The Blacker The Berry Chords by Kendrick Lamar

_ [Bb] [Ebm] When Mr.
Power [Bbm] went down to [Bb] her knees,
Prayin' to the God, he don't believe.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
Six [Bb] in a hall, _ five in the street, _
Burn baby burn, _ the daughter won't see. _ _
_ [Gb] And sometimes I get off watching you [Eb] die in vain,
It's such a [Bb] shame, they make them [Gb] crazy.
They make their self from [Eb] schizophrenia, sucking [Bbm] my whole [Gb] baby.
_ _ _ [Bb] Blacks don't crack, my niggas.
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb]
I'm the biggest zipper grill in 2015,
Once I finish this business, this world conveys just what I mean.
Been feeling this way since I was 16, came to my senses.
You never liked this 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, part of my residence.
Came from the bottom of mankind, my hair is nappy, my dick is big,
My nose is rounded wide, you hate me, don't you?
You hate my people, your plan is to terminate my culture.
You're fucking evil, I want you to recognize that I'm a proud monkey.
You vandalize my perception, but can't take stealth from me.
And this is more than confession, I mean I might press the button,
Just so you know my discretion, I'm caught in my feelings, I know that you feel it.
I sabotage my community, making a killing.
You made me a killer, emasculation of a real nigga.
The black and the male are the same religions. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ [Bb] I said I'm rich [Gb] like a slave, cause we black.
All the people [Bb] live and burn, cause we black.
I'm an asset of country, [Gb] that's shame, cause we black.
How much ya know?
We [F] gold chain full of rocks.
[Bbm] And you know see the whip [Gb] left side, cause we back.
You know we have a big [F] whip, back from the black.
[Bb] All the money we do [Gb] from the start, cause we black.
But remember this, every [Bb] race starts from the black, just remember that.
I'm the biggest hypocrite in 2015.
Once I finish this witness, this whole conveys what I mean.
I mean it's evident that I'm irrelevant to society.
That's what you're telling me, penitentiary would only hire me.
Curse me till I'm dead, church me with your fake prophesies.
And then I'mma be just another slave in my head.
Institutional lies, manipulation in 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.
Watching me as I pull up, fill up my tank, they pill out.
Muscle cars, they pull up, show you what these big wheels spout.
Black successful, this black man meant to be special.
Cat scans on my radar, bitch how can I help?
How can I tell you I'm making a killing?
You made me a killer, emastipation of a real nigga.
_ _ _ The black in the beret, the black in the boots.
The black in the beret, the black in the boots.
The black in [Eb] the beret, the black [Bb] in the boots.
[Gb] The black in the beret, the black in the boots.
I'm a black, I'm a black.
All you think about [Bb] is my fame, I'm a black.
I'm an ass of the hood, [Gb] I'm a chain, I'm a black.
I'm a chain now, my [Eb] gold chain full of rocks.
[Bbm] How you know this is the whip?
[Gb] Left side, now we back.
But now we have a big [Eb] whip, facts from the black.
[Bb] All them asses we know [Gb] from the start, I'm a black.
But remember this, every [F] race starts from the black.
[Bb] Just remember that.
I'm a biggest slipper criminal, 2015.
When I finish this, if you listen, then sure you will agree.
The plot is bigger than me.
It's generational hatred. It's cynicism.
It's grimy little justification.
I'm African American, I'm African.
I'm black as the heart of a fucking area.
I'm black as the name of Tyrone and Darius.
Excuse my French, but fuck you.
Now 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 race is evil.
No, I can tell because you in love with that deaf seagull.
Thinking maliciously, he's gonna change and you gonna bleed him.
It's funny how Zulu and Thosa might go to war.
Two tribal armies that want to build and destroy.
I'm on the edge of these copped and cripped gangs that live next door.
Beefing with power rules only deaf settle the score.
So no matter how much I say I like to preach with the Panthers.
Or tell Georgia State Marcus Garvey got all the answers.
Or try [Ebm] to celebrate February like it's my B-Day.
Or eat [Bbm] watermelon, chicken, and Kool-Aid on weekdays.
Or [Bb] jump high enough to get Michael Jordan endorsements.
Or watch BET cause urban support is important.
So why did I weep when Trayvon Martin [E] was in the street?
When gang banging make me kill a nigga [Dm] blacker than me.
