[Instrumental]

[verse 1]

N-E-G-U-S

Negus, can I talk to you

About the royalty in your blood

That you never knew

Your Black history was destroyed

And hidden from you

So that you could strive to be nothing more

Than a second-class jigaboo.

[verse 2]

Negus, can I talk to you

It’s hard to believe what I read

But I wouldn’t lie to you

It’s all written and exposed

At your disposal, too

[Chorus]

N-e-g-u-s

is the real name

Not the derogatory and mispronounced slang

Negus is the king of kings

The rulers.

Let me tell you

a man without knowledge is a ship

Without a sail

Get to know your true selves.

An eye for a third eye

But here’s a tooth for the truth.

Negus!

[solo]

[Verse 3]

Negus, you were taught self-hate

But to admire everything that didn’t

Resemble you.

Open your eyes 

To the blatant lies

And lead the way back to yesterday

When you were kings and

The kingdom gathered to pray

[Pre-Chorus]

Negus

Tell your ego 

It’s out of line

Sentenced to crimes

By a systemic system

Designed to kill and enslave you.

Never forget George Stinney.

Stop acting tough

And listen up

[Chorus]

N-e-g-u-s

is the real name

Not the derogatory and mispronounced slang

Negus is the king of kings

The rulers.

Let me tell you

a man without knowledge is a ship

Without a sail

Get to know your true selves.

An eye for a third eye

But here’s a tooth for the truth.

Negus!

[Outro]

I beg of you

To go back and trace your roots

To discover you.

An eye for a third eye

But here’s a tooth for the truth.

Negus!

N-e-g-u-s
