Dean Atta - I Am Nobody's n******g #StephenLawrence lyrics

I Am Nobody's n******g Rappers when you use the word "n******g" remember that's one of the last words Stephen Lawrence heard, so don't tell me it's a reclaimed word. I am nobody's n******g So please, let my ancestors rest in peace Not turn in their graves in Jamaica plantations Or the watery graves of the slave trade Thrown overboard into middle pa**age Just for insurance claims They were chained up on a boat As many as they could manage and stay afloat Stripped of dignity and all hope Awaiting their masters and European names But the sick and the injured were dead weight to toss And Lloyds of London would cover that cost. I am nobody's n******g So you can tell Weezy and Drake That they made a mistake I am nobody's n******g now So you can tell Kanye and Jigga I am not a n******g... in Paris I'm not a n******g in London I'm not a n******g in New York I'm not a n******g in Kingston I'm not a n******g in Accra Or a n******g with attitude in Compton Cos "I don't wanna be called yo n***a" How were you raised on Public Enemy And still became your own worst enemy? You k**ed Hip Hop and resurrected headless zombies That can't think for themselves or see where they're going Or quench the blood lust because there's no blood flowing In their hearts, just in the streets They don't give a damn as long as they eating Their hearts ain't beating, they're cold as ice (bling) Because they would put money over everything Money over self respect or self esteem Or empowering the youth to follow their dreams Stacking paper cos it's greater than love it seems Call me "n******g" cos you're scared of what "brother" means To know that we share something unspeakable To know that as high as we rise we are not seen as equal To know that racism is institutional thinking And that "n******g" is the last word you heard before a lynching.
