Can we talk?
about the word "nigga"
for just a moment, if you please...
I know its taboo, but i wanna
talk about the one word,
that seems to bring us to our knees.
Let`s release
the trigger on this word "nigga"
and the invisible gun it holds to our head.
By discussing the true meaning of the word,
and what really is being said.....
Here, a "nigga"
is only a word, intended to make
black people run and hide
from the true definition of themselves,
defined only in our strength and our pride.
There, a nigga
is a person from the land of Niger,
should the truth be told.
They are an intelligent Black people,
stolen from thier land, for thier ivory and gold,
chained and brought to a foreign country,
also, to be bought and sold.
Now...
I know nothing of "ignorance",
and refuse to take part in thier masters plan.
Becasue now this nigga understands
it doesn`t take too smart of a man,
to steal yet another tribes`s land,
and when he gets it....
he can`t work it by his own hand.
Be proud....
to be from the lineage of a tribe,
that our task masters can only describe,
as the backbone of thier borrowed land,
due to the intelligence of their black man.
And don`t go around here hanging your head,
instead, lift it with pride.
And stop letting this one little word,
make you break your stride.
Nigga, please!!!!!
