Poison Snakeweed
[Intro]
Word, yo, based on a true story, n***a

[Verse 1]
I hate being black, 'cause it's not accepted
And nobody in the world respects it
Fuck this life, I'm looking for the exist
Maybe I'll be silver on my next shit
Black people, bottom of the barrel
People like chicken, keep your eyes on the sparrow
Birds, black is not beautiful
It's pitiful and hypocritical
White people analyze my verse
Old ladies see me in the streets and clench they purses
Bitch, I don't want your fuckin' purse
Lookin' for the white light rollin' in the black hearse
I knew some white rappers say they ain't racist, shit
Name one n***a you would trade places with
No one, we got the short end of the stick
Even though they say we got bigger dicks, it's a trick

[Chorus]
I hate being black
You hate me, I'm black, I hate being black
You hate me, I'm black, I hate being black
You hate me, I'm black, I hate being black
'Cause n***as stuck on Venus, caught up in the flytrap
I hate being black
'Cause n***as stuck on Venus, caught up in the flytrap
[Verse 2]
I should join the KKK, I hate n***as so much
We should know how to build guns we build triggers so much
You got a priceless debt to pay but don't figure as much
You fucked us out of everything and don't give us a fuck
I feel like a lion taking pictures at the zoo
I wish we was both back in the jungle, and it's true
They stole me just like they stole you
Now they acting like they don't have a clue
(Hooty-hoo) I'm a white owl, plus a night owl
Black panther on the loose on a night prowl
Black people don't have no rights
Always in fear of red and blue lights
They killed Trayvon, but I'm Esham
They killed Trayvon? And I'm Esham?
I hate being black
N***a can't even wear a hoodie without getting shot in the back
Or being accused of selling crack

[Chorus]
You hate me, I'm black, I hate being black
You hate me, I'm black, I hate being black
'Cause n***as stuck on Venus, caught up in the flytrap
I hate being black
