We are not niggas!
\nAnd if I ever see a
\nN-I-double-G-A
\nIt’s gonna be a
\nBad day
\nAnd why’s that?
\nCuz thems
\nThe slurs and lies that
\nBeen fired at
\nOur people
\nMeant to teach you
\nThat we not equal
\nSo now we project
\nThat same disrespect
\nIn our own direction
\nSo we don’t practice
\nMutual respect
\nOr protection
\nEven though
\nWe was grown
\nThey called us boys
\nWhich now our
\nWomen do
\nBeing coy
\nThey used everything foul
\nBlatant and subliminal
\nTo demean and defile
\nSo how insane
\nIs it that now
\nWe claim the same
\nInsulting names
\nWe are not niggas!
\nThis is what they called us
\nDared us to react
\nAn act
\nMeant to convey that
\nWe better play the back
\nCuz we Black
\nThey said that
\nWe not the equal
\nOf white people
\nA name used to demean
\nAnd defeat you
\nTo justify
\nSlavery rape
\nAnd genocide
\nA fate
\nWe were never meant to
\nSurvive
\nOr escape
\nMeant to create
\nGenerations of hate
\nWe are not niggas!
\nWe are way bigger
\nThan what they may figure
\nI refuse to call my people
\nNames meant to trigger
\nA sense of being inferior
\nI know from whence
\nWe came
\nBefore we were abducted
\nAnd crossed that
\nGreat ocean
\nIn chains and pain
\nBefore they stole our names
\nAnd wiped our minds
\nOf memories
\nOf kin and kind
\nSo we
\nWould remain blind
\nI took the initiative
\nTo find
\nThe ties that bind
\nMe to our motherland
\nSo we would understand
\nThat we are the equals
\nOf any man
\nWe are not niggas!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
