Nigga this
And
Nigga that
Nigga don't you know
Nigga is derogatory for black
Nigga don't you know that we been fighting back
For 400 hundred years of slavery that we can't get back
How are we gonna stay int act
When you keep spouting out the word nigga stabbing Dr.Martin the back
Mr.X would turn over in his grave
Knowing the sons of slaves
Are Beating each other down with words these days
I'm in an outrage
It's harder then just turning the page
Cause you don't understand a life being in a cage
No not in a jail cell
I talking about a social hell
Living by Jim Crow's laws
Well let me educate y'all
There was a time
In the year 19-one-nine
When my three times great grand-father
Was standing in line
They yelled "Coon whats wrong, can't you read the sign"
You need to get your nigga ass up out of this line
It was a shame
nigga was his name
One in the same
And still you call your brother that not realizing the pain
It's not a game
Martin was slain
For things that he claim
He gave his life so folks can call you by your name
And how do you pay him back
By being the same jack
That told Rosa to stand up you need to move back
Now how sad is that
It wasn't that long ago
that you could have been strung up on any street light pole
Sacrificed your soul
For no other reason then having the skin color as coal
I just trying to bring a solution back
So y'all will stop with the
Nigga this
And Nigga that

| If 400 years of slavery can't open peoples eyes...then they are just going to be blind forever. People who use that term...are a disgrace. Ignorance runs rampant these days. Good poem. |

Excellent social commentary rap. The message is clear - throw off the cloak of oppression weaved in words and deeds that you have worn as your own, and move into the 21st century where this kind of racism, internalsed or expressed by others, has no place except in history books.
Thanks for posting.

I would think by now things would change but it seems not. I liked this and its message. You brought up many good points, I also despise the word...
