I'm the one who wonders "why we're so unstable like that?" While these n***as make these negus say that they don't like rap [Hook] I don't like that, - and i though i find a savage crude We'll still be n***as for life, just n***as with attitudes So we fight back, - and i though i find a savage crude We'll still be n***as for life, just n***as with attitudes New intelligence generates great astonishment Natural intellect Gathers Great Accomplishments [verse 2: O.H.M] n***a this, n***a that, n***as rap, that's a fact Asiatic, mathematic, afrocentric, yes i meant it k**adel, pistolvain, brothers with guns Who shut their mouths, mutter and hum. when officers come Ain't nobody sayin sh**, ain't nobody seen a thang We ain't hear it neither it's clear thats these negus got no brains...

[Verse 3: O.H.M] When Using the word "n***a" it's definition is KEY Acknowledge the Etymology, follow me and you'll see That it's n***a from n***a, n***a from Negro Negro from Negrum, Negrum form Negush Negush from Negus, Negus from Nagasha Now we've got the lineage, of the terminology Next we need the definitions listed chronologically n***a is an ebonic corruption of n***a A word used by the cracker to feel badder and bigger And these grow from negro, old english for black Negrum is latin and means the same thing as that Latin was the language that the romans used to speak Romans being people who loved to plunder from greece Whos word for black was "Aethiops" revealing the roots The greeks descended from ethiopians, and that's the truth I've handed you some history, now here's the use: In Ethiopia, the ruler was known as Negus - which stems from the Amharic word Negush The seed of: Nagasha. that's Ahmaric too Nagasha is defined as: He forced, and or ruled Amharic is the second most spoken semetic tongue Semetic meaning: of the trib of shem, noahs son Now i could get much deeper and reach straight into the history Clear away the mystery and shatter all the the disbelief But this is brief, just a small explanation Of why i'm that n***a. n***a what's your justification? ...brotha nothing is just a statement! [Outro] Word is BOND. what doesn't he word "n***a" bond you with? In the recent past, it was used to bond the black race with inferiority But the roots of that word, the old words that this new word derives from Serve to bond us with superiority, as royalty... How much does the past mean to you? will you stop digging as soon as you hit a stone Or will you keep drilling untill you reach gold? Think about it my n***a
