Brew Commentary: Enough with the "N" Word!

Our very own Brew Dude, "Ask a Cash," has hidden talent, aside from telling chicks they ain't all that, Boo Boo. Turns out... he's got quite a view on one of the many ills plaguing our community. Check out his latest work, titled "Get Off."

Get Off

We escaped Pharaoh, and made it through the mist of the wilderness,
Defied every odd and made them all sit and witness it,
Learned to read and write when we were struggling to be free,
Have our shows, they thought we’d never be on TV,
Did naturally what they needed training to master,
Covered our pain and sorrow with the healing of laughter,
Broke records in a field as segregated as golf,
Watched them emulate our style, mimic the “cool” way we walk,
And we’ve touched every field from doctor to astronomer,
Lawyer, chemist, broker, even called us “Your Honor”,
And the President? We did that. Even some of them love rap,
But if you want me to be real, I still don’t understand that,
With all that we’ve done and accomplished, go figure,
We still think it’s okay to call another man a “nigger”,
And pull triggers on brothers in a request to be thugs,
Wanting to own your own label, meantime you sell drugs,
I’d love to gather you up, maybe I’ll say you’ve won the lotto,
Tie you and bleach your skin and blame it all on vitiligo,
Cause you’re part of the problem, you’re batting for the other team,
I mean, don’t be deceived thinking that because a dream,
Has been fulfilled that it’s all over, weights still on our shoulders,
And we will never get over as long as we let that word mold us,
And we created trends, why not? Abolish the word and plot,
Our own destiny outside of what you hear in hip-hop,
Cause bigots don’t die, but they’re dying of laughter,
Every time we use the word, time to change this chapter,
And recognize that, with all that we’ve done, we’ve done nothing,
Mentally shacked, going nowhere but running,
Cause “ghetto fabulous” is mainstream mediocre,
And until we stop using it, we’re never gonna get over,
And that’s “keeping it real”, by definition in fact,
If you want to get off something, then “nigga”, get off that…
