It was me with serpentine hair and a timeless stare
That with immortal glare turned mortal fear into stone time capsules
They still exist as the walking dead, as I do
The original sufferhead, symbol of life and matriarchy
Severed head Medusa, I am
I am that nigga
I am that nigga!
I am that nigga!!
I am a negro! Yes negro, negro from _necro_ meaning death
I overcame it so they named me after it
And I be spitting at death from behind
And putting "Kick Me" signs on it's back
Because I am not the son of Sha-Clack-Clack
I am before that, I am before
I am before before
Before death is eternity, after death is eternity
“Sha-Clack-Clack” refers to the sound a whip makes, as referenced later on in the poem. African Americans were often whipped as punishment while facing enslavement in the 18th and 19th century. 
 While he may be an African American, he is not a slave, nor is he willing to be treated as one.
