lyrics

“Slam Poetry!”

[Intro]
Okay, stepping up to the stage we got a new comer, his name is Johnny Llama. Show him some love, show him some love.
How you doing everybody? This poem is called “Black, White, & Blue”.

[Hook]
Black, White, Blue
Who are you?
Black, White, Blue
Who are you?

[Verse1]
You a Black man?
You must rap man
Prolly trap man
You on crack man
You finna snap man?
You Nigga, Nigger, Jiggaboo
Ain't nobody feeling you
Matter fact they killing you

[Hook]
Black, White, Blue
Who are you?
Black, White, Blue
Who are you?

[Verse2]
You a White man?
Prolly got lice man
Wanna fight man?
Hey I gotta gun!
Alright, sike man
Your selfish
Niggas worked for free and now they helpless
All you do is kill em, now they see they rebellious

[Bridge]
Okay, let me give you a scenario. What if a black man and the Grand Dragon met each other? Became friends, shook hands, invited each other to each other houses. They had so much respect for each other that the white man, the Grand Dragon quit the klan. Let me ask you this
What would you do?
The leader of the KKK quit the klan?
What would you do?
Is he crazy? He quit the klan?
What would you do?
Is racism dead? Is it dead?
What would you do?
Scream! AHHHHHH

[Hook]
Black, White, Blue
Who are you?
Black, White, Blue
Who are you?

[Verse3]
You a Blue man?
You got all the power
Must feel good
Shooting brothers every hour
No regret? You feeling sour?
Blacks and whites is tired of it
Everybody tired of it

[Hook]
Black, White, Blue
Say it with me say it!
Who are you?
Scream it! Scream it!
Black, White, Blue
Everybody, every...
Who are you?
Who are you?

[Bridge]
Truth be told black, white, blue, green, purple, yellow. Does it really matter what you are? Along as your not hurting anybody right? Because at the end of the day, we're all humans with the same emotions and feelings. So let's put the gun down, and share a slice, and share a conversation. You know?

[Outro]
Thank you everyone that's my time, once again my name is Johnny Llama, one more time we're all gonna sing together

[Hook]
Black, White, Blue
Who are you?
Thank you.
