Remix Monkey Beats - They Call Me Black

Black, that's my color
They call me black, there is no other
Black, that's my color
They call me black, the streets know my name
The streets know my name
I don't chase the shine, I don't play that game
Smoke in my lungs, liquor in my veins
They call me black, many hate my name
Many hate my name, but
I stay the same
Try to walk away, but the streets said no
The streets won't let me go
The streets won't let me go
Black, black, that's my color
They call me black, there is no other
Hip-hop's my profession, smoke is my habit
Ten girls around me, only two can have it
Girl, you want the prince in black, I know
But you don't understand how deep this life goes
Same old streets and the same old story
Cash on the table, now she's chasing glory
Smoke got thick, don't know who came around
Next door, supermodel, coldest snake in town
Blue lights behind me, cops want answers
But nobody speaks when they question my brothers
They know who
I am when
I step to the mic
Hip-hop revolver, every word hits right uncle
Ticey made me loyal and steady
Enemy of snitches born always ready
That is my code, that's the law
I know
Same old rule from a long time ago
I don't chase the shine, I don't play that game
I smoke in my lungs, liquor in my veins
They call me black, many hate my name, many hate my name but
I stay the same
Try to walk away
But the streets said no
The streets won't let me go
The streets won't let me go
That's my color
They call me black, there is no other
They call me black
Black, black, black
The streets won't let me go
The streets won't let me go
The street is my home, the city is my land
I serve no master, I rule no man
Betrayal's one language
I never understand
Heart with my brothers always take a stand
Time keeps moving, taking what it takes
I keep my name clean while the whole world fakes
No one can change me, no one owns my face
I don't play dirty just to win the race
Money never bought me love or respect
I judge every man by the cold he protects
Blonde comes today, brunette tomorrow
Smoke in the night but
I don't borrow sorrow
Come to the street, open both your eyes
They hide all the peace and bury us in lies
They blame us for the things that they do worse still
I stand strong through the blessing and curse
I don't chase the shot, I don't play that game
Smoke in my lungs, liquor in my veins
They call me black, black
Many hate my name, many hate my name but
I stay the same
Try to walk away
But these streets said no
The streets won't let me go
Another year gone, but
I'm still right here
Same old city, same voice in your ear
I've seen love disappear and enemies grow
Seen friends stand tall when the cold wind blows
I don't need a throne, I don't need a crown
My name was already known underground
I came from the blocks where the truth runs deep
Where promises break and the real ones keep
I carry my past, but
I don't live low
I walk with the street everywhere that
I go
You can hate my name, you can hate my sound but
I built my soul on this concrete ground
No fake smile and no borrow roll
The street took my youth but it gave me a soul
So when the beat drops and the whole room goes black
Remember the name, the black prince is back
I don't chase the shine, I don't play that game
Smoke in my lungs, liquor in my veins
They call me black
Many hate my name, many hate my name but
I stay the same
Try to walk away
But the streets said no
But the streets won't let me go
The streets won't let me go
That's my color
They call me black
There is no other
That's my color
The streets know my name
The streets know my name
The streets know my name
The streets know my name
The street is my home, the city knows my name
