Shut up
50 years ago they'd have you upside down with a fucking fork up your ass
You can talk you can talk you can talk
You're brave now motherfucker throw his ass out
He's a nigga he's a nigga he's a nigga a nigga look there's a nigga

The color of my skin content of my character
Dream of a king's been a nightmare for anyone
White with a badge or anyone slightly affected by the tide to this race that I'm running in
Pardon me y'all the racists I run against
The race war when it's us against all of them
They subconsciously low talk us
And probably all think as Kramer did still but won't talk it
And first off I ain't trying to be conscious
Speaking heart with a conscious talking to you
This dark content for those of dark complexion
Who's x-ed off rip who gon listen to us
Who gon speak for us who gon plead for us
Who gon be the Head N I C for us
Who gon defend us from crooked police on us
I'm just an insecure N I G er

Please listen to me
Please listen to me
Please listen to me N I G er
Please listen to me
Who gon listen to me
Who gon listen to me N I G er
Listen to me
Who gon listen to me
Who gon listen to me N I G er
Who gon listen to me
Who gon listen to me
Who gon listen to me N I G

Hey and P say that I should stop saying nigga
But if I did what would be the difference
I'd still be a nigga he'd still be a nigga in his feelings
I'd still be a nigga with no deal tryna get one
There'd still be niggas out killing
And still be white people still out to get us
And still be niggas saying whites tryna get us
And still be lazy and paranoid niggas
I'm paramount nigga I am and you can't be mad
Cause I choose the word nigga lemme air it out nigga
Nigga ain't bad see niggas just had
A clever idea to take something they said
Into something we have something we flipped
Into something with swag nigga don't be mad
Bitches ain't shit but women ain't bitches
See women are the queens and bitches just bitches
And bitches say bitch like bitch is not offensive
When niggas say bitch all of the sudden they offended
A nigga say nigga to a nigga
A nigga write nigga in a lyric
Expect the white boy to omit it
The white boy spit it like he spit it
Recite it to his friends who by the way ain't niggas
And say nigga nigga nigga my favorite rapper did it
And non nigga friends got it with him
Incorporate this lyric to their everyday living
Until a Black friend kinda hear it just a tidbit
He thinks aw forget it it's so insignificant and little
The white boy sees this as a clearance
Now it's nigga nigga nigga every single day
And that little nigga nigga think it's okay
And he's the only nigga in this particular grade
And it begins to faze him more each day
The things they say went a little too far
He couldn't tell the difference between a a or er
So they just keep going saying nigga in his face
There's nothing he can do he let it get away
It came to the point he couldn't look 'em in the face
The mirror made him hurl his reflection disgraceful
Yeah and make sure everything you say
Can't be held against you in any kind of way
And any connotation is viewed many ways
Cause under every nigga there's a little bit of Kramer
Self-hatred I hate you
And myself
Niggas

Uh I lost my temper on stage I was at uh a comedy club trying to um
Do my act and I got heckled and I I I took it badly and went into a rage
And uh uh said some pretty uh nasty things to some Afro Americans a lot of trash talk
For this to happen for me to be in a comedy club and flip out and say this crap
You know I'm I'm deeply deeply sorry

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
