See What I See

by Eurse - Aries

Understand the word "Nigger"
Doesn't belong in my dictionary
It's a must you comprehend
That is very necessary
I see that you and your boys love that word
But for me, I think it's absurd
You see I know what it's like to have someone call me that
He wasn't saying because I'm ignorant
He was saying because I'm black
I fought many a day to let them know that's not how I roll
Respect is the key at least that's what I was told
Brothers and sisters have struggled on that road
We are fighting a hard battle and have a long ways to go
You don't hear them calling each other "cracker"
Really look who the war is going after
Brothers killing brothers is helping them
Obviously your light is on very dim
All I ask of you is to see what I see
Speak what's on your mind intelligently
Remember there's a struggle on that road
We are fighting a hard battle and have a long ways to go.

Reason for writing:

    Oneday I was coming from class and kept hearing these young black men saying "nigger" this and that and it really irked me, so I wrote about it.
