mahogany public - what's in a word lyrics

[dirt gritie]
what’s in a word why whites wouldn’t let n-ggas read?
and yet we use the word n-gga so care free
we ain’t never been a part of the fraternity
of blacks who got whipped, lynched, raped or beat
we ain’t never held picket signs out in the street
for our kids to have freedom of speech
frankly it’s disgusting in a discussion
labelled african you kiss your t–th and start cussing
so you don’t par with africans cause that ain’t balling
bet them slave ships could fit us all in
we could use more words to bring us together
cause black is beautiful every child and mother
a black community is more then houses together
let’s create services to aid each other
she ain’t a b-tch she’s my lover
so i’m a use better words when speaking of her

[oozeela – chorus – 1x]
in the beginning there was darkness but now there’s light
words give sight to the blind but
what’s in a word?
they say the tongue is the gateway for human life
but it can take it away
what’s in a word?
hate, love, family, enemy, undercover, life
the design of the mind is
what’s in a word?
they say the tongue is the gateway for human life
but it can take it away

[proveli paragon]
do you concur the difference?
between women and a pack off b-tches?
confused cause they blur the difference
p-ssed cause you called her a b-tch
then called back sayin’ she’ll be chillin with her b-tches
difference is intentions laced with the words you spit
anything with letters can mean disrespect
i could start world war 4 tomorrow
just by saying the word “h-llo”
hate’s got nothing to do with the alphabet
don’t forget how smart we are
it’d be stupid to be thinking we can stop the illing and k!lling
by getting rid of the letters w-a-r
i’m a shine even if you don’t label me a star
the track is alive you can feel it when i k!ll it
i don’t care what you heard
ain’t nothing in a word
but how i make you feel when i spill it

[oozeela – bridge – 1x]
when me step in a the spot them start fi call me chocolate
me step in a di office now them call me boss
who would have thought a rasta man would reach a corporate office
my dominican people would have called me smart
even though i show the light inside of me
some might say that they a call me dark
oozeela call them something back, to let them know that me laugh
cause me nah worry ’bout that…

[emcee e]
n-i-g-g-e-r
is that who we were or is that who we are
with the brothers for a fixing for phat booty calls
sisters with affliction for black movie stars
n-i-g-g-a
teacher spells it that way so he thinks it’s ok
call a student a n-gga everything is all good
call a teacher a cracker get kicked out of school
white kids say it cause the black kids say it
and the black kids say it cause the rappers reclaimed it
2pac said its never ignorant getting goals accomplished
jim brown saying its mob lynch
its nonsense
just to be frank and honest
we’ve lost it switch up the lyrical content
go figure
saying it doesn’t make you bigger
would you call a mother or father figure another n-gga – no
