Lucas, Joyner - Half Nigger Lyrics






Know what it's like to be half nigga
To be half nigga, to be half nigga
Yeah
Joyner
Joyner

Know what it's like to be half nigga, just a half nigga (yeah)
My white Mom fell in love with a black nigga (damn)
Just a black nigga
A white lady with a colored kid
I don't even understand what my color is
What my color is (what my color is)
Black, White, Brown, and some other shit
Homie say you ain't allowed with us
I don't even want you hanging out with us (nah)
And quit trying to act like you proud of us
If we were slaves back then, you'd be a house nigga
A house nigga (a house nigga)
Wow nigga, know what I hate the most
A bunch of cartoons with some racist quotes
And subliminal messages and racist jokes
Kinda funny how the money not ours (money not ours)
Yeah the money not ours
All the white motherfuckers got power (damn)
While the black motherfuckers got talent
Trying to get respect that'll never be valid (never be valid)
Never be valid
Even if you had level 3 clearance (yeah)
Even if you had Hillary's parents (yeah)
Even if you were a rap star (rap star)
Even if you had 10 cars and
Even if you had a Red Porsche and a 747 with 10 floors and the best whores
Even if you were a ball player, playing for the Clippers
Just imagine how you would feel if you were Doc Rivers
With a boss like the racist motherfucker Donald Sterling
I've been in and out of feelings, how sad is it (how sad is it shit)
Yeah how bad is it, when your boss got billions of cash and shit
And you stuck at the bottom you ain't half as rich
Fighting to be equal in the battle with
Another race in this land full of happiness
Another day trying to race to establish this
Another way, gotta wait for an activist to come say how we feel
Ain't that some shh.. (ain't that some shit) ain't that some shit
But meanwhile I got morals to stand up for
Can't cause I got a daughter to man up for
Gotta bite my tongue (gotta bite my tongue)
While the life is young if you a black entertainer it'd be nice
To run this shit, but you not shit till the fight is done
And that's just with the icing on the cake
If we didn't break, we'd be twice as strong (twice as strong)
But now it's twice as hard
To be a half nigga living in this life of darkness
All the black kids looking at me like I'm awkward
Cause I'm too light to be on one side of the streets
Now I play both parts, like hide and go seek
Malcolm X gave hope of getting out of the streets
And Rosa Parks was never getting out of her seat
I guess we here for life (here for life)
And I heard Mr. Sterling got banned for life, from the NBA
And He can sell the team
If that don't take away the heat from his self esteem
We in a helpless scene and a helpless time
With no help, trying to help decide, if we in hell or a jail
Can't yell or cry, can't scream or tell
But they can tell us lies nigga

Know what it's like to be half nigga (a half nigga)
Just a half nigga
My white Mom fell in love with a black nigga(just a black nigga)
Just a black nigga
A white lady with a colored kid
I don't even understand what my color is
What my color is (what my color is)
Black, White, Brown, and some other shit
It's kinda funny how the money not ours (money not ours)
Yeah the money not ours
All the white motherfuckers got power (got power)
While the black motherfuckers got talent (got talent)
Trying to get respect that'll never be valid (never be valid)
Never be valid, just a half nigga(a half nigga)
Just a half nigga
(a half nigga)
(a half nigga)
(a half nigga)
(a half nigga)
(a half nigga)
(a half nigga)

  1. M.... I....

  2. Y.... G....

    My boyfriend mixed and Idk but I think he struggles because he thinks he has to choose a side.

  3. J.... R....

    I'm not half nigga

  4. h.... r....

    This song was made for me 😱😱😱 lol

  5. O.... ....

    Im half nigga mixed gang bois

    O.... ....

    We lightskin not mixed

  6. S.... G....

    Shit still good

  7. s.... ....

    I'm a half Nigga

  8. L.... H....

    Bro this needs to blow up like nowwwwwwwwwwww

  9. M.... D....

    I’m Mexican but I don’t look the part

  10. K.... D....

    Came here from hiphopmadness

  11. B.... S....

    My dad is black and my momma white but I never got to meet him bc he left before I was born bc ig he had better things to do than help take care of me

    B.... S....

    Ironic, Black Dad an White Mum; father raised me as a single parent (thank god).

  12. T.... ....

    violin at the end gives me chills

  13. B.... B....

    Who came from genius?

  14. D.... 7....

    I'm mixed with black(black white and asian)but feel like I can't say that I'm mixed because I'm somewhere around a quarter black(mom is half black) and I don't really look black, but some of the lyrics particularly in this song hit pretty hard, I can relate.

    D.... 7....

    You are the definition of mixed🤣

  15. P.... S....

    I’m the only black person (white/black) in my family. I grew up in a small country town with 0 black people in sight. Long story short now that I’m 14 and out of that town I’m remembering all the fucked up things said to me. Understanding them.

