I feel I’m trapped in a crazy place
Asking the Lord for amazing grace
I see the masses wanna change me
I’m waiting for someone to save me until then until then
I guess I’m stuck here on nigga island
Yeah, Where niggas be wylin
Yeah, And color is violence
Yeah, Moment of silence (hello)
I guess I’m stuck here on nigga island
Yeah, Where niggas be wylin

Yeah, I am the invisible man though I have a soul I am from an invisible land/
They gave me a slave pen for my freedom of speech/
Yeah I’m tryin to leave the island but swimming through bleach/
Come on son why you always ruin the mood/
Race talks happen every time you enter the room/
Cuz there’s ignorance in the masses too many people think racism is past tense/
We fight for blackness but we don’t know what black is/
I know it ain’t the zero sum of white man/
They wanna know how to reach the hood like there’s magic/
Like we’re all the same, huh like we’re not dynamic/
Hollywood wants to pimp us to get dough/
Exploit us but get money somebody say ho/
Yeah lets thank those movies and them tv shows/
Be a token or a player Uncle Tom row/
Or be a magic negro until the day I’m gone/
Hope the white man reach his goal but never reach my own/
Or an oversexed male even a coon/
A young man who loves ignorance praisin’ his doom, until then
I feel I’m trapped in a crazy place
Asking the Lord for amazing grace
I see the masses wanna change me
I’m waiting for someone to save me until then until then
I guess I’m stuck here on nigga island
Yeah, Where niggas be wylin

Say hello to the great cultural brain wash/
Washin my brain from some of the things that race taught/
Miseducate, colonize, divide/
Teach beauty is straight hair and the bluest of eyes/
And because of lies I’m debating five percenters/
How the mid-east movement gone be a white man’s religion/
How the privileged man say it’s time to move forward/
And say the game’s fair when he monopolize the board/
And corporate greed just manipulates the poor/
Outside the hood I don’t see liquor stores/
I know God is sovereign and I should pray about it/
But a man won’t stop it if it increases his profits/
And most ain’t realistic with the flow/
They make music for the streets but I don’t see em at the show/
So instead of truth they’d rather be duped/
I guess they want me to make more songs for youth groups until then.../
I feel I’m trapped in a crazy place
Asking the Lord for amazing grace
I see the masses wanna change me
I’m waiting for someone to save me until then until then
I guess I’m stuck here on nigga island
Yeah, Where niggas be wylin
Yeah, And color is violence
Yeah, Moment of silence (hello)

Yeah I got a double consciousness but I’m still in touch/
Cops got my hands in the air so I ain’t feelin’ much/
Lookin for protection all I can see is tyrants/
I’m fightin’ them coons and thugs racists and dyin honors/
That lady you call ho that’s my lover/
That woman you call bitch that’s my mother/
Them boys that you killed them my brothers/
Send the ship to the island we can rescue some others/
Did they fight for civil rights so we could sit on gold/
I can’t walk in your shoes you keep sellin’ your soul/
No, ain’t much Booker T when you look at me/
But a whole lot of the boys makin’ noise until then/
I feel entrapped in a crazy place
Asking the Lord for amazing grace
I see the masses wanna change me
I’m waiting for someone to save me until then until then
I guess I’m stuck here on nigga island
Yeah, Where niggas be wylin
Yeah, And color is violence
