Nigger or Moon Cricket...which do you perfer
I was reminded the other day that most people are what they eat
So it shouldn't surprise me when they write, text or speak
In particular; of things they know nothing about
Hence the term moon cricket being thrown about
I'm too tried to sit at lunch counters and/or turn the other cheek
Me doing something grimy to you comes as easy as say... sleep
So instead I'll try to enlighten... that's the least I can do
I'd like you to walk in my footsteps...try on a pair of my shoes
I'm not nor should I be called points six of a man, burnt match or cocolo
Not naga, antique farm equipment or Ni-Ni
Not yard ape, snigger or butter
Not jungle bunny, silver back or BUN
Not kala, mayate or boffer
Brillo Pad, Boot lip or Jr. mint don't define me or my features
My name isn't J.J, Cornelius, Carlton, Buckwheat, chief or captain
Treat me with the same respect that I show you
That's all I ask...is that too hard to do?
