Nigger

Goddamn, my man, you see, I can't understand
Why you wanna say nigga to your brother man
Talking black pride then you call yourself a nigga
Don't bring yourself down 'cause it just don't figure
Take a look at yourself and your history
You don't look like a goddamn nigga to me
It's a negative word and the white man made it
Gave you a name to dominate and trade it
Making blood money off his very own race, man
And all of this because of the color of your face, man

Nigga
Nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga
Nigga
Nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga
Nigga
Nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga
Nigga

Raised and educated in a neighborhood of crime
Taught from the beginning that you weren't worth time
Liquor store and gun store next to one another
With only one purpose, so you all kill each other
Leaving one less problem to worry about
That's the way they do it, this is how it turns out
Injustice for all with the American government
I wanna know where all the goddamn money went
We didn't see it and it didn't do no good
I guess you couldn't give a fuck about a black neighborhood

Nigga
Nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga
Nigga
Nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga
Nigga
Nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga
Nigga
Nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga

You're the real niggas
Nigga
You're the real niggas
Nigga
You're the real niggas
Nigga
You're the real niggas

There's always gonna be fanatical minorities
The Ku Klux Klan and fucked up authorities
Conservative cunts and religious preachers
I don't care 'cause they ain't our teachers
Living a life they say is free from sin
Then they judge another person by the color of their skin
I feel ashamed of myself, I'm a white human being
Surrounded by suckers too afraid to be seen

There ain't such a thing called superior race
And there ain't nothing special 'bout the color of your face
You got a one way ticket to a dead end street
The pressure is on, so feel the heat
Media pollution is a very bad solution
Hypocritical hype is your only contribution
So leave us alone and give your brothers some space
'Cause you're a lousy contribution to the human race

Nigga
Nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga
Nigga
Nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga
Nigga
Nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga
Nigga
Nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga

You're the real niggas
Nigga
You're the real niggas
Nigga
You're the real niggas
Nigga

You're the real niggas
