
    burn baby burn you you you you you
    that’s all i wanna see you you you you you
    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 you you you you you
    black don’t crack my nigga

    kendrick lamar
    i’m the biggest hypocrite of 05
    once i finish this witnesses will convey just what i mean
    been feelin’ this way since i was sixteen came to my senses
    you never liked us anyway fuck your friendship i meant it
    i’m africanamerican i’m african i’m black as the moon
    heritage of a small village pardon my residence
    came from the bottom of mankind
    my hair is nappy my dick is big my nose is round and wide
    you hate me don’t you
    you hate my people your plan is to terminate my culture
    you’re fuckin’ evil
    i want you to recognize that i’m a proud monkey
    you vandalize my perception but can’t take style from me
    and this is more than confession
    i mean i might press the button just so you know my discretion
    i’m guardin’ my feelings i know that you feel it
    you sabotage my community makin’ a killin’
    you made me a killer emancipation of a real nigga

    pre kendrick lamar
    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

    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 inna chains cah’ we black
    imagine now big gold chains 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 block jus ‘member dat

    kendrick lamar
    i’m the biggest hypocrite of 05
    once i finish this witnesses will convey just what i mean
    i mean it’s evident that i’m irrelevant to society
    that’s what you’re tellin’ me penitentiary would only hire me
    curse me ’til i’m dead church me with your fake prophesizing
    that i’ma be just another slave in my head
    institutionalized manipulation and lies
    reciprocation of freedom only live in your eyes
    you hate me don’t you
    i know you hate me just as much as you hate yourself
    jealous of my wisdom and cards i dealt
    watchin’ me as i pull up fill up my tank then peel out
    muscle cars like pull ups show you what these big wheels ’bout ah
    black and successful this black man meant to be special
    katzkins on my radar bitch how can i help you
    how can i tell you i’m making a killin’
    you made me a killer emancipation of a real nigga

    pre kendrick lamar
    the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice
    the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice

    i’m the biggest hypocrite of 05
    when i finish this if you listen 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 africanamerican 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 in love with that desert eagle
    thinkin’ maliciously he get a chain then you gon’ bleed him
    it’s funny how zulu and xhosa might go to war
    two tribal armies that wanna 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 bday
    or eat watermelon chicken and koolaid 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 gangbanging make me kill a nigga blacker than me
    hypocrite
