That Nega Word

Emmanuel Owusu-Bonsu

Africans you cannot use the n word coz you were not enslaved

Ok so then why was my head shaved?
And how come I was forced to build the forts and not get paid?
And why then was I made to change the beings to which I prayed?
You think colonisers actually call me by my name?
No
We were both programmed to look in mirrors and feel shame
Flesh torn by the bullet
By the whip
By the cane
Just mourn when they pull it and they dip
It's insane
Same police
Fleecing us as sheep
Kneeling us asleep
Hoping we never wake up
Out of our shallow graves and dig deep
Into the most empathetic form of a human being possible
To re incept the concept that one love is not impossible
Hey
We are not the enemy
The same thing inside of you is the same inside of me
Malcom X
Kwame Nkrumah
Anikulapo Kuti
Nina Simone
Yaa Asantewaa
