NIGGER
What makes me different? Why’s everybody staring?
Is it really a problem? Is it the skin that I’m wearing?
It’s so scary to be thought as a different kinda species
I ain’t nobody special, but that’s the way you treat me!
Like a disease! The Black Plague or something gross!
All of my so-called friends are one’s I hate the most!
I’m a scapegoat, the scratching post, and fuckin bait!
Fuck who I am inside, it’s the damn outside they hate!
Can’t wait to be in a place where I’m truly accepted!
I’m a nigger in your eyes, so now I’m swiftly rejected!
Not good enough, fast enough, not cool to be with you
Not nice? Must be a leper! Is that what I am to you!
Oh please, don’t feel threatened by my appearance!
I am a fucking person too with a real brain and spirit!
But you look away bitch, cuz I’m really not your type
I’m like a fucked up movie! I can’t live up to the hype!
You spit on me and call me names, categorizing shit!
Judging me and begrudging me, kinda like a filthy git!
I hate seeing our eyes meet and you quickly look away!
You saw me and hated it, so you didn’t wanna stay!
My face is in the homeless, abused, and the children!
My face is in the crowd at work, a jerk in the building!
I am on your Facebook wall! I’m a friend but just me!
You know me, love me, and sometimes you trust me!
Do you see, the real nigger is you! You are so blinded!
You have a heart but it is so small you can not find it!
Wanna look cool for all your so-called 'cool’ friends!
So you go throw us under the bus to impress them!
Treat us like trash! Fucking racist! Yeah, go figure!
Take a look in a mirror and tell me you’re not a NIGGER!
