I Am Nobody's Nigger

See me not

I do not want you to

Fear me not

I am no harm to you

Hear me not

These words are not for you

You devour hearts and dreams

You said the universe was ours

I wasn’t

Trying to trap you in this

Habitual cycle I just came to

Offer you relief and now you

Think I’m your only hope of

Happiness

They say when you die your life flashes before your eyes

Then I guess I’ve been dying to meet you here

I guess it’s nice to know I can get what I want

But maybe I should want more than this

I loved you more

Than any one of my rhymes

I only big myself up because I’m scared you’ll forget me

But why do these children hate a country

That so many would literally die to get to?

If we could speak with our mother’s tongue

Not let our skin speak for us

But join in the family chorus

I am the axe that cut myself open
