[Intro]
Uh, testing, testing, yuh
[Verse 1]
Take it all, and what do you have?
A kid on a Sunday taking a bath
You can't sleep, he's way too excited
He dreams of a place where everyone's invited to his first day of school
He's got a new shirt, new jeans and new shoes
He walks in the classroom, next to the bathroom
He sits down quick and everybody asks him:
"Where you from? Why don't you got no lunch money?
"What do you mean free lunch? And why you talk funny?"
I'm from California, my dad's in the Air Force
I get free lunch 'cause the state takes care of us
Took a ball and plays that down with the Play-Doh
Whitе kids blocks black kids with the Legos
I didn't notice thе separation until a little, later
Now they got me sitting in the middle, waiting
[Chorus]
Can't take this away from me
Tell me, what do I got?
What do I got?
What do I got?
The dangers of being a black kid
Uh, testing, testing, yuh
