Array ( [sid] => 141106 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Nigga this and Nigga that [time] => 2008-03-21 01:19:18 [hometext] => [bodytext] => 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...

keep writing change the world!
