Luyện nghe bài hát What Am I?

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

Well I'm a y'all
("Half Puerto Rican, half black, but you speak Spanish")
Don't call me y'all
("Half Rican, half black...")

Now how old are

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

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

am I, I'm confused, can't decide
What am I who am I am I
Black or white, I can't
What am I who am I am I
I'm confused, decide
am I who am I what am I
Black or white, I can't
am I who am I what am I

Culture shock, a far cry from Middlesex
Broadly called projects, black eyes,
Torn lives, I've never so many people depressed
My gets molested, physical takes violent threats
Stress, walkin home from school's like a terrorist
I learned blacks could be racist too, still I felt I was blessed
Even my teachers called me and all of that
I was scared of here but also scared of movin back
See where I was before I was the darkest thing they saw
They figured that I'm black, white
They kick me a soccer ball
people didn't accept me
you
Black people didn't me
you
Puerto didn't accept me
you
Diggin researchin my identity it gots me cuckoo

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

So now I'm goin "Hey niggaz" at niggaz say Chino's not black
They come to my house and tell my mother that
In fact causin they said 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, never called on my ass
But wait, growin at a rapid
I their hate, it's family
Found out my father left me when I'm
Dealt with felt if I knew my Spanish family they'd
Every mixed person I met mostly just kept to themself
We moved to Orange I set it off talent shows staring
A yellow nigga's progression, my flavor's pouring

Now how old are

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