Just Another

Brown boys in a nation who seek an education
Ain’t shit but just another nigga
Brown men who pray for forgiveness to the almighty of forgiving
Ain’t shit but just another nigga
A society built of white supreme
Manifests in the upbringing dream of a man
Or what he ought to be
If he ain’t light
There’s no
“Yes we can”
But he’s brown and criminal
Charge him up
And exceed the charge of minimal
We brown folks, getting cracked like eggs
Depicted for the whites
And not wanted for the yolk
He’s just another nigga
“Aint shit, just like his father”
Who’s a man struggling abuse
could never raise his daughters
He’s just another nigga
battling the demons of society
He’s just another nigga
living with no oxygen
Because this world
Would rather that nigga
operate a cotton gin
