lirik lagu mix breed – jay king the elemental
let me tell you a story…
[verse 1]
i’m just too tainted
this is the image that my country painted
my father puerto rican an my mother black but the same color
to this day my people keep k!lling each other
people looking at em funny
can’t understand why they supposed to be enemies
but that’s the surface of the ancestry
i am taino, i am cherokee, i am italian, i am french as well as spanish
no matter where i go i feel like i’m banished
educated christian so why am i a nigga
that is not my name so why do i answer
why do the treatment plant looks like it’s a freaking cancer
am i too light to be one of the panthers
has everyone gone loco
am i the only one in limbo
no one to turn to, cuz their words are hollow
light-skinned mulatto
hard pill to swallow
it’s like i almost hit the lotto
had our land taken, created america
white ancestors, slave masters, slave traders
only can i imagine the type of disasters
and we still feel the effects centuries after
[pre-chorus]
light skin in the booth
the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice
no matter where i turn i do not belong
to light to dark yo i’m sick of the abuse
light skin in the booth
the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice
no matter where i turn i do not belong
to light to dark yo i’m sick of the abuse
(uhh…)
[hook]
just cuz i’m a mix breed (mix breed, mix breed)
just cuz i’m a mix breed (mix breed, mix breed)
just cuz i’m a mix breed (mix breed, mix breed)
yo i’m sick of the abuse
just cuz i’m a mix breed (mix breed, mix breed)
just cuz i’m a mix breed (mix breed, mix breed)
just cuz i’m a mix breed (mix breed, mix breed)
yo i’m sick of the abuse
[verse 2]
i was dragged away from the tribe
wondering where we going, how we going to survive
slaves fully justified
master
he’s calling scripture
how am i supposed to be a christian when i see the full picture
i’m a child of thomas jefferson
treated like a orphan
an abomination
just because of my pigmentation
i faced nothing but discrimination
apparently, way too dark to gain white privilege in this country
apparently, i’m way too tan to call myself a proud monkey (uh)
never mind the genetics
i have a disease called blackness call the paramedics
why does it matter so much, to me personally i’m apathetic
prejudice fascist enjoy life as sadist
i am surrounded by nothing but racist
anti-political, sick of the ridicule
pity the fool who dares to be cruel
maybe i’ll always be forsaken
maybe if i find an understanding woman
maybe i can teach my children that their existence isn’t a sin
[pre-chorus]
light skin in the booth
the berry the sweeter the juice
no matter where i turn i do not belong
to light to dark yo i’m sick of the abuse
(uhh..)
[hook]
just cuz i’m a mix breed (mix breed, mix breed)
just cuz i’m a mix breed (mix breed, mix breed)
just cuz i’m a mix breed (mix breed, mix breed)
yo i’m sick of the abuse
just cuz i’m a mix breed (mix breed, mix breed)
just cuz i’m a mix breed (mix breed, mix breed)
just cuz i’m a mix breed (mix breed, mix breed)
yo i’m sick of the abuse
