Negro Wit' An Ego |
| Artist: Salt N Pepa |
| Album: Blacks' Magic |
| Song: Negro Wit an Ego |
| Here we go (yo), I’m a negro with an ego |
| So? |
| Don’t tell me what I’m doin' is illegal |
| No, I resort to violence only when provoked |
| Contrary to rumors, I’m no joke |
| If I sound hard it’s because I’m pee-ed off |
| And do you wanna know why? |
| Go 'head, tell 'em, Salt |
| All right, let me explain what upset me |
| No, we ain’t tryin' to be sexy |
| Dismiss is quick with a miss like a tongue |
| Cuz I’d run if I was a chick, pick up a hit list |
| And I’m-a kick it like this |
| The word is out, you played me out |
| I won’t scream and shout, straighten it out now |
| Don’t lie and spy, stop tryin' to connive me |
| Slow your roll, you don’t even know me |
| I’m not a militant, but I’m equivilant |
| To an activist, all I’m after is cheer among all |
| I don’t care if they’re big or small, short or tall |
| We’ve got to stand to fall, ain’t that right, y’all? |
| Now all I can talk about is what I know |
| And all I know about is what I witness |
| What I witness is what I see |
| Me, way below status quo cuz I’m a negro with an ego |
| Yo, that don’t go |
| Put some faith in your race |
| Put some faith in your race (repeat) |
| I’m black, and I’m proud to be a |
| African-American soul sister |
| Usin' my mind as a weapon, a lethal injection |
| And oh yes, I’m the best in whatever I do |
| I do better, I’m clever |
| I never half-step ask Salt or Pepa |
| We’re partners in rhyme, one of a kind |
| This affair is rare, and you will never find |
| Another like me, gimme the mic, it’s mine |
| Keep your mitts off this, yo, Salt, it’s time |
| To let the public know the subject of the show |
| Is what America calls a negro with an ego |
| Yo, that don’t go, that’s a negative so… |
| Porche, Benz, and BM’s are all suitable |
| For people who sell pharmacuticles |
| That’s a stereotype, that’s the hype |
| Don’t ask me why I have an attitude (all right) |
| When I drop a nine-eleven on my 200C |
| The cops are surprised to see a minority |
| Behind the wheel of this car, it must be narcotics |
| How else could she have got it? |
| A brown-skinned female with two problems to correct |
| Wrong color, wrong sex |
| Sometimes I feel the real deal is to be a rebel |
| But that would bring me down to their level |
| I won’t settle for that, it’s unacceptable |
| Cuz Salt and Pepa’s always very respectable |
| Sometimes we get crazy and outta hand |
| But it’s all in the fun of makin' everybody dance |
| I’m proud of who and what I am so call me a negro with an ego |
| And get ready to go blow for blow |
