I've been dealing with depression ever since an adolescent

I could never take the lead,
I could never bob and weave

From a negative and letting them annihilate me

We gon' do some acapella shit before we get back to..
.
All my niggas listen, listen to this:

[Acapella]
I promised Dave I'd never use the phrase "fuck nigga"
He said,
"Think about what you saying: "Fuck niggas"
No better than Samuel on the Django
No better than a white man with slave boats"
Sound like I needed some soul searching
My Pops gave me some game in real person
Retraced my steps on what they never taught me
Did my homework fast before government caught me
So I'ma dedicate this one verse to Oprah
On how the infamous,
sensitive N word control us
So many artists gave her an explanation to hold us
Well,
this is my explanation straight from Ethiopia
N E G U S definition: royalty,
king royalty
Wait listen
N E G U S description: black emperor, king, ruler,
now let me finish
The history books overlook the word and hide it
America tried to make it to a house divided
The homies don't recognize we been using it wrong
So I'ma break it down and put my game in a song
N E G U S, say it with me,
or say it no more
Black stars can come and get me
Take it from Oprah Winfrey,
tell her she right on time
Kendrick Lamar, by far,
realest Negus alive
