The Message - Cassidy

Its a real bad time for black celebrities they lockin everybody up:

Michael Jackson James Brown Tupac R. Kelly OJ Simpson Mike Tyson
Kobe Bryant JayZ Mystikal P. Diddy Allen Iverson Snoop Dogg DMX
Styles P Shine Beanie Segal Lil Kim.

Hook:
Is it because Im Black
Is it because Im Black

When you black you got to hustle got to struggle and strive.
And not every cat that goes through that struggle survive.
But he got to stay stronger and keep the struggle alive.
They say the struggle died I say the struggle revived.
My profession is going through oppression.
Thats why Im so stressed and Im working with no rest
and no question ima fight for yall cause I dont like it yall
we make half as much as them we workin twice as hard yall.
It aint fair sometimes you seein heaven signs I aint Pharaohcon
But I got knowledge and Im sharing mines. I swear its time to
be aware that they fear you mind and they fear your heart. You
want to change heres the start. Im tired of watching cops outline
my peers and yall Im trying to make a move Im not trying to make
the news. They say the consequences worst when we break the
rules. To get back and right you got to make a sacrifice.

Hook:
Is it because Im Black
Is it because Im Black

We got some problems we need solve heres our chance to get them handle.
Just take the boycott in Alabama for example. They stop ridin the bus till they
address their affairs. And they ended segregation in less then a year. So imagine
what our status if we made a contribution well probably be able to change the
constitution. I cant see no other kind of solution we deserve our reparation its
time for a revolutions. Im a step ahead of Satan I read it in Revelation. Forget
your reputation lets make it a better nation cause they trying to cage us in
make us slaves again eventually its meant to be the new plantation the penitentiary.
For centuries they had a plan we let them executed everyday another brother getting
executed. And all our artist getting arrested I aspect improvement. Its a message
in the music I suggest you use it.

Hook:
Somebody tell me what can I do.
Will I survive or will I die

On the streets its hard to survive.
Why is it because Im black
Hot Shot got rock I cant bring my cousin back.
Fivehundred thousand sold gold yeah it wasnt platinum
but Clyde gave me another try cause I wasnt whack.
And now im buzzin back yeah I got my budget back.
Renegotiating got a mil to do a dozen tracks.
Yea Im eatin only reason is because I rap my homies eatin only reason is because of crack.
They cant get a job so them niggas quick to rob quick to steal
quick to kill grip the steal quick to ride.
Malcolm X Martin Luther King we cant forget them guys.
These politician hypocrites they got us hypnotize.
That why I kiss rick why we got to lift our eyes.
Cause if we keepem close they just goin keep control.
And hold our sisters and brothers in the pen and we was born guilty
cause the color of our skin.
