Now I shall tell a story that's filled with words
|
that start with the letter N

|
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

|
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

|
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
