[Intro:]
HEY N***A, HEY WASSUP MA N***A
HEY N***A, N***A, N***A, N***A, N***A, N***A
Hey man, dont call me that...
WELL, WHAT DO YA WANT ME TO CALL YOU??
[Chorus]
Call me something good, dont call me the n-word
Call me your brother, yeah
Call me something good, dont call me the n-word
Call me your brother, yeah
[Verse 1]
Afroman, North-ader
Today's topic is the n-word
The n-word is traced to the Latin word "niger" which now we know is Spanish word "negro"
The Southern, misspronociation occured
And that was the birth of the n-word
By the 1800s, it was firmly established, into a provacatory name
Humilation and shame, and it remains, a principle term
For racism lower than an earth worm
No matter who's using it, who's abusing it
If you knew the trick, you would be losin' it
The American, auto, police suss
Racial slurs for all ethnic groups
The n-word, hate and mistrust
Rape, humilation, total disgust
[Chorus]
Call me something good, dont call me the n-word
Call me your brother, yeah
Call me something good, dont call me the n-word
Call me your brother, yeah
[Verse 2]
The n-word, English facts
Sarcastic acts, ridiculing blacks
A term of exclusion, player-hater
A verbal reason for descrimination
Whether an adjective, verb or noun
It's meant to put black people down
Non black people, believed the heist
And it reinforces, stereotypes
Worthless, dirty, stupid, lazy
What's you called me? You crazy
A black man performed the first heart surgery
And the n-word is not the racial slur for me
The most extensive word, the most intensive word
The most expensive word, the most offensive word
The dark skin, of an African
Offended the eyeballs of the Englishman
[Chorus]
Call me something good, dont call me the n-word
Call me your brother, yeah
Call me something good, dont call me the n-word
Call me your brother, yeah
[Verse 3]
Plantation owners, used to eat food
Make black men fight, like a pitbull
Ya seen that movie "Django"?
That's how black men had to tangle
Black were taught, to hate each other
Instead of your master, kill your brothers
Sell mama, sell papa, sell the baby like a turd
The first thing the baby heard was the n-word
The slave owner, was the parency
And he taught self-hate apperantly
He taught black folks, how to hate black folks
To use the n-word in "yo mama" and black jokes
It's so absurd, some people prefer to be greeted by the n-word
I'm the black that dissagrees, don't say the n-word to me
Thank you
[Chorus]
Call me something good, dont call me the n-word
Call me your brother, yeah
Call me something good, dont call me the n-word
Call me your brother, yeah
