[Asheru] Niggas, niggas, niggas (This is insomnia) Niggas, let me tell y'all 'bout some niggas
Niggas are living contradictions Niggas stick to their convictions Niggas fall prey to addictions Niggas are full of unfulfilled ambitions And some niggas are just full of shit Always talking' about what they 'bout to do or trying to get Niggas know a lot, they just ain't applying it yet See niggas wax and wane Niggas love to complain Niggas 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 Niggas are so superstitious, yet they claim to know God And they live simple lives, and they think it's so hard Niggas love being another man's judge and jury Niggas love to be late, niggas hate to be hurried Niggas procrastinate 'til it's time to worry That's why when niggas get backed into a corner they to throw flurries
But I love niggas... (While you were sleeping) Niggas embody the truth, the good, bad, and the ugly
But niggas are beautiful too Niggas live lives as kings born of queens Who never taught them what their reign means But niggas are learning, niggas are building Niggas are finding their place at they own pace Niggas 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 nigga in me
