Wanna be, Don't need to be

Wanna be, Don't need to be



Too many times in too many lines in too many ways

People try to be the same

Acting out an idea, spreading silly idea's. for one idea

To be seen, to be envied, to be a Nigga

Most of these wanna be, try to be, die to be Nigga's

When they don't wanna be, shouldn't be, don't need to be Nigga's

Half of them don't know the histroy behind the term

Still they play out, say out, go way out to be Nigga's

When did being African become a crime and it became cool to be a Nigga

I thought Nigga meant death, Nigga meant bad, Nigga meant NIGGER

Somehow some one some way made some evil term mean

What they wanted it to mean while keeping the dirty sting

I still pause when I hear, get mad when they say it

Wanna be cry when I see and meet a wanna be, don't need to be Nigga

I still don't believe in the "Nigga"

But they're trying to make it real as they

Try their hardest to see, beat, be a real Nigga

So where my Nigga's at...I never seen one

So where my Nigga's at...I never believed in one

SO WHERE MY NIGGA'S AT?

All I see is some wanna be, Don't need to be FOOLS

Trying to be Nigga's
