I ain't the nigga


(big bird)
Now I shall tell a story thats filled with words
That start with the letter n

(dj pam cuts up fly 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 thats easy to get used to
Nigger hasnt 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 wouldnt move, smooth
So what does it mean, to be a nigger with an attitude?
You tell me that a niggers crazy or lazy
Not about the skin so, dont let it faze me
Well you amaze me, with that ignorant bizull-shizzit
Get a grip on the new fit
Cause thats a lame frame of brain for the nineties
I know the game so it dont sting, my mind sees
So what the fuck you wanna race for the trigger
I aint the one, I aint the nigga

If Im a slave, Im a slave to the rhythm --> big daddy kane
You know that I aint 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 dont mean the same if you spell it with an a
But thats 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 aint the nigger main
Save your sellout strut shit for soul train
Cause Ive been known, to knock a motherfucker out
Without a doubt, the coup gives me much clout
But theres 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
Its mental trash so Im pickin up the litter
I aint the one and I aint, the nigger
My people use this word each and every day
You see a nigger, slap a nigger, thats what I say

If Im a slave, Im a slave to the rhythm --> big daddy kane
You know that I aint 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? ) dont call yourself a niggerole (why? )
Unless youre just an oakie-doke itll make you sicker though
Cause its 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, its a part of being concious (yeah)
If I call myself a gangster then Ill 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 Im clear on where Im at
But if I call myself a nigger what the fuck is that? (yeah, you know)
Dont be the coolie or the moolie or a boob with the jigger
Dont be the one... dont be the nigga

If Im a slave, Im a slave to the rhythm --> big daddy kane
You know that I aint the nigga --> ice cube
(repeat 4x)

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
