Brown Guys Lyrics - Talib Kweli

[Verse 1: Styles P] 

I am a brown guy 

But don't call me nigga, please 

Nigga please, you see that white boy, that's a nigga b 

Nigga ain't a color, it's a mindstate, you diggin' me? 

Maybe not, I get it tho 

But all them white boys blowin' weed they some niggas too 

The difference is they got white privileges 

Cops will kill me but I doubt that they kill 'em too 

This ain't a stab or a jab 

But I'm feeling kinda mad they ain't treated like a villain too 

His weed is good as mine, his gun bigger than mine 

And he motherfucking chilling too 

Now if my color make you hate me then I hope you go blind 

And can't see what your children do 

Now that sound kinda harsh 

But you would feel like I feel if you had black children too 

Racism make you sayin' and I shoulda have your man 

Sittin' there with the sick face 

A dickface, you a dickhead 

And what you gonna to with all the people from a mixed race 

America is a sick place (you know) 

But we paint it to be good 

This is big city talk that we spreadin' worldwide 

Coming from a humble nigga coming out a poor hood, ghost 

[Bridge]

[Verse 2: Talib Kweli] 

Life of a brown guy 

Travel 'round the would with the name of a Muslim man 

Now there are some up- and some downsides 

The downside is niggas get their spinal cord shattered in police vans 

I ain't a Muslim but my friends is 

Grew up Christian now I'm sorta spiritual I know it's cliché 

I see colors in the music 

We switch it up, you see the gods mix it up like a DJ 

You say you're hating based on race, huh 

And that you're colorblind and you like Hip-Hop 

Like that's some kind of call like you can't get punched in the face, huh 

That's why the Hindus and the Sikhs being abused by Islamophobes 

Extremism is ugly no matter what or where 

People who don't believe in god kill all the time 

The Bible more violent than the Quran, you see what's in there? 

Ain't no belief system got a monopoly on all the crime 

I judge a man by his actions and by his enemies 

But they don't show themselves without a good reason 

This ain't a TV show, nigga 

They think they know the hood cause they seen The Wire, the good seasons 

I don't need your sympathy 

I don't need your empathy your opinion is not required here 

That's why you're hidin' on the Internet 

'Cause all that 'Nigga'-shit you're writin' will probably get you fired, yeah 

Fucked up, too
