John River Confessions Of A Broke Nigga

John River is direct and brutally honest in his latest single “Confessions of a Broke N***a.”

The Toronto rapper and activist, who has long been battling illness, is adept at storytelling through his lyrics, with many socially conscious songs backed by a catchy tune and addictive beat. This is no exception.

In the track, River mentions that he’s been stressed, working on a new project for four months, and delves into some of his reflections from the past year.

River is known for his activism, particularly his history of elevating the Black Lives Matter movement, where he wore a shirt with the BLM logo to the 2015 Much Music Music Awards, a bold statement at the time. A year later, the rapper attracted attention yet again when he wore a shirt that said “Stop Blaming Muslims” to the 2016 ceremony.

In “Confessions of a Broke N*gga,” River continues his advocacy, speaking out on his opinion that white people should not say the N word. He breaks the reasoning down into vivid, and frankly, hilarious, metaphors. It’s really “not that complicated,” River says.

Lyrics

[Intro]
(Yeah)
Are you stressin? Do you have bills?
Call 1-800- Broke Nigga.com
(Ring ring ring ring)
Where we can supply you with absolutely nothing

[Verse 1]
I don’t believe in God, I guess you’re wrong there
I’m trying to get some pussy I just said a long prayer
Met a white girl, said we could be a strong pair
Kim’s got black ass, Ye’s got blonde hair
Have mixed kids, sit on lawn chairs
Name them both Steph Curry she just gave a long stare
Then she laughed, I knew that I would smash
I know you probably thinking if I hit it will I dash
Well you were right I hit then I cut
But what did you expеct bitch I met you on a bus
See my car broke down, needs a new clutch
No crеdit on my debit and Uber’s too much
And I just got paid how my money get subtracted?
Credit card debt holding everybody captive
Who needs a girlfriend the bank thinks that I’m attractive
They call me every week, just to press about my taxes
Man this shit is getting deep
They probably calling niggas as we speak
Fuck suicide nigga If I tried to take the leap
Chase bank would be screaming not before the fifteenth!
(Don’t Do It John) It’s in your best interest, (It is!)
You owe a lot of money plus interest (You do!)
We love you! If you take a step down
We could talk about your options we could even help you invest
(Fuck you) yeah yeah, man I know about your rates
I have to pay you back when there’s more up on the plate
For the last 4 months, I’ve been working on this tape
Let’s just hope that it blows up for both of our sakes
So I’m sorry that I ghosted man
I’ll’ text you when it drops you should post it man
If you want your money back you should your mans
Then I’ll be debt free and I’ll know your fans
(You just gotta post the link my nigga just post the link)

[Chorus]
You know that I been stressing
But thankful for my blessings
Hey these are the confessions of a broke nigga
You know that I’ve been stressing
But thankful for my blessings
Hey these are the..

[Verse 2]
In 2021 race relations heightened
Cause old white people want immigration tightened
Might be racism but I think they just frightened
But since we’re all here I’ll take a second to enlighten
Black people say nigga, we feel like it’s be lightened
That’s why you hear it in the music we’re reciting
Here’s where I’m going to need your light bulb to brighten
If your best friend is white and he says it? I’mma fight him
I know that sounds a little complex
You don’t get the concept it’s all about the context
If you kiss your girl on the lips then you love her
If your homie kiss your girl on the lips he’s trying to fuck her
Your mom beats your ass if you stealing from the vault
If your teacher beats your ass they’ll charge him with assault
Girls say I love you bitch, you can’t call girl a bitch though
It’s not that complicated, see, it’s really that simple!
Jesus was a white man, Even Kris Kringle?
In all white world saying niggas just the wrinkle
Why am I allowed and you not?
You wanna say it so bad we’ll take the shit that you got
Like colleges, scholarships, nepotism, politics
Don’t forget our houses aren’t bigger than your cottages
Your best friends black? That makes you an apologist
Cause staring at the stars doesn’t make you an astrologist nigga
(Real shit real shit)
(Yeah)

[Chorus]
You know that I been stressing
But thankful for my blessings
Hey these are the confessions of a broke nigga

You know that I’ve been
You know that I’ve been
