Nigga Nature
Written By: D. Collins 3/15/25
A Nigga Nature is something you’re not accustomed to.
In that you have the privilege of color afforded to you.
Ten times have passed since the beginning of time.
That people of color are known as the bottom line.
Our history is being dropped from books in school.
But it’s in our Nature to progress using all the tools.
If the doors are shut as they’ve always been.
We figure out a way to let ourselves in.
Restarting “segregated facilities” on federal contracts.
Is still not enough, 'cause we’ve been there, and done that.
We just strap up our boots, waiting for the battle to begin.
Realizing the that each and every day, we are Hustlin’.
Removing the history of Medgar Evers and Tuskegee Airmen.
Won’t deter those who lived through it and know what happened.
Our history will be history whether in, or out of print.
We’re the offspring of what are known as “Real Men”.
