Africans in America try to identify
Totally with their master in

They are the only ones who can not do it
But they are the ones who will go to all

extremes to do it
They can not be disguised
But they will attempt to disguise

Bm
Pick the afro, need no Soul Glo

Bm
Am
Tryin' hard, to be Mr. Tuffy
Yet in fact, you're Mr. Softie
With the beige contacts on,

I ain't with it, never will, never have
How can your son even call you dad?

Bm
Look in the mirror and think Mr. Softie
Am
Bm
People change, when they are ashamed
Am
Of how they look or from which they came
Are you ashamed, of original black?
If you're not,
why does your hair look like that?
Why is your nose straighter, from surgery?
Bm
Am
I think you're really in a state
of emergency
You're not sane to the African aim
So you're insane,

Any, average rap album sculpture
And study it, just, to learn your culture
Even though, you don't
Am
It's the blackest you'll
Bm

Am
The blue- eyed black man
Am
Take a look at yourself man,

have them totally confused
Bm
Am
They will try every way to identify
with their masters, every way
Go to extreme lengths,

Capitalism will confuse them
why'know tell them the truth's a lie
I saw a sister the other day
and I spoke to her about her hair
She said, "I don't care what you say,
I'm still gonna get my perm!"
I told her, "It's not a perm,
it's a temporary"
Outro 1
Try in every possible way to identify
