[Intro]
It's just a niggalude
It's just a niggalude
[Verse 1]
Mama said watch your tone, didn't know she meant my skin
I learned that I'm a victim to my melanin
Heard they wanna kill ya cause deep down they fear ya
Calling you a thug cause they can't call you nigga
Nigga shot liquor store on your corner
Keep you drunk cause they know if you were sober
You get out the system, turn off your television
You might live in their neighbourhood instead of in their prison
You might escape the maze, say fuck minimum wage
You might could be their boss and turn them into your slave
Yea, that's a white man's nightmare
I pray you don't end up a casualty to white fear
Strange fruit hanging from a southern tree
Strange fruit rotting in the city street
You love to talk about Bill Cosby raping women
But y'all been raping us so nigga tell me what's the difference?
[Interlude]
It's just a niggalude
It's just a niggalude
[Verse 2]
Dance nigga dance, your Bojangles for the day
Devil enter in your temple, surely not to pray
Now all these little Miley's wanna twerk just like the Keishas
Do you blame the students or the teachers?
They imitate the image, present it but we live it
Pretend that it's a stereotype but damn it isn't
Looking like porn stars on Worldstar and Instagram pictures
We don't praise brains, just ability to give it
Love niggas selling drugs rapping how they shooting guns
You singing all them songs til that bullet hit your son
We the same damn fools, know the same damn coons
Who stand in line for the same damn shoes
And we don't have a clue how to love each other
God is great but Jim Crow was a motherfucker
It's funny how it's the wannabe blacks that don't wanna be black
It's fucked up cause some blacks don't wanna be black
[Outro]
It's just a niggalude
It's just a niggalude
It's just a niggalude
It's just a niggalude
