Black With N.v. Lyrics - Black Sheep

Now, I was told to never bite off more than I could chew 

But then you better bite enough, for if you don't, my boy, you're blue 

Now I wonder, can others see the system that I see? 

Or do they see and say they blame it on society? 

The days of smart enough come to over, just say thousands 

And as I live and learn because there's always someone mouthing 

Speaking on an issue, praise you or they diss you 

Lange as strong, they fly by me like Scott tissue 

My people, from nigger to negro to man or color, 

Killed my father and my brother so that you could rape my mother 

Now you wonder, why is it through instinct you fear? 

Wouldn't dare me to stare, one for yourself, you're out of here 

Not to worry, to harm your intention of my creed 

But to stop your greed and give me what I need 

Opportunity, for a life of me 

And generations to come with in tranquility 

Now harmony, is a total love of things 

For those who are inclined or better yet like to sing 

But piece of mind it is my right for the spark will ignite 

'Till I can catch a cab at the town at midnight 

'Till I can be myself and not be thought as worse 

'Till I can buy a slice from Howard Beach to the Hearse 

'Till I can get the pill without fear of eject 

And occupations which I seek I can have if I select 

Now if I so select and reach out to make touch 

How can you say that I ask for too much? 

Don't speak to me if good times are granted 'till I be 

Don't tell me of the countries or the hours that you seek 

Don't tell me to keep trying, you know I won't agree 

Double negative means positively black with N.V. 

As a player of the game of the lifetime game I am playing 

I bet you're nodding, shake your head to what I am saying 

It's keep then but those of men color of skin could even begin to wonder 

What is it to ponder, to let another bother? 

Listen, stay open not dismissing 

Lack of vision makes division product no ambition 

Wishes which you wish upon which for more you wishes 

If I wish not to record, steady now then I wash dishes 

Wish while I wash, the water hot gets colder 

Black I'm saying that in fact the dish gets clean and I get older 

Seemly so, the dishes will grow to dishes far beyond me 

Lost my wish and broke a dish so now I'm wishy washy 

Understand foundation, create my own creation 

If dumb and pumping jump, then get no ovation 

But only restriction, boom penes a lot of friction 

I then wash a dish with out pay boom, N.W.A 

Think I'm lying? Black, I'm crying, so the tear would turn to crystal 

Crystals forming on my dishes so I wash until dismissal 

Wash until my prints are wrinkled then they let me go 

I know not where I'm going so I know not where I go 

My people give me money, but the money much too low 

For me to meet the match of present day so I still need some dough 

Conjure up a suit, I wish that it were cute 

Borrow a token and a smoking I begin a wish less hope 

Intervening, application leads me on onto frustration 

And duration of my time is spent with lack of occupation 

Time to go for what I know, I know not of what I wish 

But of soap and a towel and some water and a dish 

Don't speak to me if good times are granted 'till I be 

Don't tell me of the countries or the hours that you seek 

Don't tell me to keep trying, you know I won't agree 

Double negative means positively black with N.V. 

But lay okay 'cause you can get the play 

I pick your style, your smile shown bright about a mile away 

But anyway, another day, in the land of shove 

Just living in the life of who? 

A black man on a green land with a blue skyline 

Don't tell me I'm colorblind 

I'm seeing system is hard to believe in 

Underneath the underside I'm underachieving 

Bust my ass in school, to be a certified fool 

Now intellect of curb is my only tool 

But street game is so uncouth 

I took the SAT's and that's the sad-ass truth 

I'm not gliding but I'm striving, hanging on 

By a thread and it's called surviving 

Hang on, hang on, hang you all 

Walk the street and keep you head so tall 

For time is short, no time is bought 

You're only in the wrong if you get caught 

So kick in doors, bang on walls, shout in halls 

Get yours, get yours 

Don't speak to me if good times are granted 'till I be 

Don't tell me of the countries or the hours that you seek 

Don't tell me to keep trying, you know I won't agree 

Double negative means positively black with N.V.
