Villified Lyrics

I was painted as a villain since lil baby boy

Black matriarchal village where the men are at war

For the black man validation, you gotta be a star

They say mother fuck dem books Pick that Mic or the ball

On the television images of us being poor

They say we robbin, shooting, killing, villainous to the core

The psychology of color, white is Honest and Pure

And the black is Cold, its Mysterious, Dominant, Dark

They be asking me Young black man, how did you get so strong

Well my great, great, great, great grandfather was bred like a dog

Even rewrote history they changed the image of God

Jesus had hair like wool they changed the image of Go

Ain't it obvious they villainized young Iverson

South Virginia, got sent to prison, off of one fight, They said "Rioting" … Yeah

Ain't it obvious they even villainized Malcolm X

Stood on business with the firm position

But they villify and keep hiding him… Yeah

Ain't it obvious its even in your subconsciousness

Colorism, Dark, Light skinned a spectrum for your prominence

Under-representation, conform to the ploy

Even dark dominicans say "I, I, I, no Black boy!

What!? What, you mean that you no Black boy

But you have these facial features like black merican boy

Villification Why you no wan be black merican boy,

Even when you saying Ni…,Oh only when you have choice

Villification led to big manipulation in sports

Saw Money Mayweather villianize from young, Pretty Boy Floyd

Matter of fact let's play a game, but my games different from yours

One player gets 20,000 on Monopoly board

Starts with hotels and the property on Monopoly board

Black tokens, they start with nothing and their asks get ignored

Roll doubles once, go to jail for marijuana charge

You pass Go six times, then guess those purple properties are yours!

Villified

And if you keep the property, then they'll gentrify it for sure

Villified

You can only buy what's on the Redline side of the board

Villified

But that don't mean we play no victim

My mama told me that don't mean we could play some victim

My culture was made of hard work and perseverance

They gave us pig intestines, We deep fried em' and ate them chitlins

Ugh

I was painted as a villain since a lil baby boy
