The End of the "N"

I've been using the word NIGGA ever since I heard "NIGGA" being used on the curb where cats serve and sip liquor

As I started to get bigger, it seeped into my vocab... I began writing raps, it would creep in my notepad

No big deal, I use the word every day- as an adjective, noun, verb- basically every way

I could, because I'm 'hood and that's just the way we speak- so of course I'm gonna use it when I slay these beats

But lately

Current events motivate me

To not glorify the very word used to degrade me

The very same word I use with such negligence

Is also used to imply my lack of intelligence

So, confused and perplexed- still using it, yes

But in my daily conversation I'm using it less

Now the next faze is starting the next craze,

And un-doing a habit I've had for decades

So here's to the "N" word, in all of it's glory

We had a fairy tale romance, but it's the end of the story

So let me get it out of my system... NIGGA, NIGGA, NIGGA, NIGGA, NIGGA...

Okay, I'm done- a new day has begun.
