Lamar Jr. - N-I-G-G-A Lyrics

N-I-G-G-A
A word to put me down
A word to put me back on the ship I became
N-I-G-G-A
Why can't I say it
Why can't I give them the pain
When I hear white people say
N-I-G-G-A
A controversy that gives pain
And puts colored people in graves
I said
N-I-G-G-A
A powerful world
A racial slur
For some that's the last word they ever heard
I'm talking
N-I-G-G-A
A group of people put in chains
And enslaved
And when they're out
They put on a chain again
I'm talking
N-I-G-G-AS
A group of African king and queens
That are now crack fines and welfare queens
I'm talking
N-I-G-G-A
A word to describe you when you're not just black in the summer
I'm talking
N-I-G-G-A
And what else do I have to say
Thank you

N-I-G-G-A
A word to put me down
A word to put me back on the ship I became
N-I-G-G-A
Why can't I say it
Why can't I give them the pain
When I hear white people say
N-I-G-G-A
A controversy that gives pain
And puts colored people in graves
I said
N-I-G-G-A
A powerful world
A racial slur
For some that's the last word they ever heard
I'm talking
N-I-G-G-A
A group of people put in chains
And enslaved
And when they're out
They put on a chain again
I'm talking
N-I-G-G-AS
A group of African king and queens
That are now crack fines and welfare queens
I'm talking
N-I-G-G-A
A word to describe you when you're not just black in the summer
I'm talking
N-I-G-G-A
And what else do I have to say
Thank you
