2.
Oh yeah, hmmm I... I hope allyuh listening 'cause I 'bout to talk for real Huh, like wow Niggers Are we or are we not Why do we exhaust ourselves It's 'cause we lost ourselves It's a misfortune to tell and of course we don't know it but We assisted, not just slavery, we weren't always forced to help We've heard that conversation before I'm so tired not woke anymore Well lemme talk to niggers 'Cause I find y'all so bitter is mental slavery a result or a cause Think about it They say, the masters use that name to oppress us Now we less educated than them and it's pressure They use us to get rich, we does just get crumbs So we find different ways to live 'cause we doh get love So we doh give to anyone Doh like the mirror nor we brothers and sisters No respect for anyone no regrets 'cause of where we from Then fishing switching up for digits We'll do anything, shoot any gun buy anything, sell any drug For the state to legally put us back in bondage or just kill Then kids go through the cycle again we ain't grow up well Another single mom, same neighborhood but we just chill Grow up with a mental hold unsure why we upset still But then there's the black man who work very hard Made sure nigger wasn't on his ID card Like them niggers in the hood, I living very large I have a wife, three kids and a hairy dog" and we watch him like This scary fraud, giving them tax money for them to come and bury ours Can't be serious But you doh understand, you doh understand Them fellas grown nigger you just feel you man Light switch turn on a while ago for them, you just feel you hard You lil niggers cyah handle Sallie Mae or Uncle Sam Maybe they won't treat us like niggers if we go to school Imagine what would take place if we obey the rules Just break the cycle and do right bro Live yuh life like as though because of history, we have things to prove Just 'cause I black doh mean I nigger We may all look the same but we all have a lane and situations differ But if we come together for more than saying F the police Or RIP things can really change in a instant But we not alike my brother If I step down for y'all it might affect my come up I'll be looked upon as a nigger like there's another But I might do it for PR and increase in numbers As long as the niggers prosper Wakanda forever It's better when you have nigger supporters. Like wow That's facts though Vibranium bands yuh dig Yeah First of all I'm Nigerian For the sake of the song 'Niggerian', I doh know what niggers be on There's a fella in the bible called Simeon He was called N-I-G-E-R 'cause his skin was very dark period I understand the inherited PTSD and mental tumor But nigger doesn't have to do with being less than human Nigger comes from a Latin word that means black Google Do research for once G and you'll find it useful Like Christian, it was used to make fun of us But we trying to be like Christ and da'is where they coming from Now everyone call us Christian and even with the stereotypes We proud of how we identified So yes, they called us nigger during slavery nigger But languages of those people were offspring from Latin Think about Nigeria and Niger nigger If they cyah call us nigger why should they call us black then 'Cause when they say yuh African, it's nigger they mean It's up to us niggers to determine how we are perceived They didn't make fun by saying niggers, niggers were made fun of Our identity is wrapped up in what God spoke on us and He loves us Do the research stop the assumptions Put in the work and kill presumptions The church doh identify with yuh thoughts and yuh numbers Come down from there you doh even know where yuh come from huh Yeah, nigger
3.
Yeah, like wow Why do I have to be Yeah, why do I have to be Mmm, fed up, just fed up Oh wow, yeah Have to be, have to be Why do I have to be Looking at mothers and sisters and brothers in agony Why do I have to be Afraid of your color, ashamed of my color?

Oh God I need strategy Things not getting worse they getting exposed 'Cause Apple adding extra i's to your phone Conspiracy theories no longer seem hoax Oh gosh, I can't breathe, I need faith, I need hope And they say easy access one click away from your goals But I'm still oppressed and somehow I'm still broke And with all that knowledge technology People still look in between their legs and then they question anatomy Why Why do we have to be It ain't making no sense This is a tragedy Why do I have to be Like why, We need some strategy What's the reason, you know Why do we have to be Why do we have to be, have to be Why do we have to see A lack of peace? The system separating the families Why do we have to be Rejecting health? 'Cause the good food, well it not attracting we Pandemic give nature a chance to breathe Social distancing magnify anxiety But the racism trash is a pile, a heap And we ain't take it out yet so we burn it down drastically Freedom of worship is at risk They think they want cheese so they don't trust none of the Pastors They don't trust he skin But when they wear these chains I never see the black one Jesus what happen? Repeated patterns Identity crisis have us in shackles and naturally We do wrong when we know that it bad for we Why do we have to be It's like you know something wrong What really happen G It don't make sense This is a travesty Like why are we going through all of this I don't even think I have the patience for all of this Why do we have to be, have to be Why do we have to be So obsessed with single moms that we forget the good fathers G Why do we have to Get sick by medicine and regular things that we hadda eat Is Disney, Google, FB the illuminati? Hold on What if Siri and Alexa was lesbian, are they together What plans you thinking they have set for us In life have so many distractions Unborn human rights well it been none Time going just like your data TikTok everyone wanna be dancers Short-term pleasure just for greed we malicious we Tip we souls off for service expeditiously Not hard to see, the savagery Of this world just breeding more apathy Just to relate on a level you know, like You look around and you... just wonder what it is going on And, it's just a reminder, like The testing of your faith Worketh Patience

