No no no
Ooh no
My black ain't white enough for you
I talk just like you want me to
My black tried was so long no
To change the things that your said we're wrong
I did it right I,
Ate up your lies I,
Hated me just as much as you
And I'm still tryn' ask myself
Who I am
Am I right
Am I wrong
I'm still trying ask myself
Where I'm at

Where I'm goin' babe
I remember telling myself that umm, maybe that because I wasn't to big, and that my nose wasn't to wide, I wasn't too dark. That maybe, that made me okay somehow. But that wasn't true. And still there was more.
My black ain't black enough for you
I try to do what you tell me to
My black didn't say right things no
You thought you'd show my what being black means
But, I had to lie
Was tryn' to get by
Was somebody that I'd never known
My black
I'm still tryn' ask myself
Who I am
Am I right
Am I wrong
And I'm still tryn' ask myself
Where I'm at
Where I'm at
Where I'm goin' babe
But I don't know if I've figured that out yet. But I'm trying to. All I really know, is that I was never enough.
I was never enough babe.
