G-Fox, Chorus:
My Negus, some Negus that you don't wanna try
My Negus, the Negus that be up in the sky
My Negus, my Negus is ready do or die
My Negus, my Negus…
Professor D, Verse 1:
Yo this is
Strictly for my Negus don't get it confused
Let it get imbedded, set it in the rhetoric used
From the endless abuse let's erase the n word
And replace the n word with the greatness deserved
They say the root is managed from the Spanish language for black
But lets take it back again to the term of the African
Ethiopian Amharic The j**el be this
We replace the word n***a with the word Negus
And we crush the connotation of subjugation and substitute with
Something sayin' the African deserves admiration
Negus Nagast king of kings as in ancient Meso-
-potamian, now don't let ‘em mess up your name again
Lose the term of endearment to insult each other and let's
Exalt each other If you really are my brother
We use the word sound to burn down this troubling thing
Why would I treat my brother like anything other then King?
You're my Negus!
(Chorus)
NewSense, Verse 2:
They call us n***as and if we call us n***as then we're
Drowning in our ignorance surrounded by differences
Becoming lower citizens whose living in a place
Where they'd rather die from dividends then keep livin' in this cage
The government's making money of the tax in your place
And they're taxing your pay it's like a smack in the face
They ask you for your tax and you pay it you receive a
Receipt, but you were asking for change, lady society's
Soliciting cane, maybe violently push it away or
Be touched, man you ain't crack you're a king
Negus, no nonsense never negotiated extremely
Evolved ebony educated genuinely
Generated, gifted gods you underestimated
Usually you'll see savage social subjectivity
That's negus not n***as and I spit it in English for you so
You could distinguish the two, that's not what a n***a would do
(Chorus)
Progress Negus, Verse 3:
Definition of a negus is a king
So check mi definition definitely and how mi do mi ting
Mi's a king king vibes mi a'bring
Look loyal in mi robe and all mi turban
Mi still a king even with no bling
Zillion dollar brain and mi generating
Generally like a general Willy Lynch burial
Launch an attack and mi yam all'dem cereal
King complex mi a'build the imperial
Truth for the youth all'a elevate them spiritual
Root for the youth all'a grow ‘dem like miracle
King in'a di ring atomic power fa mi lyrical
In a world all designed to control your mind
Subjugation wan mek di people consumer
Flip it quick reflect light like lunar
Kings a'di earth ya better listen dis'a tune ya
(Chorus)
Professor D, Verse 4 Part 1:
This is not at all to put a man above another man
Or say all of my Negus' are descendants of Solomon
When we say King don't mean a king above men
But the kingdom of brotherly love amongst men
It's easy to repeat every lyric like a parrot
But instead why not try to be a parent?
And son a little Negus let ‘im do his thing
And raise a future king like Martin Luther King
NewSense, Verse 4 Part 2:
They put you down
Here (here?) yeah right about there just to
See if you can clear the uneven hurtle of fear, we're the
Little workers they need us that's why they heard us and breed us
Work us and teach us that we're as worthless as n***as, Negus we
Must synchronize as we bust sacred eyes out the
Painted white face of lies n***as created right
From the racist side of tainted white patriot pride
We've laid the labels on the table now today you decide!
(Chorus)
