I'm not a nigga no. I'm a black man
I've got the pride of Claude McKay. I'm a black man
I've got the courage of MLK. I'm a black man
The voice of Sojourner Truth. I'm a black man
I'm not a nigga no. I'm a black man
I've got the strength of my mama. I'm a black man
I've got the heart of my daddy. I'm a black man
I'm in the image of my God. I'm a black man

***Verse 1***
It's like I'm stuck in a bad dream an can't wake up of it
Nobody hears my screams no matter how loud get
I've been taken over by some cat I don'tknow
He came and stole my body, infiltrated my soul
So I'll stand on this railroad. Here comes the locomotive
I'm 'bout to kill this nigga. I'm unsure of my motive
Just know I want him gone. I want the nigga out my life
'Cuz everytime a nigga speaks it gives another nigga life
And another born is just an addition to our plight
The plight of our human race people red, yellow, black, and white
So it's not enough to kill just my nigga. I want a genocide
Black people we're lions let's take the nigga out the pride
'Cuz everytime it rolls off our tongue we're stabbing in the back
The brothers and sisters who fought so free could connect to black
We've bound ourselves in chains man and nigga's just one of the links
I can't break it on my own. I'm strong but need power of we
But too many of we have decided that nigga should be
Every black man's name. The black man's I.D.
So I write this rhyme in red ink, dip my pen in the Dead Sea
Spill blood on my pad to kill the nigga that's been killing me

***Verse 2***
See I'm gon' write this verse on envelopes so I can address
All the niggas that make a nest and fly out of white breath
This type of halitosis no amount of Scope or Crest
Gon' ever make a difference 'cuz the problem rests beneath the breast
It's within the heart of every bigot, every racist person
Within the spirit of everybody who don't know for certain
That we're all a child of God, we're all created equal
That we are Watu Moja. That means we're One People
So white man white man let me tell you this
You're still my brother even though color is of a different mix
And I'm gonna love you whether or not you ever give a spit if
I laugh or cry, I live or die when you verbally crack your whip
And black man black man let me say to you
Just keep your cool when a white spits a nigga at you
Don't let it light your fuse. Just let it roll right off your back
Smile at 'em kindly and pray they find the sense they lack
'Cuz if you let that nigga make you bleed you help that nigga breath
And you make that man bleed you become the nigga he wants to see
So I write this rhyme in red ink, dip my pen in the Dead Sea
Spill blood on my pad to kill the nigga that's been killing me