  16. F.... S....

    All the Jew mofuckas got power. Forcing white people to accept none whites is not being accepted thats just being the Jews pet. Why can't their be a black self determination back to Africa movement instead of gibs me dat black movements?

  17. b.... ....

    I knew this guy had to be half white! Something just seems corny and inauthentic about him. He seems like a suburban dude trying hard to be down or something. It’s weird because J Cole is mixed and I don’t get that same c0onish vibe from him. 🤨

    b.... ....

    Inauthentic?? Not in any joyner lucas record has he tried to be tough or down. He's just a lyricist

    b.... ....

    He tries too hard to be black or something....I can't explain. It just seems forced and awkward to me.

  18. T.... M....

    its ok to LOVE who you are but the mixing of the bloodlines or races is not a good thing

    T.... M....

    Why do you say that lol?

    T.... M....

  23. V.... B....

    I wanna make a track with you joyner

  24. C.... A....

  54. R.... S....

    Why does this genuis shit matter?

  55. B.... J....

    Where that beat from this sing come from

  56. S.... Y....

    Black people hate on me just because im white too, and i love all people regardless of color any of that shit, im just trying to be a man in this world. People need to let go of these old ideas and direct their angst towards people with power to change things rather than us brothers and sisters in the same struggle. I may not be black, but i DO know what its like to have eviction notices on my door every other month. Me and my lone mother used to live in her dads (whos wife hated us) basement for years and it was a struggle to get by. Long story short we all face adversity, but instead of fighting eachother over petty and honestly irrelevent things like race, we should band together and fight for the 99% of us who are struggling cuz its real regardless of the color of your skin

  57. S.... Y....

    Im white and im broke as hell too :( race IS NOT the bottom line of things its wealth

    S.... Y....

    Spoken by someone who doesn't understand racism... By your logic you are implying that because some black people get rich they no longer face racism in day to day life??? It's ignorance like this why there is still racism today in America because most of you white folks really don't understand, don't want to understand, or are actively trying NOT to understand..

    S.... Y....

    You don’t really understand racism. People don’t say that the only reason to be broke is because of race, but racism is one of the things that can really bring someone down. There are a lot of people who don’t understand racism, and that’s a part of the problem. If people don’t know about a problem, it can’t be solved.

  58. G.... B....

    My mom is black and my dad is white and I was with my mom at Walmart and a woman straight up asked me “where is your mom little girl” because my mom is black and not white like “supposed” regular mixed kids... I don’t understand why my mom got to be white and my dad black to be a normal mixed child

    G.... B....

    Gucci Bags I got the same thing with my white mom...

    G.... B....

    I got a black dad and white mum

    I came here STRAIGHT from ("GENIUS")💯 . . . . Anyone else did the same ?

  79. Y.... B....

    I want to hear a song with Kendrick Lamar

  80. u.... m....

    Came from Genuis and love this.

  81. f.... ....

    This made me shed a tear fr fr. He's a fuckin genius yo. I got people who are half and when i listened to this song, i just layed back with my eyes closed thinking of them. It's a shame how this world is turning out but praying for change.

    f.... ....

    Change from what? Are mixed raced kids somewhat segregated from society? Isn't someone being born mixed race a sign of racial harmony in itself. Two parents of opposite race in love.

    f.... ....

    You say "I got people who are half" like it's an epidemic.

  82. y.... m....

    Daamnnnn, never liked the word but damn... I'm a half nigga 😭

  83. S.... ....

    My black mom fell in love with a white man

    S.... ....

    good for u

    S.... ....

    Your mom is a bedwench. No offense.

    S.... ....

    @busymike while you put "no offense" and shit its still wrong to call someone something because of their romantic preference 🤷‍♂️

    S.... ....

    Oh, well "yes offense" then. She's still a bedwench.

    S.... ....

    busymike what is wrong with you? You're listening to a song like this yet you're hating on people in the comments because of their parents preference in a significant other? You can't help who you fall in love with, nobody's assigned to loving a certain race, just assumed to. When someone sees something out of the norm in society their first instinct is to judge.

  84. l.... ....

    it's ight

  85. K.... ....

    Any Blasian

    K.... ....

    I am blasian but probably not the way you think... My chinese Grandfather Immigrated to to Jamaica in the 1920's. My dad is a A mixed Black and Chinese Jamaican, And my mom is a black Jamaican. (Jamaicans of chinese Descent are actually very common)

  86. m.... ....

    Who else is mixed with Haitian? Im Haitian and Puerto Rican

    m.... ....

    I’m mixed ( black , white) and when I was younger I remember going out in public with my mom and people would say “she’s pretty, where did you get her from??”

    T.... F....

    That’s so wrong and my mom was mixed and looked white and my grandma had the same experience people are so mean

    T.... F....

    I remembered my best friend who was mixed ( mom was black dad was white ) I remember her feeling she didn't feel like she belonged anywhere. She said she either wanted to be lighter or darker.

    T.... F....
