I am sick and tired of the ignorance of the world 
All arguing over a simple word 
I never actually thought it was that deep until I saw this ish on the TV
'Who can say the word n-igga' it read 
Imma be honest I agreed with all the statements noted 
1. Only black people 
2. White people can if it's in a song
3. No one should 
Because at the end of the day we are the ones to give the word it's definition
Cause even if it is in a song it's bad anyway cause it's about them getting b-tches 
So either way it's in the wrong context 
And don't you think that if everyone is screaming that word 
like n-gga this and n-gga that people are gonna imitate 
Don't even call me it in the first place 
Im just a young black female in this big world and will not be called any word but my name 
Don't get me wrong it came from a bad place 
Slavery ain't even a thing to imitate 
It ain't a joke 
It's a deep thing which killed many people who were black those days 
By us screaming that we need to forgive and forget 
How is dwelling on the past going to help us move on in life 
As your making us remember that the word n-gga 
came from the back lashes engraved on our ancestors backs 
leading them to the ongoing graves
It's sad because one month every year we learn where it came from 
Yes you still put it in songs 
Let's not be dumb obviously it's gonna be said there the lyrics 
So why get mad wen a white man sings along to the same songs as you 
That's why if no one used it and left it behind with the graves of the loved unknown we may move on 
Maybe I'm wrong and we should use the word 
As we are embracing our roots
But if you want to embrace them by remembering there was a time were we were smaller then the 'superior' ethnicity 
Then that's up to you.
