Black Enough - Live
Am I black enough for you?
I don't talk the way you do
You call me names and try to hurt me
Spit on the ground, hopin' to curse me
They say blood is thicker than water
But you look like my great grandfather
Walk by, suck teeth
I'm not black enough for you?
Am I black enough for you?
You call my a God a stranger too
Turnin' your eyes like you don't see me
You only speak if it's a Sunday
Our lines erased through blood and water
Who's to say I'm not your lost daughter?
Turn the other cheek
'Til I'm black enough for you
Oh! Ah!
Black!
Black!
Blacker than you!
Blacker than me!
Blacker than you!
Blacker than...
Am I black enough for you?
They could shoot my children too
It don't matter how you see me
We're still runnin' like the old days
Even if I'm not from here
Green cards don't save ya
I still look just like your mama
Not from here
Green cards don't save ya
I still look just like your mama
Not from here
Green cards don't save ya
I still look just like your mama
Hands up, don't shoot
Blacker than you
Blacker than me
Blacker than you
Blacker than me
Blacker than you
Blacker than me
Blacker than you
Blacker than...
Blacker than you
Blacker than me
Blacker than you
Blacker than me
They matter but so do we
They matter but so do we
Don't shoot!
Don't shoot!
Don't shoot!
Don't shoot!
Don't shoot!
Don't shoot!
Don't shoot!
Don't shoot!
Thank you
Thanks for having me
I don't talk the way you do
You call me names and try to hurt me
Spit on the ground, hopin' to curse me
They say blood is thicker than water
But you look like my great grandfather
Walk by, suck teeth
I'm not black enough for you?
Am I black enough for you?
You call my a God a stranger too
Turnin' your eyes like you don't see me
You only speak if it's a Sunday
Our lines erased through blood and water
Who's to say I'm not your lost daughter?
Turn the other cheek
'Til I'm black enough for you
Oh! Ah!
Black!
Black!
Blacker than you!
Blacker than me!
Blacker than you!
Blacker than...
Am I black enough for you?
They could shoot my children too
It don't matter how you see me
We're still runnin' like the old days
Even if I'm not from here
Green cards don't save ya
I still look just like your mama
Not from here
Green cards don't save ya
I still look just like your mama
Not from here
Green cards don't save ya
I still look just like your mama
Hands up, don't shoot
Blacker than you
Blacker than me
Blacker than you
Blacker than me
Blacker than you
Blacker than me
Blacker than you
Blacker than...
Blacker than you
Blacker than me
Blacker than you
Blacker than me
They matter but so do we
They matter but so do we
Don't shoot!
Don't shoot!
Don't shoot!
Don't shoot!
Don't shoot!
Don't shoot!
Don't shoot!
Don't shoot!
Thank you
Thanks for having me
