| He’s got the green timbs with the fat laces, hahaha

| Yo, yeah, uh huh
|
| Checking in, nigga
|
| You say why I call you nigga, think about it
|
| You went from what…
|
| From an African, straight to a nigga, you know what I’m saying
|
| We traveling over to what, to what
|
| Negro, and then we went to what
|
| Then we went to black
|
| Then it was on some Afro-American stuff
|
| Afro-Canadian what have you, but guess what

|
| A yo
|
| Walkin through the uptown a black man (nigga)
|
| Walkin down Yonge St. a black man (nigga)
|
| Walkin through Flatbush a black man (nigga)
|
| When the revolution comes I got a finger on the trigga
|
| I was born a regular man of the Earth
|
| With a curse to walk like a soldier since birth
|
| My exterior is shaded in by my melanin
|
| Stereotype of my type is a felon
|
| My people cause static cause automatically now a days we fire automatics
|
| Grammatically adequate my people come equipped
|
| With enough lyrics to move battleships
|
| Blood brother ever since the slave ships
|
| It doesn’t matter who I am when I walk by
|
| They still see me as a nigga whine I walk by
|
| That’s O.K. |
| — this nigga will play the role and come again and take back the
|
| Earth another day
|
| I’m a nigga baby, we some niggas baby
|
| Some do walk, some do talk, some may buss their Glocks
|
| But I’m a nigga for lie and a man by choice
|
| Walkin through London a balck man (nigga)
|
| Walkin through Rexdale a black man (nigga)
|
| Strollin through Dectaur as a black man (nigga)
|
| Yo, I was born to emcee representin with the Figurez
|
| I can taste the history livin in my bones
|
| For the thickness I got a love jones
|
| I like my girls with the nappy dug out hips and chest buss out
|
| Lips real full, gettin ready to cuss out
|
| Parasuco gettin insulated by the structure
|
| Body so powered that the labels be stickin out in 3-D
|
| We salute the ladies — raped over time pushin out light babies
|
| The slave masters with the devil in their eye
|
| Saw nothin but a nigga when you walked by
|
| But you the mother of creation
|
| Let’s bring back the family aspect and try to build a strong nation
|
| Walkin through Chinatown a black man (nigga)
|
| Walkin through the projects a balck man (nigga)
|
| Strollin through Africa a black man (nigga)
|
| Some try to disrespect to make themsleves look bigger
|
| I am a nigga since birth, a man by choice
|
| Some men act niggerish pushin Rolls Royces
|
| Thinkin them toys make a man
|
| While you johnin them hookers
|
| We tryin to make a stand
|
| What you believe in?
|
| Chris Rock? |
| Or crack rock?
|
| Soft rock? |
| Or hard rock?
|
| When I talk the whole world rocks
|
| LIke the vote, we can change thinkin
|
| Before you set a float your whole concepts sinkin
|
| You know I like to see you back that ass up
|
| But before you pass up, you should get your damn class up!
|
| Take the hood out your mouth and parle!
|
| So we can take back the world right now, today! |
