The N Word Lyrics

[Intro: Samples]
"God!" "Niggas" "King!"
"God!" "Niggas" "King!"
"God!" "Niggas" "King!"
"God!" "Niggas" "King!"
"God!" "Niggas" "King!"
"God!" "Niggas" "King!"
"God!" "Niggas" "King!"
"God!" "Niggas" "King!"
"God!" "Niggas" "King!"
"God!" "Niggas" "King!"
"God!" "Niggas" "King!"
"God!" "Niggas" "King!"

[Verse 1]
People that fought, but what were they fighting for?
All of our rights ignored, or rights to a word?
Innocent lives lost, ignorant minds
Holdin' the power to pause, or any power to search
I'm looking to find a source
Maybe the wounds started healing with time
Or it's something we've learned
Or maybe it's a bunch of individual beliefs
Cause there's always someone trying to give you that speech

[Hook]
Like what did you call me?
I ain't no nigga though
I know you didn't know
But I ain't no nigga though
What did you call me?
I ain't no nigga though
I know you didn't know
But I ain't no nigga though

[Verse 2]
People that fought, but what were they fighting for?
All of our rights ignored, or rights to a word?
What seem to ignite us more?
Invoking riots and breaking silences at the sight of a bigot at work
We fighting with picket swords
Swinging at fences like Barry Bonds
Swinging for fences while straining our shirts
I meditate on it while I inquire the God [testing?] the choir
I'm trying to enjoy some quiet in church
No answers in Heaven though, just some more questions
I did a little reflecting and came back the same way
But if changing a bad neighborhood to be good is good
Then why isn't changing bad words the same thing
I see it as words having power if you let 'em have power
I ain't letting no term control me
As if it was your meaning that was holding me back
But there's always somebody trying to overreact

[Hook]
Like what did you call me?
I ain't no nigga though
I know you didn't know
But I ain't no nigga though
What did you call me?
I ain't no nigga though
I know you didn't know
But I ain't no nigga though

[Bridge]
Gods, niggas, kings—call it out
Gods, niggas, kings—call it out
Gods, niggas, kings—call it out
Gods, niggas, kings—call it out

Gods, niggas, kings—call it out
Gods, niggas, kings—call it out
Gods, niggas, kings—call it out
If words are real, then which are you?

[Intro: Samples]
"God!" "Niggas" "King!"
"God!" "Niggas" "King!"
"God!" "Niggas" "King!"
"God!" "Niggas" "King!"
"God!" "Niggas" "King!"
"God!" "Niggas" "King!"
"God!" "Niggas" "King!"
"God!" "Niggas" "King!"
"God!" "Niggas" "King!"
"God!" "Niggas" "King!"
"God!" "Niggas" "King!"
"God!" "Niggas" "King!"
