Lyrics White Man's World - C-Sharp

Sample from Malcolm X (1992)]

Nothin' but love for you, my sister
Might even know how hard it is, no doubt
Bein' a woman, a black woman at that, no doubt
Shit, in this white man's world
Sometimes we overlook the fact
That we be ridin' hard on our sisters
We don't be knowin' the pain we be causin'
In this white man's world
In this white man's world
I ain't sayin I'm innocent in all this
I'm just sayin', in this white man's world
This song is for y'all
For all those times that I messed up, or we messed up

Dear sister, got me twisted up in prison, I miss ya
Cryin', lookin' at my niece's and my nephew picture
They say don't let this cruel world get ya
Kinda suspicious, swearin' one day you might leave me
For somebody that's richer
Twist the cap off the bottle, I take a sip and see tomorrow
Gotta make it if I have to beg or borrow
Readin' love letters; late night, locked down and quiet
If brothers don't receive they mail, best believe we riot
In time I learned a few lessons, never fall for riches
It's true, caught up in this world I took advantage of you
So tell the babies how I love them, precious boys and girls
Born black in this white man's world—and all I heard was

Only thing they ever did wrong (yes!, yes!) was bein' born
Black (no doubt), in this white man's world.
To have
This shit like this, 'cause ain't nobody got it like this (all my
Little black seeds, born black in the white man's world). All
These motherfuckers wanna be like us. They all wanna be like
Us, to be the have-nots: all hail.

My homeboy's doin' life, his baby mama be stressin'
Sheddin' tears when her son finally ask that questions
Where my daddy at? Mama, why we live so poor?
Why you cryin'? Heard you late night through my bedroom
Door
Now, do you love me, mama? Why they keep on callin' me
Nigga?
Get my weight up with my hate and pay 'em back when I'm
Bigger
And still thuggin' in this jail cell, missin' my block
Hearin' brothers screamin' all night, wishin' they'd stop
Know what it means to be black, whether a man or girl
We still strugglin' in this white man's world
We must fight for brother
We must fight for brother
We must fight for brother
We must fight for [?], Zulu, [?]

So, tell me why you changed to choose a new direction
In the blink of an eye?
Not gon' cry, why should I care?
Like we holdin' onto lost love that's no longer there
Hopin' they bury me with ammunitions, weed and shells
Just in case they trip in Heaven—ain't no G's in Hell
Sister, sorry for the pain that I caused your heart
I know I'll change if you help me, but don't fall apart
Rest in peace to and
Too much for this cold world to take, ended up bein' fatal
Every woman in America, especially black
Bear with me, can't you see that we under attack?
I never meant to cause drama to my sister and mama
Hope we make it to better times, in this white man's world

"The seal, and the constitution, reflect the thinking of the
Founding fathers, that this was to be a nation by white people;
And for white people, Native Americans, Blacks, and all other
Non-white people were to be the burden bearers, for the real
Citizens of this nation."
