We Are Not Niggas! (2026) By Kevin “Rashid” Johnson

We are not niggas!
And if I ever see a
N-I-double-G-A
It’s gonna be a
Bad day
And why’s that?
Cuz thems
The slurs and lies that
Been fired at
Our people
Meant to teach you
That we not equal
So now we project
That same disrespect
In our own direction
So we don’t practice
Mutual respect
Or protection
Even though
We was grown
They called us boys
Which now our
Women do
Being coy
They used everything foul
Blatant and subliminal
To demean and defile
So how insane
Is it that now
We claim the same
Insulting names
We are not niggas!
This is what they called us
Dared us to react
An act
Meant to convey that
We better play the back
Cuz we Black
They said that
We not the equal
Of white people
A name used to demean
And defeat you
To justify
Slavery rape
And genocide
A fate
We were never meant to
Survive
Or escape
Meant to create
Generations of hate
We are not niggas!
We are way bigger
Than what they may figure
I refuse to call my people
Names meant to trigger
A sense of being inferior
I know from whence
We came
Before we were abducted
And crossed that
Great ocean
In chains and pain
Before they stole our names
And wiped our minds
Of memories
Of kin and kind
So we
Would remain blind
I took the initiative
To find
The ties that bind
Me to our motherland
So we would understand
That we are the equals
Of any man
We are not niggas!
