Nigger
U*S*A 2002
Can't take dat
sting away
de sting from
nigger
ah poor ass nigger
cause nigger
is poor
and poor is ah
nigger.
Embrace nigger
with all de ills
of livin
ah nigger life
liquor cures
all curse den
hunger of havin
nothin
but de smell
of stale
urine and shit.
Hunger of havin
nothin but ah bitch for the dogs
tight leopard
spots
running ruin
to her hips
yellin everyday- "But
ain't he
ah black ass
nigger
ah dirt poor
nigger."
Hunger of havin
nothin
but ah mammy
swearin
in Jesus name
"I'll kill dis
nigger."
A bastard only
screams
what his mama
been taught
"You fuckin Nigger."
Can't take dat
smell away
neda-nev-ah
of skin burnin
of flesh on fire
ah bloodthirsty
explosion.
Can't embrace
nigger
without de ills
of being
the only Negro
in Holland Michigan
white suburbia
--white background
even if the University
invited you;
the white faculty
with their cherry
smiles
says " it's because
we
Needed a show
and dance nigger."
Even if your
walls are covered
with awards fooled
into what
you can afford;
to sit in Holland's
gourmet café
two white construction
workers
can still say
niggers are everywhere
now.
Can't embrace
nigger
Without embracing
Negro Joe
who dreams of
jumping higher
running faster-climbing-swimming
bursting out
his exile of skin.
With something
to lose never quite sure of what
his legacy of
having
Dirt poor nigger
skin?
His possibilities
for true love
sticking his
big black dick into
some white chick-any
white chick?
Framed into
black and white
motions
de sting still
lives
cause nigger
is dirt poor
and poor is ah
nigger.
