i'm black
the black folks i grew up around
sang or rapped they lil songs over other people's existin' songs
seemed like a black thing to me, since that's all i have to go by is
my experience.
forgive me if i'm wrong
from niggas doo woppin' on the corner
or in talent shows
and takin' pop songs and hits
and puttin' they own words or style to it
seems like a "black thing" to me

pardon if i offended you
