Black Dude Spanish Name
Tito Lopez Lyrics

Black dude, Spanish name
I am a black man with a Spanish name

Giving it birth and for it's worth, I don't plan to change
I embrace my identity and won't change it for anyone

Look of confusion on your face and I'm the man to blame
People may be confused by my identity, but it's not my fault

We can help the skeleton get shelter if you can't stand the rain
I will offer support and help to those who need it

And damn the game 'cause this fake is a mannequin
I reject fake people and their intentions

Or a maniac lined to get out the inside of an asylum like he ain't insane
Some people are so crazy they don't even realize it

Why you panicking? Why does the grandma cane?
I question the fear and confusion of others

The chalk was tough like you serving ' asking can we talk?
Dealing with difficult situations is like serving hard drugs and asking for a conversation

Is it my fault? Y'all niggas slept on a prince
I am talented and people may have missed out on recognizing it before

By the time you woke up he was king and they look back since
I have become successful and people are now paying attention

They look so tense when I walk in the room
People feel uneasy or intimidated by my presence

And I never knew why, or do I? I guess I can assume it's cause of my talent
I question why people are intimidated by me, but I know it's likely due to my talent

And balance they stay I restore
I aim to bring balance and stability to situations or communities

Or maybe it's the gun and me hollering 'stay on the floor'
I acknowledge that fear and my tough exterior may also contribute to people's discomfort around me

I lay with a whore before and even went raw
I have made risky choices in my life

As far as I see it that's braver than throwing up signs on '
I suggest that risky behavior takes more courage than participating in gang signs

I've been raw and even a genius, I've been cold
I have experienced both success and failure

I know some dudes named dudes, paid them tenfold
I have connections and have been able to repay debts

So pretty soon, man, I'mma need that moon back
I feel entitled to what I have earned or deserve

Or whatever they're giving now when you're selling tunes, man
I am aware of the rewards and struggles of the music industry

I will not be denied 228, nigga, get it straight from a place where we do not run and hide
I am determined to succeed and come from a community that does not back down from challenges

And if I gotta make a club song, it's something I write
I will only make music that is authentic and true to myself

Just to get your attention, I swear to God
I am willing to use tactics to get noticed and heard

Then you're gonna feel me
I want people to understand and connect with my music and message

If it kills me, if it kills me
I am willing to put everything into my music and career, even if it means sacrificing myself

Fresh out the motherfucking dirt
I come from humble beginnings

When niggas don't chase skirts they just flirt with danger and anger
Some people may not actively pursue women but instead find excitement in danger and aggression

It works, it's a motherfucking curse
This mentality may bring temporary satisfaction, but ultimately it is a negative and harmful trait

Just being black in America, swear I would tell you if I knew some perks
Being black in America may come with difficulties and challenges, and I have not found any advantages to this identity

My hood even the devil ran from, you know it's for you and your main song
My community is strong and resilient, and I will represent them through my music

And every one of your rhymes, you and your man, Sam, talk
I am aware of the insincere and repetitive content in some music

Did you saw Sam walk, Sam runs to the cops, phone drops, Sam sung
I highlight the cowardice and betrayal of some individuals

It's that underdog who they spit on again and again
I represent the underdogs who face discrimination and disrespect

I'm a pain in the ass and I know that ' never sitting down, where it go at
I am a difficult and persistent individual, always striving for success

Respect nigga, show that, pay day, boy, you owe that
I demand respect and recognition for my hard work and talent

I needed though, I'm leaving niggas faces on the floor, man
I am willing to fight for what I deserve and may leave people defeated in my path

I'm thrown back, sit back when a rapper turn in a clown
I disapprove of fake and insincere behavior in the music industry

If that's what you want then I'm holding it down
I refuse to participate in such behavior and will remain true to myself

One time for my niggas on lockdown
I give a shoutout to incarcerated individuals and show my support

Two times for my boys who got shot down
I pay tribute to those who have passed away due to gun violence

Three times for them girls got their head right
I acknowledge and support women finding empowerment and taking control of their lives

And if that head right then I'll be there every night
I show my dedication and loyalty to those I care about

I be the black dude, Spanish name
I reiterate my identity as a black man with a Spanish name

I'm just a black dude, Spanish name
I am just being true to myself and my identity

I be that black dude, Spanish name
I embrace and take pride in my unique identity

I be that black dude with the Spanish name
I highlight the uniqueness and beauty of my identity

That's me
I am proudly and unapologetically myself
