Luyện nghe bài hát What Am I?

Yo I even know what the vibe is kid
All these different things us
It got me this fence man
and I don't even know what side fall on B
see it

Well I'm a y'all
("Half Puerto Rican, half black, but you speak Spanish")
call me zebra y'all
("Half Rican, half black...")

Now how old are

six, on my BMX, doin tricks
Back to Middlesex with a couple of white trashy brats
Everything was coochie crunch till it was time for
They said to wait in the back, they that Pops ain't like black
See where I was the mostly white
it?
They see you jiggaboo with your
face
Be home by one of their daughters and their fathers

They want to see you a so I never
it
Light-skinned, showed lead, curly-headed
Called me names, I was different, I was gifted, they made me
Found out that I'm a different when I'm in the second grade
Abe Lincoln's play, they want me to portray a
My momma's face went pale she like she wanted to puke
Now that I the truth I'd rather play John Wilkes Booth
Although my came and bitched and in the play my role was switched
My told me I was fixed my problems wasn't fixed
My family seen my views of the world
Moms resort, she decided we would move to Newark
I took a deep leaving everything I knew behind
The air the green grass and my piece of mind
Harassed by white on our way we're pulled out our car
my mom for Joanne Chesimard now I'm really scarred

What am I, I'm confused, decide
am I who am I what am I
Black or white, I identify
am I who am I what am I
I'm confused, decide
What am I who am I am I
Black or white, I identify
am I who am I what am I

Culture shock, Newark's a far cry from
called projects, black eyes, regrets
Torn lives, I've never seen so many people
My mental gets molested, takes violent threats
Stress, walkin home from like a terrorist test
I learned blacks could be racist too, somehow still I I was blessed
my teachers called me half-breeds and all of that
I was of livin here but also scared of movin back
See where I was before I was the darkest thing they saw
They that I'm black, white around
They kick me like a soccer
people didn't accept me
you
Black people didn't me
you
Puerto didn't accept me
you
Diggin my identity it gots me goin cuckoo

"I'm the yellow nigga
I'm of that. I am not passing, I am black!
I was black, I live black,
and I will die, proud to be black!"

So now I'm "Hey niggaz" at niggaz that say Chino's not black
They come to my house and tell my African mother
In fact causin crackup they no sister would attract to me
These same brothers got perms to get their like mine was naturally
Descrimination, affects a education
Hands up in black history class, they never on my ass
But wait, at a rapid rate
I digest hate, it's family
Found out my father left me I'm three
Dealt with if I knew my Spanish family they'd help
mixed person I met they mostly just kept to themself
We moved to Orange I set it off talent shows staring
A high yellow progression, my flavor's pouring

Now how old are

About nineteen off my steam
Used to be a punchin bag, but now I stomps, in fiend
Now I get the goya jokes, Menudo jokes, Rico jokes
But females rush me and the MC's steal up all my
See what I lacks in melanin I makes up wit
weak attempts at blemishin my mixed heritage I'm treasurin
Don't need caucausian acceptance just that of a human
Laughed and spit at I don't represent I am not Spanish speaking
Now how dues must I pay to win
You're angry and you're that opression
but you me by the skin I'm in when
Adam Powell's, light-skinned and
Farrakhan the brother's, and
Elijah Muhammad's also,
Discrimination from my own peoples is making my go thin so
So stop playing me slight saying my song's aight of hype
Don't called me red-boned, or light and and damn they're white
I ain't no zebra, ain't no half of original
call me mulatto I stab you with a broken bottle
Callin your oreo get off it yo, now Tom consider
He could be like XL, a yellow ass nigga
