I still don't don't understand
How you help me prosper then make me feel like a tool
Then you telling me don't forget you when I'm famous 
So now that I'm making music you suddenly think I'm cool?

Or maybe I'm just ignorant
Maybe that's how you play and lately I ain't been feeling it probably cus I'm negligent
The concept is settling
Maybe at some point we'll all be better men

But Please don't make me your focus
Pushing everything away and I'm scared that you fail to notice
You leaving dreams as dreams and I ain't up for having that
I know the goal is royalty but you gone have to grasp for that

I would say more power to you but where it at
not the best guy screaming "how could you!" Loud in the back
I still love myself cause hate comes that's a fact
I'm not African American cause my color is black

The n word doesn't specifically mean black
The hard r doesn't specifically mean black
Negro only specifically mean black
Negro only specifically mean black
The n word doesn't specifically mean black
The hard r doesn't specifically mean black
Negro only specifically mean black
Negro only specifically mean black

It's difficult to explain 
Think less of the word of choice and more of the phrasing claim
I'm aware that its weird that their skin ain't the same
But we cling on it for power so we are the ones to blame

But lil Tommy, please, now don't get it twisted
Don't belittle my people with words to hide that we're gifted
Don't go to the street and say "rap said that I can say now"
Cus somebody will check your chin and you'll just be another clown
 
Brothers and sisters, please, be open forgive em
Understand that it's just a word and we use it with ignorance
I think we can start asking "what do it mean to you?"
So we can know and comprehend what makes it so powerful 

Cus we are lost, gone, our minds are misplaced
Our brains can't even comprehend why this word still our race
And time as slaves we decided to own it over fight it
I Hope you understand  we the power of the misguided

The atomic bomb of racial slurs
Everyone uncomfortable after hearing this foul word
What if I educated you about the acronym
To be forgotten hidden away just like a secret gem

Don't be a nigga, don't be a Savage, don't be a monster
Don't be known as a devil's accomplice
Just be N.I.G.G.A., share your kindness, collect you commas
And just remember Never Ignorant and Getting Goals Accomplished

Cus we fight hard, when life's hard, just know that we earned it
All the way to MLK we were told that we were worthless
And all the beautiful colors bullied off the buses and streets
So we boycott restaurants sit down with nothing to eat

We got treated like squirrels getting chased around by dogs
We stand together cus divided prepare to fall
You still wanted the power so you would scream
Reminding us we were ornaments hanging by the trees

So we spend our time getting hose down like dirty fiends
While these stupid ghost dress up too early for Halloween
But now I leave that alone cus I choose to be United
And forgiveness is the one true power of the misguided
