Asheru - n***as lyrics

[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 sh** 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
