Je score:
Now I shall tell a story that's filled with words that start with the letter N (DJ Pam cuts up "Fly lyrics from the bank of reality" --> Flavor Flav) [Boots] Step into the world of a nigger, figure to stay a little while so pack your bag up bigger First of all just let me introduce you seduce you into a frame of mind that's easy to get used to Nigger hasn't always meant a man with melanin It used to be a piece of wood that sat on the cotton gin Masta put it there and it wouldn't move, smooth So what does it mean, to be a Nigger With an Attitude? You tell me that a nigger's crazy or lazy Not about the skin so, don't let it faze me Well you amaze me, with that ignorant bizull-shizzit Get a grip on the new fit Cause that's a lame frame of brain for the nineties I know the game so it don't sting, my mind sees So what the fuck you wanna race for the trigger I ain't the one, I ain't the nigga "If I'm a slave, I'm a slave to the rhythm" --> Big Daddy Kane "You know that I ain't the nigga" --> Ice Cube (repeat 4X) (DJ Pam cuts up "Niggers, love everything but themselves" --> Last Poets) [E-Roc] Nigger is a word we use today, you say It don't mean the same if you spell it with an A But that's an argument that makes me itch, I twitch If I took the T out will I still mean bitch? My name is E-Roc, and I ain't the nigger main Save your sellout strut shit for Soul Train Cause I've been known, to knock a motherfucker out Without a doubt, The Coup gives me much clout But there's a factor when I know that my skin is brown And never ever will I put another brother down (gawwwd damn) So I make the mental rule to massacre the word Cause when I hear it, it gets, me straight stirred It's mental trash so I'm pickin up the litter I ain't the one and I ain't, the nigger My people use this word each and every day You see a nigger, slap a nigger, that's what I say "If I'm a slave, I'm a slave to the rhythm" --> Big Daddy Kane "You know that I ain't the nigga" --> Ice Cube (repeat 4X) (DJ Pam cuts up "Niggers, love everything but themselves" --> Last Poets) "Boy I love playing the drums, I can do the grooviest rhythms I can do rhythms like.." [Boots] My attitude is this (what?) don't call yourself a niggerole (why?) Unless you're just an oakie-doke it'll make you sicker though Cause it's all about a mind-time mind-frame The system is a chess game with, pawns all the same (haa haa) Until we change our mind to ? Identify yourself, it's a part of being concious (yeah) If I call myself a gangster then I'll rob you with a gat (yeah) If I call myself a brother then you know I got your back (yeah) If I call myself oppressed then I'm clear on where I'm at But if I call myself a nigger what the fuck is that? (yeah, you know) Don't be the coolie or the moolie or a boob with the jigger Don't be the one... don't be the nigga "If I'm a slave, I'm a slave to the rhythm" --> Big Daddy Kane "You know that I ain't the nigga" --> Ice Cube (repeat 4X
