And I was told in school I was a fool and money, I'd never gain none But I used my flow as a tool, they was cruel Said I'd be no rapper, but I did work and became one Now it's a cryin shame, I'm buyin thangs and they got debts they got to pay back I think I know why my teachers would look in my eye and say that... And why's that? Cuz I'm a Blackboy... Came from nothing, don't mean my life means nothin Made it out the game through the pain and sufferin Y'all don't think I see them purses y'all clutchin? (I do) See I'm a Blackboy... Scared when you see me, frauds disappear like a genie Little whiteboys want to be me But you don't want to go through What I go through... True definition of a Blackboy It must be the way that my pants sag Or the sparklin diamonds on the watch my left hand has I know my appearance is looking like I am bad In your department store all I wanna do is pop a damn tag Made it honest, that's why the blacks get mad at you Even foreigners shop and got big graditude I make more than you, but you got the additude Like I can't be shoppin at Saks Fifth Avenue I'm just tryin to buy my baby some creed spring flower But they don't know that the Tecca Nina cheese means power So they look at me like none of my breed brings valor Thats why when you see us in passing we seem sour Last time I checked, my power shockeras I was on top of the indy charts and not a slotera But I'm the author of darkness and I like the opera So why when I'm at Macbeth they wont treat me more propera? Cuz I'm a Blackboy... Came from nothing, don't mean my life means nothin Made it out the game through the pain and sufferin Y'all don't think I see them purses y'all clutchin? (I do) See I'm a Blackboy... Scared when you see me, frauds disappear like a genie Little whiteboys want to be me But you don't want to go through What I go through... True definition of a Blackboy Frontline... shoot, soldiers represent that Frontline... shoot, Grand Verb, it's the snatch back Head wrapped in the desert, boombox on the camel back Escape from the clone lab, fugitives spook black With finesse in you, its the knowledge from way back The prophet of the page dont eat right till it all cracks Blackboy rappin from the pages torn Street scriptures more classic than the Jimmy Cracked Corn A spawn of the movement, keep the music movement So my purpose stays clear and my music stays groovin I do it for the real, I don't need Jena Six For me to know America is still on that bullshit So people think that black are just ball players and singers That massa complex is what fuels the street bangers And street soldiers to stand up No choice to get it right, so these Blackboys can finally get they man up Cuz I'm a Blackboy... Came from nothing, don't mean my life means nothin Made it out the game through the pain and sufferin Y'all don't think I see them purses y'all clutchin? (I do) See I'm a Blackboy... Scared when you see me, frauds disappear like a genie Little whiteboys want to be me But you don't want to go through What I go through... True definition of a Blackboy I'm a Blackboy and always gettin underestimated But when I move next door, I know you hate it You had my whole family investigated And when they didn't find no crack, you said I ate it Uh-uh, a motherfucker just elevated Over ghetto life that was designated You see this Blackboy, you know heaven made it I don't want to go if I got to integrate it You know pellot boy, be happy you made it Just take what you got, and stop complainin Ok, weather man will stop the rainin On my people head, and start explainin What your people said, believe in the bible But you still act barbaric and psycho My name is Ice Cube, bitch, it ain't Michael I'll never bleach my own skin just to be like you Cuz I'm a Blackboy... Came from nothing, don't mean my life means nothin Made it out the game through the pain and sufferin Y'all don't think I see them purses y'all clutchin? (I do) See I'm a Blackboy... Scared when you see me, frauds disappear like a genie Little whiteboys want to be me But you don't want to go through What I go through... True definition of a Blackboy
