[Verse 1]
People that fought, but what were they fighting for?
All of our rights ignored, or rights to a word?
Innocent lives lost, ignorant minds
Holdin' the power to pause, or any power to search
I'm looking to find a source
Maybe the wounds started healing with time
Or it's something we've learned
Or maybe it's a bunch of individual beliefs
Cause there's always someone trying to give you that speech

[Hook]
Like what did you call me?
I ain't no n***a though
I know you didn't know
But I ain't no n***a though
What did you call me?
I ain't no n***a though
I know you didn't know
But I ain't no n***a though
[Verse 2]
People that fought, but what were they fighting for?
All of our rights ignored, or rights to a word?
What seem to ignite us more?
Invoking riots and breaking silences at the sight of a bigot at work
We fighting with picket swords
Swinging at fences like Barry Bonds
Swinging for fences while straining our shirts
I meditate on it while I inquire the God [testing?] the choir
I'm trying to enjoy some quiet in church
No answers in Heaven though, just some more questions
I did a little reflecting and came back the same way
But if changing a bad neighborhood to be good is good
Then why isn't changing bad words the same thing
I see it as words having power if you let 'em have power
I ain't letting no term control me
As if it was your meaning that was holding me back
But there's always somebody trying to overreact

[Hook]
Like what did you call me?
I ain't no n***a though
I know you didn't know
But I ain't no n***a though
What did you call me?
I ain't no n***a though
I know you didn't know
But I ain't no n***a though
[Bridge]
Gods, n***as, kings—call it out
Gods, n***as, kings—call it out
Gods, n***as, kings—call it out
Gods, n***as, kings—call it out

Gods, n***as, kings—call it out
Gods, n***as, kings—call it out
Gods, n***as, kings—call it out
If words are real, then which are you?
