Genesis chapter eleven verse ten
Explains the genealogy of Shem
Shem was a black man in Africa
If you repeat this fact they can't laugh at ya
Seem to not take it too well
When I tell you that it's not the reason I fell
Then you know just how he felt
When you look at how you gave enough chance to sell
All I ever wanted was a chance for myself
Why the **** do you even speak
It's not a choice of speech and it sure ain't free
You split to keep your edge
Stay in your corner **** you up we lost our chill
All you ever wanted was a chance for yourself
To represent a thing that we have started to build
Quiet refresh your soul and my spirit for me
All I ever wanted was a chance for myself
Been chewed up but it makes you proud
You're the dark skinned ***** in a sold out crowd
Looking at the girl with the thick blonde braids
And you're tryin' to make out what her t shirt says
No one really ever gives a **** like me
They wanna be surrounded but they hate to breathe
The air is thick as I claim my escape
All I ever wanted as a chance for myself
