about

The song is a social commentary on the use of the n-word as a term of endearment; its uniqueness to African-Americans and the #ADOS movement; and its use in contemporary black life to distinguish African-Americans from other identities in the black Diaspora, and from non-black identities of color.

lyrics

Niggas wanna take my shit
Niggas wanna act real slick
I’m talkin ya’ll niggas
Niggas say they want the carrot, but they get the stick
A nigga’s head harder than a brick (my nigga!)

Niggas wanna run up real quick
Niggas talkin with the toothpick
Them some beautiful niggas
Niggas like Versace but they homophobic
Timbs for the ass they ‘bout to kick

Niggas slave descendants that’s a whole notha’ angle
Black aint all the same
Why ya’ll get that shit entangled
A.D.O.S. niggas know we got our own lingo
Tracing our ancestors way back to the shango

Why you think we can’t let the pain go
Dealin’ what that same ole’ same ole’
White fuckshit
Gotta make you wonder why our parents so strict
They rush to beat our ass, so the cops won’t do it

Niggas paying twice for a seat at the table
Niggas not gon’ be interrupted
Fuck it
You don’t like it
You don’t want to hear it
Kick a bucket
Niggas gettin’ tired of being used like a puppet

Niggas cuttin’ ties with that P.O.C.
You here 'cause of my black legacy
While disrespecting people like me
And you wouldn’t even be
Here if my ancestors didn’t die to be free

Niggas wanna take my shit
Niggas wanna act real slick
I’m talkin ya’ll niggas
Niggas say they want the carrot, but they get the stick
A nigga’s head harder than a brick (my nigga!)

Niggas wanna run up real quick
Niggas talkin’ with the toothpick
Them some beautiful niggas
Niggas like Versace but they homophobic
Timbs for the ass they ‘bout to kick
