n*ggas lyrics

by

Talib Kweli


[Asheru]
n*ggas, n*ggas, n*ggas
(This is insomnia)
n*ggas, let me tell y'all 'bout some n*ggas

n*ggas are living contradictions
n*ggas stick to their convictions
n*ggas fall prey to addictions
n*ggas are full of unfulfilled ambitions
And some n*ggas are just full of sh*t
Always talking' about what they 'bout to do or trying to get
n*ggas know a lot, they just ain't applying it yet
See n*ggas wax and wane
n*ggas love to complain
n*ggas love to hear themselves talk, but hate to explain
Some are trained to love outwardly and hate within
Desire what they can't have, give away what they can
n*ggas are so superstitious, yet they claim to know God
And they live simple lives, and they think it's so hard
n*ggas love being another man's judge and jury
n*ggas love to be late, n*ggas hate to be hurried
n*ggas procrastinate 'til it's time to worry
That's why when n*ggas get backed into a corner they to throw flurries

But I love n*ggas...
(While you were sleeping)
n*ggas embody the truth, the good, bad, and the ugly
But n*ggas are beautiful too
n*ggas live lives as kings born of queens
Who never taught them what their reign means
But n*ggas are learning, n*ggas are building
n*ggas are finding their place at they own pace
n*ggas are having children
Making symbolic unions with worthy women
Progenitors of the dream soon to be deferred no more
The encore to our suffering from our elders' pain
They will reclaim our glory and continue our original story
As it was in the beginning is now, and forever will be, the n*gga in me
