Lyrics To Live By

"It's funny how Zulu and Xhosa might go to war
Two tribal armies that want to build and destroy
Reminds me of Compton Crip gangs that live next door
Beefin' with Pirus only death settle the score
So no matter how much 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 B-Day
Or eat watermelon, chicken, and Kool-Aid 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 gang-banging make me kill a n*gga blacker than me"

Kendrick Lamar - "The Blacker The Berry" (2015)
