Black & White Lyrics - The Original - Sarai

Questions in mind will I be accepted or not 

If not that's fine won't let it hold me down 

The mold I'm breakin out stereotypes 

Like she can't rip the mic she's white 

Get it right come to a show 

Come to a session at the studio watch me flow 

Watch the record sales watch me blow 

Watch me get em all sayin oohh look at her go 

It ain't like that at first till I drop that first verse 

Then cats eyes pop out like they brain gon burst 

Get up in the club bout to rip a show up 

They don't even know what im there for 

Girls be like I can't believe she showed up 

What's she doin here who let her in 

Don't she see she don't belong yo she don't fit in 

I don't fit in anywhere but everywhere at the same time 

'Cause all different types of people vibe off the same rhyme 

Instead of black and white could it be me and you 

Look inside my soul tell me whats visible 

Don't put me with the rest I'm an individual 

Sometimes the best things lie beyond the physical 

People like you aren't supposed to do what you do 

People like me what the fuck people like you 

That prejudge and can't get beyond the color lines 

Corrupt children and they children's minds spread through bloodlines 

Hatred is not an instinct 

Get some education for ya ass and then tell me what ya think 

Learn from those I come in contact watch for attack 

Keep my guard up down for combat 

Can't back away 'cause they don't see it my way 

Or they not used to people like me comin they way 

Only hate 'cause people fear the unknown 

But fear drive me to take a chance and be bold 

Try to knock me down gotta stay on my toes 

Prevail winner of the game 'cause they think I'm gon fold 

More than you see more than skin and bones 

More than blood more than flesh I'm soul 

Instead of black and white could it be me and you 

Look inside my soul tell me whats visible 

Don't put me with the rest I'm an individual 

Sometimes the best things lie beyond the physical 

Yeah it gets rough being the minority's tough 

Yeah there's been times I felt like I had enough 

Bout to give up but I held strong 

Felt like lettin' go of my dreams but I held on 

I can't let anyone stand in my way 

Everyone got they opinion I don't care what they say 

Out of NY moved to the LI-TH-ONIA down to Ga 

Me and my roommate stand out in the complex 

Aint no thing I relate through rhyme contest 

Earn my respect through rhymes 

Rhymes help me get through times 

When ignorant people creep under my skin and get to mines 

I don't understand they mind state 

Talk about both sides of the board dog they make me irate 

Need to pick up a book and work they intellect 

And let respect gain respect 

Instead of black and white could it be me and you 

Look inside my soul tell me whats visible 

Don't put me with the rest I'm an individual 

Sometimes the best things lie beyond the physical
