[Intro: Kendrick Lamar & Lalah Hathaway]

Everything black, I don't want black (They want us to bow)

I want everything black, I ain't need black (Down to our knees)

Some white, somethin' black, I ain't mean black (And pray to the God)

I hate everything black (We don't believe)

Black, I want all things black

I don't need black, I want everything black

I don't need black, our eyes ain't black

I own black, I own everything black

[Bridge: Kendrick Lamar]

Six in the morn'

Fire in the street

Burn, baby, burn (You, you, you, you, you)

That's all I wanna see (You, you, you, you, you)

And sometimes I get off watchin' you die in vain

It's such a shame, they may call me crazy

They may say I suffer from schizophrenia or somethin'

But homie, you made me (You, you, you, you, you)

Black don't crack, my nigga

[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]

I'm the biggest hypocrite of 2015

Once I finish this, witnesses will convey just what I mean

Been feelin' this way since I was sixteen, came to my senses

You never liked us anyway, fuck your friendship, I meant it

I'm African-American, I'm African, I'm black as the moon

Heritage of a small village, pardon my residence

Came from the bottom of mankind

My hair is nappy, my dick is big, my nose is round and wide

You hate me, don't you?

You hate my people, your plan is to terminate my culture

You're fuckin' evil

I want you to recognize that I'm a proud monkey

You vandalize my perception but can't take style from me

And this is more than confession

I mean I might press the button just so you know my discretion

I'm guardin' my feelings, I know that you feel it

You sabotage my community, makin' a killin'

You made me a killer, emancipation of a real nigga

[Pre-Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]

The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice

The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice

The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice

The blacker the berry, the bigger I shoot

[Chorus: Assassin]

I said they treat me like a slave cah me Black

Woi, we feel a whole heap of pain cah we Black

And man a say they put me inna chains cah we Black

Imagine now, big gold chains full of rocks

How you no see the whip, left scars 'pon me back

But now we have a big whip parked 'pon the block

All them say we doomed from the start cah we Black

Remember this, every race start from the Black, jus 'member dat

[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]

I'm the biggest hypocrite of 2015

Once I finish this, witnesses will convey just what I mean

I mean, it's evident that I'm irrelevant to society

That's what you're tellin' me, penitentiary would only hire me

Curse me 'til I'm dead, church me with your fake prophesizing

That I'ma be just another slave in my head

Institutionalized manipulation and lies

Reciprocation of freedom only live in your eyes

You hate me, don't you?

I know you hate me just as much as you hate yourself

Jealous of my wisdom and cards I dealt

Watchin' me as I pull up, fill up my tank, then peel out

Muscle cars like pull-ups, show you what these big wheels 'bout, ah

Black and successful, this Black man meant to be special

Katzkins on my radar, bitch, how can I help you?

How can I tell you I'm making a killin'?

You made me a killer, emancipation of a real nigga

[Pre-Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]

The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice

The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice

The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice

The blacker the berry, the bigger I shoot

[Chorus: Assassin]

I said they treat me like a slave cah me Black

Woi, we feel a whole heap of pain cah we Black

And man a say they put me inna chains cah we Black

Imagine now, big gold chains full of rocks

How you no see the whip, left scars 'pon me back

But now we have a big whip parked 'pon the block

All them say we doomed from the start cah we Black

Remember this, every race start from the Black, go scream mother

[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]

I'm the biggest hypocrite of 2015

When I finish this, if you listen, then sure you will agree

This plot is bigger than me, it's generational hatred

It's genocism, it's grimy, little justification

I'm African-American, I'm African

I'm Black as the heart of a fuckin' Aryan

I'm Black as the name of Tyrone and Darius, excuse my French

But fuck you — no, fuck y'all, that's as blunt as it gets

I know you hate me, don't you?

You hate my people, I can tell 'cause it's threats when I see you

I can tell 'cause your ways deceitful

Know I can tell because you in love with that Desert Eagle

Thinkin' maliciously, he get a chain then you gon' bleed him

It's funny how Zulu and Xhosa might go to war

Two tribal armies that wanna build and destroy

Remind me of these Compton Crip gangs that live next door

Beefin' with Pirus, only death settle the score

So don't matter how much I say I like to preach with the Panthers

Or tell Georgia State "Marcus Garvey got all the answers"

Or try to celebrate February like it's my B-Day

Or eat watermelon, chicken, and Kool-Aid on weekdays

Or jump high enough to get Michael Jordan endorsements

Or watch BET 'cause urban support is important

So why did I weep when Trayvon Martin was in the street

When gang-banging make me kill a nigga blacker than me?

Hypocrite!
