Black and White

Master P

Composed by: Fiend/Master P/Silkk the Shocker
Kid: Hey dad I got in a fight with this white kid today at school. 
P: Son didn't I tell you I don't want you fighting? 
Kid: But he called me a nigger. 

[Master P] 
I'm just a black man trapped in this white world (x5) 
And this goes to every woman man boy and girl 

Its a shame when you can't send your kids to decent schools 
We live in the world for the laws and no rules 
Gang bangers crease sides and chalk lines 
Correctional facilities full of juveniles doin' petty crimes 
In this ghetto, got me crazy 
Sometimes I wish, mama wouldn'ta made me 
But its a shame when you gotta raise a baby 
And the color of my skin might taint me 

I'm just a black man trapped in this white world (x3) 
And this goes to every woman, man, boy, and girl 

And all the money can't change the color of your skin 
Why so many blacks and Mexicans in the pen? 
It is cause we VIOLENT? 
But why Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves and started smilin'? 
So many people have dreams 
But why society eliminated Martin Luther King? 
And they tell us to be proud to be black 
And at the same time Uncle John shoot us in the back 
Independence, its a free country 
No jobs, most blacks turn to street money 
A bunch of ghetto full of drugs and alcohol 
Where found history books about white laws 
And tell me Hilfiger discriminate 
And sell us clothes 
But we can't blame him cause 
We don't support the black stores 
And only God can judge 
??? and what's 
White or black and red and blue equals gang banging 

I'm just a black man trapped in this white world (x3) 
And this goes to every woman, man, boy, and girl 

(I'm just a black man 
Trapped in this white world) 
I'm colorblind, so Lord won't you feel my pain 
(Hold on, hold on 
Trapped in this white world) 
I'm colorblind, so Lord won't you feel my pain 

[Silkk] 
P pray for your little brother 
[Master P] 
Silkk, keep your head up 
[Silkk] 
I'm tryin' but sometime I get fed up (Damn) 
What about all of the people that died in the past? 
Peers I can't get back with too many found guilty 
And I know they didn't do it 
But still they can't get back 
I see the copper be tryin' to nail me 
Police constantly trailin' me 
Cause I'm young, rich, and black 
I'm always under survelience 
Dash me out the car 
And wanna ask me who the car fuck 
Thay allowed to carry guns 
Can't never be convicted 
Who that law fuck? 
I'm guilty till proven innocent 
Still we all equals, how do you figure? 
Cop told me 
"you weren't speeding but I'm gonna give you a ticket cause you a 
nigger" 
I seen the hardest of my homies 
Break down in tears 
A white judge looked them in the eyes 
And gave them 35 years 
Now its a everyday struggle 
I hustle just to live 
To raise your kids 
When they got them teachin' them 
Their parents better than them 
They got me thinkin' 
The color of my skin 
Is a sin 
I'm a black man in a white man's world 
Where its set up for me not to win 
Lookit, ain't that about a bitch 
They look at us like we ain't shit 
But lookit, I ain't racist, but face it, it exists 
I'm a black man (Unghhhhh) 

[Master P] 
I'm just a black man trapped in this white world (x3) 
And this goes to every woman, man, boy, and girl 

Outro: 
Check this out (check this out) 
Underneath (underneath) 
Ain't no black or white (there ain't no black or white) 
We all equal (we all equal) 
We all equal (we all equal) 
We all (remember that) 
Got the same opportunity 
Whether we wanna be judges, doctors, or lawyers 
Ain't a black or white thing 
Pick the best man for the job 
And there shouldn't be no hatin' 
Where you live, if you can afford to buy a house 
Should be able to live wherever you want 
The same hospitality they give to athletes 
And movie stars 
Should give that same hospitality and companionship 
To your neighbors 
You heard me? 
Y'all know it ain't a black and white thing with me 
I just make music 
For the reality 
Only the real could feel this, huh 
Only the real could feel this
