Lynch The N Word!

Lynch The N Word!

What’s up my nigga?
Was the term of endearment that he gave
I paused and looked around like
You talking to me?
Cause to me a nigga is a modern day slave
See niggas is livin in America with one foot in the devils grave
But because you getting paid nigga
You think you got it made nigga
Because you irate and can show and prove that you can hate a nigga?
My father use to say “the Black man is a coward, cause he wanna act like a man while real men are handling the affairs of the world”.
Real mean are trading diamonds, copper, oil, steel and uranium
Real mean are thinking long range and manipulating interest rates and the stock exchange
While niggas are playin games.
Niggas are playing games like “who shot ya?”
Niggas are playing games like whose darker?
And who look like Beyonce and who look like Ms. Parker?
Who got the fattest pre-fabricated MTV cribs?
Who got the fattest ass girl what you mean?
You should be playing hopscotch girl you only 13
And whose pimpin they rides
Nigga, do you know what pimp mean?
Niggas are being pimped by the government and political machine
Niggas are being pimped by immigrant merchants in our hoods
We got Arabs and Jews selling us swine, blunts and cancer sticks
Koreans selling us hip hop clothes
And international niggas selling us what we put up our nose
Parasites!
I ask why you buy from parasites dog
He be like “it’s all good, it’s all gravy”
Niggas are being pimped by the army airforce marines and navy
Niggas are being pimped by the prison industrial complex
And you thought pimpin just had to do with money cash hoes and sex
Niggas need to study lessons that Elijah, Malcolm, Louis, Clarence and them gave
And maybe then he will realize, that a nigga is a modern day slave
NiGGA!

If only we could hang that word out to dry...I feel ya famlee.

[Babygirl]

aren't we tired of the word yet? haven't we learned anything about what it means? check out the video in Open Mic Night called Niggers Niggas & Niggaz by Julian Curry. its talking about this same thing. great piece CipherKam

ignorance is a strong thing... sadly many people are aware of these truths you speak of yet they decide not to apply the knowldge because they've been brainwashed into thinking it's just a word instead of a lifestyle... very well put and i agree, the word should be lynched!

I especially like the title. I'm all for that. This was very nice (this is what I came here for). I especially like how you harped on what your dad meant by what he said... the rest of the world is dealing in stuff of value and all a foolish man does is sit around and exploit himself, act wastefully, and contribute to their gains.

"Parasites" I'll have to remember that.

definitely word that needs to be done away with.
I hate when i hear kids in the street saying it to each other.
It makes me Irate especially when the child is black.
I lecture them all the time on how their family's were slaves and suffered such torcher. And how fought hard so that the youth of today wouldn't have to carry that ugly word
And then your gonna shame them and use the word as it's a good thing.

I agree, that the word denotes a negative stereotype; However, I find myself conflicted between changing words when they culminate a culture of their own. American society is slowly becoming a rather dull "soup" rather than a country open to individual cultures. The N word has an undeniable stigma attached to it, but through education and open mindedness, we can learn that black vernacular has its good side as well. It's a form of togetherness and human connection, and it can also be used as sarcasm and irony as well. With words like this, we can FIGHT ignorance if we use them in a witty and positive way, This is just my opinion. I still call feral children "feral children" although it is generally frowned upon by "society" because it has a negative stereotype of the "wild child". But I love them for being feral and I don't judge them at all because i know the history of feral children, so why Shouldn't I continue to call them this, because others are too lazy to learn the truth? I don't think so.
A very good write, I enjoy the title very much and am looking forward to more of your work!

powerful line right there.............................................................................................................

[bythewurd]

The "N" word ... and its use is a constant point of contention....
Personally .... It makes no sense to try and rationalize its use ...as a term of ..." endearment " ? between friends & fam. Derogatory terms are ..just that no matter who sports 'em !

Great scribe....welcome to the Oasis
Tight scribe.... you captured some issues in cretive perspective

Kudos.
Blesssssssssssss
