Talib Kweli - Brown Guys lyrics

[Verse 1: Styles P] I am a brown guy But don't call me n***a, please n***a please, you see that white boy, that's a n***a b n***a ain't a color, it's a mindstate, you diggin' me? Maybe not, I get it tho But all them white boys blowin' weed they some n***as too The difference is they got white privileges Cops will k** me but I doubt that they k** 'em too This ain't a stab or a jab But I'm feeling kinda mad they ain't treated like a villain too His weed is good as mine, his gun bigger than mine And he motherf**ing chilling too Now if my color make you hate me then I hope you go blind And can't see what your children do And that sound kinda harsh But you would feel like I feel if you had black children too Racism make you sayin' and I shoulda have your man Sittin' there with the sick face A dickface, you a dickhead And what you gonna to with all the people from a mixed race America is a sick place (you know) But we paint it to be good This is big city talk that we spreadin' worldwide Coming from a humble n***a coming out a poor hood, ghost [Bridge] Styles P, Talib Kweli, The Seven [Verse 2: Talib Kweli] Life of a brown guy Travel 'round the would with the name of a m**m man Now there are some up- and some downsides The downside is n***as get their spinal cord shattered in police vans I ain't a m**m but my friends is Grew up Christian now I'm sorta spiritual I know it's cliché I see colors in the music We switch it up, you see the gods mix it up like a DJ You say you're hating based on race, huh And that you're colorblind and you like Hip-Hop Like that's some kind of call like you can't get punched in the face, huh That's why the Hindus and the Sikhs being abused by Islamophobes Extremism is ugly no matter what or where People who don't believe in god k** all the time The Bible more violent than the Quran, you see what's in there? Ain't no belief system got a monopoly on all the crime I judge a man by his actions and by his enemies But they don't show themselves without a good reason This ain't a TV show, n***a They think they know the hood cause they seen 'The Wire', the good seasons I don't need your sympathy I don't need your empathy your opinion is not required here That's why you're hidin' on the Internet 'Cause all that 'n***a'-sh** you're writin' will probably get you fired, yeah f**ed up, too
