Add-2 - The N*ggalude lyrics

[Intro] It's just a n***alude It's just a n***alude [Verse 1] Mama said watch your tone, didn't know she meant my skin I learned that I'm a victim to my melanin Heard they wanna k** ya cause deep down they fear ya Calling you a thug cause they can't call you n***a n***a shot liquor store on your corner Keep you drunk cause they know if you were sober You get out the system, turn off your television You might live in their neighbourhood instead of in their prison You might escape the maze, say f** minimum wage You might could be their boss and turn them into your slave Yea, that's a white man's nightmare I pray you don't end up a casualty to white fear Strange fruit hanging from a southern tree Strange fruit rotting in the city street You love to talk about Bill Cosby raping women But y'all been raping us so n***a tell me what's the difference? [Interlude] It's just a n***alude It's just a n***alude [Verse 2] Dance n***a dance, your Bojangles for the day Devil enter in your temple, surely not to pray Now all these little Miley's wanna twerk just like the Keishas Do you blame the students or the teachers? They imitate the image, present it but we live it Pretend that it's a stereotype but damn it isn't Looking like p**n stars on Worldstar and Instagram pictures We don't praise brains, just ability to give it Love n***as selling d** rapping how they shooting guns You singing all them songs til that bullet hit your son We the same damn fools, know the same damn coons Who stand in line for the same damn shoes And we don't have a clue how to love each other God is great but Jim Crow was a motherf**er It's funny how it's the wannabe blacks that don't wanna be black It's f**ed up cause some blacks don't wanna be black [Outro] It's just a n***alude It's just a n***alude
