Chaataza - How It Feels 2 Be Black (feat. Natazab & Lost Tribez) Lyrics

They said, free the Palestinians, then celebrate the death of Native Indians
How these other races gon' take us serious
They don't, it's silly thinkin' you can fight oppression with a vote
I'm so woke, I got sleep deprivation, belly of the beast, givin' birth to a nation

You know how it feel to have culture and they take it, it'll never be peace, tell em, free
The reservation
Till it's backwards, they don't know that they exist no more
Ever try reachin' out for help and you just get ignored

Pick up vices like drugs, your child fill a void
They get a youth life sentence for killin, he was just a boy
Niggas poor, what we livin' for
Lifes a gamble was like ten to four, Police hands around your neck, they just hit record

We in war, man, this ain't the norm, but you don't know how it feel to be black
Yeah, you don't know how it feel to be black
Yeah, you don't know how it feel to be black
Yeah, you don't know how it feel to be black

Yeah, you don't know
Momma on the stage cryin, she just lost her only son to gang violence
Pop's level four yard, talkin' through the fence
Have you ever tried to hug your loved ones through a fence

Have you ever been hated just because your skin
Have you ever worked all week and couldn't pay your rent
Life a trip, I'm tryin' to catch my balance
Every step, I'm like I'm walkin' backwards

Credit card, but gotta check the balance
I come from where it's rough, that's why my heart callous
They want you to fall weak, that's a war tactic
Look how we live, what's scarier than that

What you know about crossin' a Darian and gap
Risk your life to live in hell or bury your kids
Either way, we gotta suffer and they just get rich
Life a bitch, why I waste time tellin' you that

Cuz if you ain't a nigga like me, you don't know how it feel to be black
Yeah, you don't know how it feel to be black
Yeah, you don't know how it feel to be black
Yeah, you don't know how it feel to be black

Yeah, you don't know
