Ima say nigga as long as I want
how I calls my kin ain't none of yo business
when it was important, you didn't care
when it came with a lynchin rope, you didn't care
when it came with a subservient stance, you didn't care
when it came with mass homicide, you didn't care
but now that it comes out the mouth
of a Marcy project billionaire, it's an issue
It's disgusting, inappropriate
Do you know what that word did to your people?
now that it comes out the mouths of comics who say,
that's my nigga, you care
You care now because we use it so freely
Now that we can respond, fuck you, when YOU say it, you care
Yeah, It has a history
We got some things to work out, yeah
Some demons to put away, of course
A discourse about how that word travelled galaxies
from a white mouth to mean, you piece of shit
To a black mouth to mean, my brother
Shit's fucked up
That's what happens when generations are
molested by white racist bullshit
You start acting it out, trying to work through the trauma
We know
Maybe it's a bit a self hate left in that word
A reminder that we were and will always
Be something else in this country, to this country
And we remind them of their ancestors hate every time they hear it
It's family business, we'll handle it around big momma's table
But until then, my guy is my nigga that's my brotha
And if after 500 years of slavery, mass murder and deconstruction of our family core
At the hands of your ancestors
The only thing you have to contend with is the inability to use the word, nigger, nigga
You got off easy.
