Poetry From My Heart 2 Your Ears:
Once a NIGGER always a NIGGA!
-From "Niggers" to "Niggas"-
My own bruva calling me his "Nigga"...
Ignorance made audible...
The irony of a Prince calling Royalty the name of yet a Peasant.
The reproduction of humiliation...
Cushite kings & queens that lost definition
Lost of identity...
So we adapt & later adopt a noun chose for us...
Only to degrade our origin & tone
Only 2 redefine the connotation in ignorance
Spawning stagnation & malnourishment...
Leading to constipated thoughts
&
Ambitions with desire never to come from the inside...out!
Our people's destiny has not conceived a child...
Yet have aborted a future prosperity...
Eliminating our community by defining:
Our kings as only princes...
Our instructors as only apprentices,
Our trainers as only trainees
Our teachers as only tutors
Our tutors as only students
Our students as only average
Our experts as only novice
Our doctors as only nurses
Our leaders as only followers
Our entertainers as only clown jesters
We've grown 2 b more than that...
More than a
Prince
More than an
Apprentice
More than a
Trainee
More than a
Tutor
More than a
Student
More than
Average
More than
"My Nigga!"
Leaving Africa in America
We went from:
"Nigger!" to
"Colored", to
"Negro" to
"Afro" to
"Afro-American" and right back to
"Nigga!"
Only difference is the ignorant lips were thin & pink...
Today they're full & black
Words created by the ones that put us on a ship...
Now used 2 initiate companionship!
Stop following the leader & lead the followers
Don't choose the word they chose & don't wave the flag they raise
Conforming to confederate nostalgia & ignorant verbiage
Speak word 4 word the noun that should never be heard...
Out of the lips of Nubian kings and queens
A NOUN concocted from a lighter shade of brown
A NOUN taken lightly from the darker tone Nubian...far from home.
"Nigga:" Neither a PERSON/PLACE/nor THING
