lyrics

Shalawam
A.O.E. life
Ahayah Ova Everything

(I was born black)
(I was raised black)
(I'm gon' die black)

(That's right)

Hey,
They say the blacker the berry (Ha) (Black man)
(You better have that pride in the skin you in)
The blacker the berry (Black woman)
They say the blacker the berry (Black child)
Heh,
The blacker the berry (Ha) (Black berry)

They say the blacker da berry
The sweeter the juice
I say the wiser the teacher
Then the deeper the TRUTH
I'm tryna' open they eyes
And give my people the proof
Cuz all these
False doctrine they preachin is killin' the youth
Lookin for soldiers
Who hear the Word and ready to ride
Independent thinkers
Who puttin' their feelings aside
And cuz Christ is our head
Then that means we are His bride
But we got side pieces
Idols, rebellion, and pride
The lies paint picture
You can go take a look
Why I gotta' pull teeth
To have you open book
And now these heathens is shook
Cuz I be goin in exposing they sin
And taking back all of the history they took

(Heh)
They say the blacker the berry (Black man)
They say the blacker the berry (Ha) (Black woman)
The blacker the berry (Black child)
(Quam!)
The blacker the berry (Ha) (Black berry)

They say the blacker the berry
The sweeter the juice
I say the older the tree
Then the deeper the roots
Meli-nation in our skin
Is a blessin'
Don't let em' tell you different
Let em' hate
And just focus on the lesson
They say true believers
Got da fear of the Lord
But get defensive in their feelings
When I cut with the sword
Since I tell you the TRUTH
Did I make you my enemy
I don't need fake people
In my circle befriending me
So I'm restin' like the Sabbath
In the shade that they sending me
Not handing pearls to swine
That Ahayah (GOD) been lending me
I'm so done with that tendency (Done)
Cuz debating with these fools
Is a waste of my energy!

(Yea just because you pro black)

They say the blacker the berry (Black man)

(Don't mea that you gota be)
(Anti everything else)

They say the blacker the berry (Ha) (Black woman)

(Show love to your people)
(Black, white brown, yellow, green)

The blacker the berry (Black child)

(We all set apart people if we follow the Most High)
(Quam Yasharahla!)

The blacker the berry (Ha) (Black berry)

(With every beat of my heart)
(Breath of my life)
(Depth of my soul)
(Hope to my faith)
(Prayer to my God)
(Spirit that lives within me)
(I choose liberty)
(Freedom from captivity)
(And will always bet on black)

(Black berry)

(Quam Yasharahla!)
