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

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

But I love n***as...
(While you were sleeping)
N***as embody the truth, the good, bad, and the ugly
But n***as are beautiful too
N***as live lives as kings born of queens
Who never taught them what their reign means
But n***as are learning, n***as are building
N***as are finding their place at they own pace
N***as 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***a in me
