Nothing But a Nigger
I was born brown into Babylon slavery.
Fresh of this banana boat,
Never assimilated to white society.
Guess I’m nothing but a nigger.
I was born with black skin
With no one else to call my kin
Except my fellow kin
With black skin.
Guess I’m nothing but a nigger.
I was born yellow like cake.
And now I can never feel mellow.
Because I’m nothing but a slave fellow
To bake like a cake in these
Hot slavery fields.
Guess I’m nothing but a nigger.
I’m just a nigger.
And their ego is only getting bigger
While our condition is only getting sicker.
And I can’t do anything about it
Because,
I’m nothing but a nigger.