5.
Yeah Aye Like wow I want to be very candid on this 'cause this is an idea people does play with You understand Aye, let we rap Death Either show you life's meaning or makes you question it Or makes you doubt everything, hoping life never meant a thing Marvelous creature, the expected unexpected thing A friend told me she don't even want to be loved So that when it's she time no one go be hurting so much I pointed her to God with truthful encouraging thoughts She thanked me for giving the talk but the thought stuck with me while moving on If I go tomorrow it may not matter That's a lie and I know better that makes it sadder Plus I'm a nice person that likes to chit and chatter Don't want to be cool no more, might just whip a snapper So they don't deem me a social person I'll switch it up Those that close to me already know that this image flunk Seasons change but it's been dark literally many months Don't want to go through this no more, just let me out I'm stuck I know I'm wrong sometimes but I indulge in these morbid thoughts Mmmm, yeah I know much better, it takes It takes much effort, so much huh I feel alone sometimes when it's cold and I call out to God God, yeah I know much better but please Hold me together. Oh jeez, I could never None of we have the answers But all you have to do is read what exposed in the chapters Was watching a funeral, very saddened Especially with the way people does approach what happening after RIP to the brother though, gone too soon A while back he sent me a sermon, cool But I never revisited that conversation, I wanted to state that The clip that he sent me wasn't speaking the truth Whoops, let me help your mind They're not looking down if they're there with Christ They're not even there yet, 'cause in the end we rise And you may not see everyone you love when come that time You could coase that's fine Heave great can't wait for the new Earth with the rest of the tribe We need to stop pondering spiritual things with carnal minds Hmmm, like wow let me done the rhyme
6.
Yeah Like wow I not sure if all you will feel me on this one, but we'll see Yeah Yow let me use myself as an example have ample reason to do so Committed treason, oh shoot, no If I'm no sheep then I'm who's goat I'm fallen, I won't stoop low I ducking to let the goose go I fronting like pastor steal-toe It's nothing I think my heel swollen The fit bad and my walk trash, can't even chip na The process not like slim fast. How I compute it? Sin bad, it not funny And I not lucky it gave but it took a lot from me Like grace and blessing did run from me now I on a chase I relapse sometimes and then fall on my face Don't remember the last time I call out on the name Had to take into account a loss is not a gain I recognize the cost of living the more that I fail It's all good just life it's more of the same Kill that talk good vibes no need to explain Don't judge my isle and stay in your lane I'm only human, right? So gimme a break Well Why it bothering you so much then I know some of all you could relate to that But if you're only human, that means it shouldn't be a problem But why it bothering people Why it bothering others, why it bothering you Because it's inhumane? What's the point of that word Anyways leggo Turn up Money, cars, hoes, bars, drugs, shows, streams, charts I'm a beast, every beat decease from every speech Special, not into tweets. This level of eloquence you could never reach And a keeping the peace, real man take care of the fam That's a double enten I sense envy and fear in your heart And I weird with the bars, I'm like Shemus to rap 'Cause all I see is red here it's unfair when I start Treasure beating in my heart (Or chest) my black owned business is good And I feeding the hood, I know I new to this but I want to build a kingdom or castle with me, myself and I Aka the king and the rook I'm the toughest cat Bad dog, unicorn, goat, you know The toughest to rap, but, hold on How come my greatness named after things I have dominion over Oh shocks So dumb That's... that's kind of off right Yow That's... that's not quite human so what are you It... it have to be a better way right Alright, well we ain't done yet I know all you used to two verses But this one requires a third Let we wrap it up Human, you're made in his image right Is that how you're living life I would say not quite Stuck in your ignorance and your sinful vices While thinking life is a privilege sigh You forgiven, niceness now tell me why It's 'cause of what Christ did Your righteousness is lifeless nothing to pride in like filthy rags Now I staying free 'cause He rip the tag, but listen na This is a hundred percent God but don't get it twisted this is a man He was 'bout the father business understanding the kingdom is at hand He the truth, God in the flesh, endured the human experience too God know the best. Only human is no excuse He did what human 'posed to do. Made in His image, cool Now you have one to live up to Whoo Yessir, you dig Jesus Christ One hundred percent man, one hundred percent God The only perfect human being The only human being that fulfilled the mandate of humanity The rest of us, not quite right He did it, now we know what humanity supposed to look like

about

The eye is the most sensitive part of the body, so be careful what and/or how you see. My name is AKachi and I consider myself as an artist, but I was created first. Everything I conceptualize or experience that inspires my art has to be filtered through the perspective, intention and character of my Creator. These 7 tracks, each have a distinct sound but are thematically linked in retrospect. Expect story telling, social commentary and theology accompanied with varying tones and styles of expression. There isn’t enough concept albums out today, this is just an EP but hopefully it does its part to fill the gap.
