If I don't live the struggle, then why do I flow

I'm just another Wigger man, what do I know

If y'all don't wanna hear the way the truth unfolds

Just cover your ears and say na na na na



It's like we sleep safe but we walk with danger

They say in Jamaica, Queens don't talk to strangers

It's like we look for violence in our darkest neighbours

But it's the stillest snakes that'll spit the harshest vapours

It seems it's always random shootings never bout karma

Ain't done shit? You're a target, ask Pantera guitarist

But hold up a second. I remember this concert

Pantera in Verdun when I was just a kid mosher

I remember the lead singer cough up and say

To a bouncer "Hey nigger, get the fuck off the stage"

Sometimes you get murked for the word that you spit

Not saying he deserved it, but we should learn from it

C'mon go further with it. because we're hurting from it

Stop this fucking madness instead of nurturing it

With blacks it's been about sacrifice and cost

But whites seem to think that it's a paradise lost





If I don't live the struggle, then why do I flow

I'm just another Wigger man, what do I know

If y'all don't wanna hear the way the truth unfolds

Just cover your ears and say na na na na



In the 21st Century it's movie trash race hate

What's the difference 'tween White Chicks and black face paint

Birth of a Nation or the death of the dream

It's like Jackie's still trying to earn respect from his team

Affirmative Action or negative stalemate?

Is that a free black man or relative Jailbait

Everybody knows that one discreet bigot

Who says "Listen, I've had coloureds over to eat dinner"

Or that white girl who thinks it's trendy to date a brother

Or does it cause she wants to get back at her mother

Or maybe she just dates him cause she knows that he's bigger

But when they break up, the first thing she calls him is

"Hey! They say the n-word why can't we? " Go figure

Civil rights don't give whites the right to say nigger

"But Anni you just said it", I guess I don't get it

But maybe a word can only harm us if we let it





If I don't live the struggle, then why do I flow

I'm just another Wigger man, what do I know

If y'all don't wanna hear the way the truth unfolds

Just cover your ears and say na na na na



I know these ain't common topics that make up a song

I know a lot of cats will end up taking it wrong

Rodney said to get along, it's taking way too long

Maybe both sides have a pride that's way too strong

Yeah, I'm thieving black music, but I'm giving back to it

I'm facing this shit head on, ain't putting my back to it

If only Kipling had had a chat with Du Bois

Jim Crow might of died sooner, replaced by new law

If Josh Gibson had had the chance to hold the bat

Then they wouldn't keep hating on that black quarterback

If actor Paul Robeson was allowed to prosper

Then Malcolm X would have won Denzel the Oscar

If Ol' Blue Eyes had played the Apollo with John Coltrane

Then in 2004 there would have been no Soul Plane

If Sam Cooke could have rocked the mic with Elvis

Then Dr. King might not have lost his life in Memphis
