we still niggers
to those that won’t ever see us
no other way 
but as descendants 
of their heroes slaves

we still niggers
and our freedom’s won’t see light 
of better days
just litigated terms
and slogan for campaign 

we still niggers
that’ll never be 
anything but
and forever nothing to them,
no matter what

we still niggers
sound and symbiotic suffer
living up to the low they expect
surrendering proper,
as their God says we must

we still niggers
not worth the acknowledgment 
of our astonishment
being the market and the product
with no actual accomplishment 

we still niggers
that accepted being nigger 
spelled and pronounced different
like there was really difference,
no nigger, there isn’t.

we still niggers
because founding and forefathers 
decided
that in order for them to be,
we couldn’t 

we still niggers
that keep looking 
for somewhere else to be
some place other than this
and we shouldn’t.
