Who's To Blame

We blame the white man for all our misfortunes We're doing the best we can So damn it! If all else fails Blame the white man Ignorance prevails. Standing on long welfare lines Trying to scrape for every nickel and dime Yet with such hard times We still find The time To have three or four kids Chances for success decrease Stupidity -like a disease, spreads Among our black people I ask –Whose fault is this? The white man doesn't like the color of our skin Angered by this we come together to fight him off Only to separate because we don't fit in Within our own circle of people But we said everyone is created equal Hypocrites we are But the white man is to blame for us not getting far HA! Blacker the Berry the Sweeter the Juice How about -Blacker the Berry the Harsher the Abuse From outside and in My own brother don't like the color of my skin So now I have to change So I can fit in Hold Up! Something isn’t right As I pick up the bleaching cream To make myself more white To be socially accepted by my brother and the white man Might as well put the money directly in his hand And we wonder why The rich is getting richer and the poor is getting poorer Something we will continue to hear more of If the white man continues to have control Yeah, Let's blame the white man But aren't you sick of the same story being told? Now that Barack Obama is in control, After setting a precedent For being the first black president There are high hopes for a dream that can possibly come true But we will still walk around and complain Losing sight of where to aim And all I can do is wonder Who's to blame?
