Niggas, niggas, niggas

(This is insomnia)

Niggas, let me tell y'all 'bout some niggas

Niggas are living contradictions

Niggas stick to their convictions

Niggas fall prey to addictions

Niggas are full of unfulfilled ambitions

And some niggas are just full of shit

Always talking' about what they 'bout to do or trying to get

Niggas know a lot, they just ain't applying it yet

See niggas wax and wane

Niggas love to complain

Niggas love to hear themselves talk, but hate to explain

Some are trained to love outwardly and hate within

Desire what they can't have, give away what they can

Niggas are so superstitious, yet they claim to know God

And they live simple lives, and they think it's so hard

Niggas love being another man's judge and jury

Niggas love to be late, niggas hate to be hurried

Niggas procrastinate 'til it's time to worry

That's why when niggas get backed into a corner they to throw flurries

But I love niggas...

(While you were sleeping)

Niggas embody the truth, the good, bad, and the ugly

But niggas are beautiful too

Niggas live lives as kings born of queens

Who never taught them what their reign means

But niggas are learning, niggas are building

Niggas are finding their place at they own pace

Niggas are having children

Making symbolic unions with worthy women

Progenitors of the dream soon to be deferred no more

The encore to our suffering from our elders' pain

They will reclaim our glory and continue our original story

As it was in the beginning is now, and forever will be, the nigga in me
